What Is a Private Sapporo Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were interested in historical things, so they were very pleased with both the Historical Village of Hokkaido and Hokkaido Shrine. The weather was nice and the temperature was perfect for walking outside, so we had a pleasant tour. For the meal, after viewing the seafood, they considered trying fresh seafood at Nijo Market, but in the end they chose a wagyu beef bowl. They also mentioned being interested in Japanese food. When we said goodbye, the guests told me that with some guides they sometimes feel rushed, but today they were able to relax and it was a very good tour.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and customs of Sapporo and made
sure we saw a wide variety of things. We especially liked Hokkaido Shrine and Odori Park.
