What Is a Private Sapporo Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The group leader was a person of Japanese origin. The other guests could communicate in English, and I was able to converse with them directly in English, but their native language was a German dialect, so in the latter half the leader often interpreted into that German dialect for the other guests. At Nijo Market, the guests showed great interest in the rows of shops with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere. In Susukino, they lined up at a ramen shop in Ramen Yokocho and enjoyed the flavors of Sapporo. The weather was fine as well, and I believe the guests comfortably enjoyed the tour.
