Sapporo Private Tour Report: What Can a Licensed Guide Show You at Okurayama Ski Jump and the Olympic Museum?
The original plan was to visit Mount Moiwa, but after learning that the guests had a background in sports and had previously done winter sports, I proposed visiting the Sapporo Olympic Museum together with the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium. The guests happily accepted the change. The weather was fine, and the cityscape of Sapporo could be seen clearly, and they were very satisfied with the view. Although they were not very familiar with the athletes from the era of the Sapporo Olympics, their interest in the sports meant they explored the museum with great enthusiasm.

I was born and raised in Hokkaido and have been a resident of Sapporo for over 30 years. I have been actively involved in guiding tourists around the scenic spots of Hokkaido, primarily focusing on Sapporo. Even before becoming a licensed interpreter guide, I engaged in volunteer activities to assist and guide foreigners, providing me with valuable opportunities to delve into the rich culture and history of Hokkaido.
Hokkaido is renowned for its exceptional culinary scene, and I am well-versed in gourmet information. I believe I can offer an excellent experience by guiding individuals through the highly acclaimed food experiences that Hokkaido has to offer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 hours touring Sapporo with our guide, Tom. He had contacted us beforehand. So we were able to cater our tour to our interests. He was kind and very accommodating. We left the tour with a lovely impression of Sapporo and an appreciation of its history. Tom always offered to take pictures of us and I commend his picture taking skills.

Super Sapporo in April with Tom.
Tom was kind enough to meet at our hotel to start the tour and then sat with us to make sure we saw the best of Sapporo that was available to us on the day. We even managed some Cherry Blossom which was an unexpected bonus.
Tom ensured we got to Sapporos highest view away from any crowds and navigated our route brilliantly. He left us at the Sapporo Brewery for us to drink and eat in our own time. We wish Tom sincere thanks for a great day in Sapporo.
Awesome!!
