Title: What Is a Private Nature Walk on Mount Moiwa in Sapporo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visitors from North America who had come to Japan to travel around Hokkaido. Under clear skies, [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) guided the group around the Mount Moiwa area, which was covered in fresh green foliage. The guests mentioned that they had visited Japan twice before. They enjoyed a comfortable walk surrounded by the scent of the trees and the singing of small birds. It was a pleasure that we were able to take in the panoramic view from the summit of Mount Moiwa. For lunch, I introduced the group to the famous Sapporo ramen.

Our guide, Kate was very informative and knew the best places to take us as we visited
during winter. It was very cold, windy and icy, but she managed to get us around safely.
