What Is a Winter Evening Private Walking Tour of Central Sapporo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
Initially, I proposed an itinerary for this tour that included the Sapporo Clock Tower, the former Hokkaido Government Office, the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium, and the Shiroi Koibito Park. After meeting the guests and discussing the plan, they said that due to the cold, the slippery road surfaces, and the fact that it was after sunset, they preferred to spend their time in the city center, so I changed the plan to a walk around central Sapporo.
After sunset, the main streets in the city were illuminated with lights, and the guests spent the entire time taking photos while exclaiming with delight. As the guide, I also helped with taking their photos. In addition, I showed them how to get to the bus stop for Asahikawa, their next day's destination, at the north exit of JR Sapporo Station.

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.
