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

The weather was clear and mild, during the latter half of the Golden Week holidays. There were many people out and about in the city. At Odori Park, the late-blooming cherry blossoms and tulips were in full bloom. The guests saw many local residents and travelers relaxing peacefully under the afternoon sunshine. At Nijo Market, the guests took their time observing the seafood, vegetables, fruits, and other items on display at the storefronts, and seemed genuinely interested. Right after we met, the guests mentioned a particular brand of liquor and the name of a shop, so I kept that in mind as we walked through the city. Later, they were able to obtain the drink they had been hoping for and seemed very satisfied.
