Spend two hours with Yuki and Yui learning decorative flower sushi rolls in Sapporo. You get English instruction, ingredients, a free apron, recipes, take-home sushi, and optional bento or miso soup lessons.
“It was so much fun! Yuki was such an amazing host, she has the cutest cat ever, and her instructions and recipe were easy to understand and follow. If you want to learn how to make sushi and have some time to learn and have some nice tea and conversation, would definitely recommend this to anyone!”
Walk central Sapporo in a small group of up to eight, with an English-speaking guide such as Seiko. Visit landmark buildings, sample Hokkaido sweets, enjoy TV Tower views, and finish near Tanukikoji.
“My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this walking tour in Sapporo, our guide Seiko was exceptional with great energy. She took us to several very interesting locations in the city, one of the stops was this tea shop, which was perfect for the cold weather, we recommend this tour for anyone visiting Sapporo for the first time.”
Meet near Chitose Station for a private, guide-led rafting trip on the gentle Chitose River. You’ll receive a safety lesson, spend about 45 minutes on the water, watch for kingfishers, then enjoy river play before returning by the guide’s car.
Join a private, guided 2-hour canoe trip from near New Chitose Airport. Paddle 4 km down the Bibi River toward Lake Utonai, passing from calm open water into a jungle-like marsh forest. Airport pickup is available, and dogs may join with a life jacket.
