The Most Memorable Experience of My Sapporo Trip!
Hello! I’m a traveler from South Korea.
I had always wanted to learn authentic Japanese home cooking, so I searched for cooking classes in Sapporo. I found this class through an AI recommendation, and after reading so many wonderful reviews, I decided to book it. What really stood out to me was that, unlike other classes, this one included a visit to a local market, which made the experience even more special.
The instructor spoke both Japanese and English very well, so communication was smooth and comfortable throughout the entire experience.
At the market, she recommended products that locals actually use. If I had visited the market on my own as a tourist, I probably would have ended up buying a few disappointing souvenirs. Instead, every single item she recommended turned out to be amazing! I brought them back to Korea, shared them with my family and friends, and even recreated the dishes at home. Everything was a huge success!
Before the class, she asked what I wanted to learn, so I was able to cook the exact Japanese dishes I had hoped to make. I also learned a lot about Japanese seasonings, cooking utensils, and ingredients she uses in her own kitchen. Those little tips made the class even more valuable.
Most importantly, she was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. We had great conversations throughout the class, and she explained every step so clearly that I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end.
I originally thought this was simply a small-group class, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s actually one private booking per session. That made the experience even more personal and enjoyable.
This time I joined by myself, but next time I’d love to come back with my friends or family.
I truly think many Korean travelers would love this class if they knew about it. Hopefully I’ll have the chance to visit again before it becomes even more popular!
Thank you so much for giving me one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Sapporo. I’ll never forget it!
안녕하세요! 저는 한국에서 온 여행객입니다.
일본에서 현지 요리를 직접 배워보고 싶어서 여러 클래스를 찾아보던 중 AI 추천을 통해 이 클래스를 알게 되었고, 리뷰가 너무 좋아 예약하게 되었습니다. 특히 다른 클래스와 달리 로컬 시장을 함께 둘러볼 수 있다는 점이 가장 큰 매력이었어요.
선생님께서는 일본어는 물론 영어도 정말 잘하셔서 소통하는 데 전혀 어려움이 없었습니다. 시장에서는 여행객인 제가 혼자였다면 절대 고르지 못했을 좋은 제품들만 추천해 주셨는데, 한국에 가져와 가족과 친구들에게 선물도 하고 직접 요리도 해 먹었는데 모두 정말 만족스러웠습니다. 실패한 제품이 하나도 없어서 더욱 감사했어요. 😊
또 수업 전에 어떤 요리를 배우고 싶은지 미리 물어봐 주셔서 꼭 배우고 싶었던 일본 요리를 직접 만들어 볼 수 있었습니다. 요리 과정뿐만 아니라 평소 사용하시는 조리도구와 조미료, 일본 식재료에 대한 설명도 정말 유익했고, 한국에서는 쉽게 접하기 어려운 정보라 더욱 흥미로웠습니다.
무엇보다 수업 내내 편안한 분위기에서 즐겁게 대화해 주시고, 하나하나 친절하게 알려주셔서 정말 행복한 시간이었습니다.
처음에는 소수 인원으로 진행되는 클래스인 줄만 알았는데, 한 팀만 진행하는 완전한 프라이빗 클래스여서 더욱 만족스러웠습니다. 이번에는 혼자 참여했지만 다음에는 꼭 친구들이나 가족과 함께 다시 오고 싶어요.
한국에도 이런 클래스를 알게 된다면 정말 많은 분들이 찾아오실 것 같습니다. 더 유명해지기 전에 저도 다시 한 번 레슨을 받고 싶네요. 😊
덕분에 삿포로 여행에서 가장 특별하고 오래 기억에 남을 추억을 만들었습니다. 진심으로 감사드립니다, 선생님!

An unforgettable Hokkaido journey with legendary hospitality! 5/5 stars
We had an absolutely joyful time exploring Furano,lake Toya, blue pond and Shirahige falls.Every single destination was stunningly beautiful and the landscapes left our family in complete awe.
The highlight of our experience, however, was our wonderful driver cum guide , Mrs Ori. Who went completely out of her way to ensure our journey was comfortable and smooth.we will never forget her warmth and incredible hospitality.
To top it all off, Mrs Ori shared the wonderful news that the company had generously offered us a complimentary vehicle drop off from our hotel straight to the airport . This thoughtful gesture made our departure completely stress free.
Thank you Viator and Mrs Ori, for s beautiful, seamless and deeply memorable family vacation! Highly recommended!

Shiori is the best
From start to finish Shiori was so friendly, it was like an aunty picking us up from the station. We learnt how to make sushi from scratch and she explains all the ingredients and then she served us an absolute banquet too! I think we had about 7/8 courses in the end. We even briefly met her family as it was in her home. She offered for me to try on her grandmothers kimono and it was really special. The day was just great, highlight of our trip to Hokkaido. Would recommend for all abilities too. Shiori is the best!

Natural beauty
Great tour taking in plenty of natural beauty in southern Hokkaido. Jay was a great guide - really knowledgable and took good care of the group at every stop - always available to provide tips on where to go, best things to awe and how to avoid the crowds.

This was a fun tour. Our guide, Kaz, was very genuine and was able to give us lots of information. The experience felt more like hanging out with friends, even though we had just met Kaz and our other travelers. We were able to also go to places that we never would've found on our own. We would definitely recommend!

Fabulous walking tour
We had a wonderful tailored walking tour with Shiunn who has an obvious passion for Sapporo and was quick to pick up on our interests. We had a lovely spontaneous tea ceremony at a tea shop which she proposed when she heard it was my husbands birthday and that he loved tea. A fabulous way to see the city when first arriving.

Fulfilling Soba Experience
It's a very homey hands-on experience! Basically one-on-one which is the best. Taku-san was very knowledgeable about soba and it was fun to hear about soba culture vs udon culture. He's patient and encouraging in his guidance so it's easy to feel at ease under his tutelage! The soba itself was delicious (even more so since we made it ourselves) and a completely different experience compared to non-fresh soba noodles. You get to enjoy both cold soba and hot soba then you end off with Sobayu (the water in which soba was boiled in). We enjoyed the Ezo deer shabu shabu and the soba a lot, and would absolutely recommend this experience with Taku-san! :)

Well worth it soba class
Awesome experience! Taku taught us about the culture of soba in Hokkaido and the region north of Tokyo. About the golden ratio between Hokkaido Buckwheat flour, Hokkaido flour to water mix. How to mix it properly, shape and roll it properly and the technique of consistent cutting. And then eating the sobe was a whole other experience in itself. We're very glad that we decided to book this class and highly recommend it.

Fun Day Great Sights
Got to see some pretty spectacular sights on a snowy day - a zoo covered in snow, a waterfall, lake and artisans at work. Tomi our guide and driver did a fantastic job making sure we were comfortable and beautifully navigated the snowy roads and road closures.

Add this to your itinerary!
One of the best experiences on our trip to Hokkaido! The owners were extremely hospitable, friendly, and kind. The instruction to make the soba was thorough yet simple, filled with the history of soba in Japanese culture. It’s an incredible joy to eat the soba you prepared in their cozy restaurant along with some delicious tempura. Highly recommend this experience, guaranteed to be a pleasant surprise and a time to remember.

Time well spent in Sapporo
Must do tour with a private guide. Kumiko,our guide, took us to a restaurant the locals enjoy and other sights. Finished at the Beer Museum 🍺. All the way around we had some great conversation and a few laughs as well. Highly recommend this tour and guide.

Roy Aoki was very knowledgeable about Sapporo and helped me plan a custom trip suited to my needs. We were able to walk around Sapporo in refreshing weather, visiting the Sapporo Beer Museum, Tower 38 Observatory, Odori Park among others.
The tour guide Roy Aoki also spoke excellent English and we were able to discuss many things about Sapporo
