Full Day Indigenous Ainu of Hokkaido and Jozankei

Peter_K, Oct 2026

A Wonderful Day

This tour met all my expectations. It was the only experience I signed up for during my 5 days in Sapporo. The tour began at an easy-to-find location at Sapporo Station. Scott met us at the designated time. There were only two of us. Using a train and a bus we went south to the Ainu Cultural Center. Scott explained a lot of the artifacts on display, which I found interesting. Next came lunch in Jozankei and then a short, but enjoyable hike by the river. The last stop was at an onsen. Since it was my first time, he explained everything I needed to know to follow traditions. On the ride back, he shared a lot of his understanding about Japanese culture, education, and economics. Scott was an excellent guide and this was a wonderful tour. I am glad it is the one I selected.

Yuki was great! We completely customized our day trip, and he was flexible and happy to adjust as we went. He was prompt, friendly, and made the whole day easy and relaxed for us. Although we spoke different languages, he made every effort to communicate, and we had no trouble understanding each other. We really enjoyed our day exploring Hokkaido with him and would definitely recommend!

Beautiful handmade souvenirs

From the moment I made our reservation, the communication with the instructor was fast and reliable giving me answers to any concerns or questions. Such responses were greatly appreciated since we were unfamiliar with Sapporo. Wonderfully, it was a short walk from our hotel in Susukino. The workshop where the class was held was easy to find especially since the instructor waited outside the building with a clear sign. The worship area was easily accessible by elevator. Erica and Hina clearly and patiently instructed us in English with constant attention. The class was organized and all supplies were provided. There was a varied range of woods with concise explanations of each type for our selection. Guidance throughout the process is patient, friendly and supportive. They even provided a variety of decorations and packaging styles which enhanced our handmade chopsticks. It was truly an enjoyable hour or more with a beautiful and practical souvenir as a result of our own work. We emphatically recommend this workshop while in Sapporo. Arigato, Erica and Hina!

Amazing Soba Workshop With the Kindest Instructor.

Making soba noodles at Mondo’s Most Popular No.1 in Sapporo was such a highlight of our trip. Fresh soba is on a totally different level — the taste and texture blew me away. Taku, the owner, was incredibly patient and kind, showing us exactly how to mix the dough, roll it out, and hand‑cut the noodles with the traditional soba knife.They served tempura with our finished soba, and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. The Hokkaido corn was unbelievably sweet — a perfect little surprise that made the whole meal even better.A fun, hands‑on experience and one of our favorite memories from Hokkaido. Highly recommend.

Taste freshly made soba noodles made by yourself at a real local soba shop!Private plan for 1 group only.

Jonathan_C, July 2026

Highly Recommend Handmade Soba Mondo

Excellent experience for the whole family! Taku and his wife are the epitome of Japanese hospitality. Located about 20 minutes away from Sapporo Station by Taxi. We used the Go Taxi App. 1 hour includes history of soba, mixing soba flour and water by hand, rolling, and cutting by hand. The noodles are delicious and chewy. The soba sauce and soup are equally delicious. You can add on tempura if you’d like. Highly recommend this experience for the whole family.

Sapporo: Izakaya & Street Food Tour (10+ Dishes, Drinks Included)

Stephanie_C, June 2026

Awesome food tour with Tsuru!

My partner and I went on the food tour with our guide Tsuru. He was incredibly enthusiastic, friendly, and had a lot of local knowledge of the area. He took us to his favourite local spots, including an izakaya with all you can eat dishes and drinks. We stayed there for about an hour, and it was the perfect setting for great conversations. We also went to some outdoor food stalls across the street from Nijo market that sold delicious yakitori. Because we were a very small group, Tsuru went above and beyond by customizing the itinerary for us. At our request, he took us to Norbesa to check out anime merchandise and gaming hardware, which we loved. We ended the tour with ice cream. We had a great time there!

Snowshoeing and Onsen Adventures in a Winter Wonderland -Sapporo.

Nasser_A, Mar 2026

Magical experience

I had an amazing snowshoeing experience with Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, which made me feel completely safe throughout the trip. Everything was well organized, and the meeting instructions were very clear. Chris guided me through beautiful routes with truly magical and peaceful views. If you’re lucky, you might even see wildlife like deer, foxes, and birds, which made the experience even more special. Chris was also very respectful and thoughtful. Knowing that I’m Muslim, he made sure to provide snacks that didn’t contain pork or alcohol, which I really appreciated. When I wasn’t comfortable going to the onsen, he kindly offered an alternative plan and took me to a frozen lake near Sapporo instead. Walking on the frozen lake was something I had always wanted to experience, and seeing people camping there made it even more memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend
