This is not a cookie‑cutter sightseeing tour — it’s a personalised journey through Sapporo shaped around your interests. Whether you want to seek out cultural treasures, taste regional specialties, or wander quieter corners of the city, your host will design a route that brings those interests to life. As you move through the city, expect relaxed conversation and flexible pacing so the day feels more like exploring with a friend than following a rigid script.

Within 24 hours of booking you’ll receive a short questionnaire to share your preferences. Based on your answers, you’ll be matched with a like‑minded local who will contact you directly to co‑create your itinerary. Along the way you may learn about Sapporo’s history and culture, sample local flavours, and visit spots that reflect your personal interests — exact stops will depend on what you choose together. The experience focuses on a tailored, conversational exploration rather than a fixed list of sights.
