What a fantastic trip to Hokkaido!
From : United States 3 Group member, 2024.8
What a fantastic trip to Hokkaido! Ken was fantastic – he got everything organized exactly the way we wanted it, communicated with us really well in advance of the trip, and helped us with last-minute changes we wanted to make while we were traveling. He even went above and beyond and met us for lunch and a private chopstick lesson! We loved the hotels, especially the two ryokans, and we did some activities that we never would have figured out how to organize ourselves – like a tofu-making lesson, including a visit to a soybean farm. Our driver, Tommy, was amazing too, as were our local guides Masa and Ted. They made the trip even more special!
About this trip
This trip, which I had the pleasure of planning, is for a couple and their nephew. They will begin their journey in Hakodate, Hokkaido, and will experience traditional Japanese culture in the Sapporo area. Learning how to use chopsticks together was so much fun! I hope they keep using them back home. I designed this itinerary with the hope that they will create lasting memories of a Japanese summer.
