I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido. Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature. I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.

I used to be a high school English teacher at the public high school in Hokkaido. I retired from an English teacher 6 years ago and I got a license of the national government licensed guide interpreter. I live in a small city named Abashiri, which is located in the eastern part of Hokkaido island, Japan and very rich in nature. Abashiri is surrounded by natural beauty such as lakes, rivers and mountains. I like to go hiking in the mountains near our city all year round. In spring, we can see beautiful peaks crwoned with remaining snow, in summer there are a lot of alpine flowers, in autumn we can see gorgeous autumn colors and in winter we can enjoy snowshoeing in the small mountains on sunny days and seeing beautiful Okhotsk Sea covered with drift ice. I would like you to enjoy walking in the forests while hearing birds singing. I hope you will have a chace to enjoy some of them. I can help you spend wonderful time here. Abashiri offers you not only natural beauty but also some interesting museums which specialize in northern minorities such as Ainu, Inuit and Eskimo. Also, there is a drift ice museum where you can touch some drift ice in the very cold room (-15 degrees Celsius) even in summer. You will have a great time visiting those small museums.

Hi, I am Mayu. I can speak English and Spanish (for guiding my Spanish needs to be polished. But I can communicate). I have had experiences as a tour leader for groups of Japanese tourists to foreign countries and foreign tourists in Japan, Tokyo, Osaka. Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kanazawa and many other cities. I live in Hokkaido. My tours are around my city, Asahikawa. But I can customize your plan and take you around Japan. (Please let me know 2 weeks before your plan.) Even if my days are not available on my calendar, I could arrange them for you. So please ask me for availability.(I am not available from Sep. 17 to Nov. 4 ) I like hiking and cycling. If you are interested in those things, I will make a plan for you. I am looking forward to showing you around Japan. Hola, Me llamo Mayu. Soy guia turistica. Puedo comunicar bien en Español. Pero tal vez no sería suficiente para hacer turismo. Si te gusta que te guie, después de comunicar con usted, será un placer.

Very Unprofessional behaviour

I tour with Min for a few days and also booked other tour guides that were brilliant as i needed more help as it was my first time ever traveling alone and i was very valuable in Japan. I did tell Min about being depressed and stressed out before coming to Japan. Min is a very caring person and good at her job in lots of ways so it pain me to write this honest review But when touring with me it's like she completely switched her personality and forgot her job and min is not capable of understanding how to treat people equally or having any patience whatsoever. Min was very disrespectful and I regret ever trusting her and touring with her because lots of misleading behaviour that destroys my holiday and did not treat me like she was my tour guide one bit it felt like she was angry at times or bored it probably partly my fault as i am a very quiet person but she did not make much effort some days. After finish touring with Min I tour with another guide and noticed just how very unprofessional Min behaviour was towards me I honestly need to stand up for myself in the future.

Good guide

Tateo was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of Okinawa, but he might not be the ideal choice for YouTube videos, possibly due to his age.

Tateo U.

Thank you for coming Okinawa for an interview on the theme of longevity. I would be happy if I could be of some help. I hope for good result. Thank you for writing a review. Regards Tateo U.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you had a good time in Osaka yesterday. By the way, how is your knee? Are you okay? Have you heard that JR had made a cancellation announcement? I hope that everything will go well with you.
