Masaki-san was simply exceptional! He picked us up directly from the port, where we were cruising with Royal Caribbean, and offered us an amazing day in Hakodate. The tour was perfectly organized, and Masaki knew how to adapt to all our wishes. He introduced us to beautiful places, full of history and exciting stories about the city. We even had the chance to visit Mount Hakodate, with spectacular views, and it found us a great place to buy second-hand kimonos — a magical moment for the whole family! Masaki-san is not only a thoughtful and professional guide, but also a person of great kindness. We already miss him! It’s a shame he lives so far away, because we would surely have become friends.❤️ I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to discover Hakodate differently, with a real passionate local.

We had a great time. Our guide Keiko was an excellent host and driver and spoke good English. We went to Onuma National Park, the scenery was great, the fall leaves were turning colors and the lake was beautiful. We took about an hour walk along the paths in the park. We also went to the top of Mt. Hakodate, the view from there was incredible. We also went to the Goryokaku fort and the nearby art museum. We had lunch at the Lucky Pierrot restaurant which is a renowned local hamburger joint. Highly recommend this tour especially for the trip out to the park.

We had a great day in Hakodate with Masaki as our guide. We don't usually like to visit all the "top" sites and Masaki tailored our tour that really suited us. He was easy to understand, gave us great information about history, what local life is like, and provided a narrative as we drove between locations. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide!

Masaki did an excellent job! He not only showed us the most beautiful sides of Hakodate, he also gave us a lot of information about the respective sights and Hakodate. Very important for us as cruise tourists: he picked us up from the cruise terminal and brought us there again. And with his route planning, we were always at the right time at the respective sights - without the big tourist groups. It was a wonderful day and we can highly recommend Masaki. Thanks for the great day, Julia, Klaus and Tina from Austria.

Masaki was an amazing guide. He tailor-made an itinerary for us and what we wanted for the tour. He worked with the cruise schedule and picked us up right at the terminal. Found local spots and beat the bus (cruise tours). He gave us history and culture during the tour, spoke very good English to answer questions. It was perfect
