This experience is perfect for travelers who want to explore Hokkaido efficiently, first-time visitors eager to try local specialties, food lovers who adore seafood and sushi, families or small groups who prefer a short walking distance, and anyone with only half a day to spare. All foods are included, and a local Japanese guide accompanies the tour, so there’s no need to worry about language or navigation.
