Overview
Discover the soul of Hokkaido through its food on this private Sapporo walking tour led by a government-licensed English-speaking local guide. Sapporo is Japan's seafood and ramen capital, and you will taste exactly why. Begin at the lively Nijo Market, where stalls overflow with snow crab, sea urchin, scallops and salmon roe pulled fresh from the cold northern seas. Next, stroll the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market (Jogai Market) to see where the city's chefs source their morning catch, and sample melt-in-your-mouth uni and grilled shellfish. Then warm up along Ganso Sapporo Ramen Yokocho, the legendary alley that gave birth to rich miso ramen, and slurp a steaming bowl made the authentic Hokkaido way. Because this is a private tour, the pace, the stops and the tastings are entirely yours, and your guide shares the history, culture and insider stories behind every dish. It is the perfect choice for food lovers who want an unforgettable, personalized taste of Sapporo.
