I mainly offer insightful walking tours in Sapporo for international visitors, along with a selection of other guided experiences. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a nurse for seven years at a university hospital in Japan and later gained experience in elderly care in New Zealand. I now balance my work as a public health nurse with guiding, sharing the history and culture of the region.
Drawing on my healthcare background, I pay close attention to each guest’s lifestyle, travel experience, and interests. My goal is to create tours that offer meaningful insights into local life and culture, highlighting both similarities and differences in ways that lead to genuine connection, discovery, and enjoyment during your time in Hokkaido.

Born in Furano, Hokkaido, I spent my childhood immersed in outdoor play year-round.

After traveling for about four years through New Zealand, Canada, and Australia, I returned home and began my career as an outdoor guide.

I started guiding for rafting and canoeing about 15 years ago, and I’m still guiding here in Furano today.

Exploring rivers like the Teshio, Ishikari, Biei, Chubetsu, Sorachi, Shisorapuchi, Nunobe, Mukawa, Yubari, Chitose, and Shiribetsu, among many others.

Born in Shizuoka Prefecture in 1971. Loved camping since childhood! After discovering kayaking, he was drawn to rivers, and his first overseas trip was a 250km river trip on the Yukon River. Wanting to go down more rivers, he quit his job as a salaryman and moved to Hokkaido. While traveling around the prefecture in search of new rivers, he is also interested in environmental issues and learns about the importance of nature with local children.

Terasawa has lived on Teuri Island since he was 22 years old, photographing seabirds while working on their conservation. Terasawa takes you on a small boat into the world of seabirds that he knows so well, on the “Seabird Adventure Cruise.” The lively expressions and energetic behavior of seabirds seen up close is dramatic in itself. This cruise will be a special seabird experience for you.
