Hi, I'm Fadil
Independent local guide in Sapporo, the person behind every guide on Hokkaigo
Hi, I'm Fadil, a French engineer-turned-Hokkaido adventurer. After cycling from Tokyo to Mount Fuji and road-tripping across Japan, I fell in love with Hokkaido's rugged beauty and unique culture. Now based in Sapporo, I've explored every corner of this island, from the lavender fields of Furano to the volcanic trails of Noboribetsu, by bike, car, and motorbike.
Fluent in French, English, and Arabic, I've guided over 60 travelers from around the world, sharing Hokkaido's rich history. My ongoing Japanese studies and deep connection to the island let me craft personalized, immersive tours that go beyond the guidebook.
Everything on this site, from driving in Hokkaido to the monthly Sapporo events guides, is written from that first-hand experience, not copied from brochures. If a guide says a road, restaurant, or festival is worth it, it's because I've been.
