This post will show what I bought in Japan. It seems a bit too much. 
Actually it is more or less the same as my trip in 2005.
I like the banana cake (Tokyo). We needed to queue and buy it. The one at the right hand said is chocolate, I bought it at Sapporo.

Besides sushi and noodle, we also tried some nice western cuisine.

It is the last two day of my trip (day 13 & 14) and of course I’m now in Tokyo doing some shopping! We often stay in Harajuku and actually it is a place that has a lot of nice things to see. It has the only one Head Porter store in Japan, Burberry’s Blue Label & Black Labe, and Agnes b.
You must know Yamanote line of JR. Below is its station and its train is green.
We also visited Sanrio store and bought some new products. But we found it in Hong Kong later.

Time flies! It is the 12th day of our trip and we are heading to Kyoto (We have the countrywide JR Pass). My wife said she wants to visit Kiyomizu Temple very much, it is quite far away though.
It takes 3 hours for us to get to the Kyoto Station by the Shinkansen New Tokkaido Line and it is 11am already. The station looks grand. We must walk around.

This is day 9 - we take the train (07:00 - 09:54) from Hakodateto to Hachinohe, and then another one (10:05 - 13:08) from Hachinohe to Tokyo. It is in the afternoon now, we unpack our luggage and play around in Tokyo. Actually we are quite familiar with Tokyo, especially the JR line. A lot of friends asked me to buy things for them, and we think that we won’t have enough time here in Tokyo; therefore we change our plan and spend one more day here!
I didn’t take many pictures in Tokyo - shopping only
This is day 11 - We are going to Karuizawa today. In the morning we take the Shinkansen (08:16 - 09:27) to Karuizawa. We don’t have much details about this place, so we join a local tour again (which is recommended by a Hong Kong girl).
This is the leaflet of the tour.
The tour:

It is day 8 - I’m on the way to Tokyo! In this morning I have to take the train from Sapporo to Hakodate, and it will take more than three hours. Actually, Hakodate is not the must-go place for me in this trip, it is just a stop right between Sapporo and Tokyo. I’ve been Hakodate before, and this time I will visit one of the new three travel spots - Onuma Quasi-National Park.
Weather is bad and it is raining again! Not sure if it is because of the bad weather, I think that it is not a really great place to visit.

I’ve been Furano two days ago for visiting the wine factory and Farm Tomita, and today, I’m heading to that farm again! Let’s see if I will discover some more good stuffs!
At that night we booked Lavender Express again, this line only rides in summer between Sapporo and Furano, you should try it!
Though I got a driver license, I seldom drive. I didn’t think I should rent a car in Hokkaido, yet, I found that I was wrong as places we want to visit in Biei and Furano are not close to each others!
Yes! It is the seventh day of my trip, and I’m heading to Furano! Again, it is raining and I can’t take photos of the beautiful flowers with the blue sky!
I walk outside the farm and found a cable car (for one passenger only) that rides visitor to higher places to see the scenery. Nice.

I brought my notebook with me (I did it too in the last two times I traveled Japan) as it is more convenient for me to share my photos with my family members. Actually I have a portable device to save my photos, but I feel securer to keep an extra copy.
Besides, it’s good to communicate with other people via MSN, as I can do it at night in the hotel room. Some hotel’s broadband service allows customers to have video & audio conference, but some is voice only. It does save some fee for long distance calls!
Because of this, my wife chats with other people via MSN every night, and one of her friends said that she likes the Hello Kitty mug we bought in Otaru two days ago. Therefore, we go to buy it in the next morning! After that I rush to the train and I am soooo tired! Fortunately I’ve got a seat after a while.
We are going to Asahikawa in the afternoon. We arrive at the zoo at 2pm. We have to hurry up!

This is day 5. I planned to have bike riding in Biei, but it is raining now! Buses don’t come frequently and I have to visit quite a lot of places in Biei, so, I joined a local tour! However, I don’t enjoy the tour. I haven’t had enough fun here and the tour guide said, ‘It’s time to go!"
Compared with Furano, Biei is more suburban and natural.
