I was going back to Hong Kong today. We took the airport bus at 1pm. There was one thing that I didn’t like about Sunroute Hotel – the bus schedule was not good! We didn’t have to go to the airport early like this. What’s more, the airport bus only allowed us to have two luggages each.

We were running short of time so we went to Odakyu Department Store. I bought something in Agnis b, including some tees for kids, some clothes for men and a handbag.

Recommended by Miss To, we went to eat chicken wings at night. The wings were yummy but we weren’t enough for us so we went to eat sushi after that.

The salad dressing was good

Entree – 400Yen per head but it was really nice

Dec 24th Silent Night

We left Kidzania and went shopping at Lalaport. I found that a large number of people went to Kidzania during the afternoon – maybe we were quite late in the morning so we didn’t see the long queue. I got an email from my sister and we would meet at Marui Building (0101 Department Store). We then went to Agnis b and surprisingly, there were some discounted merchandise. As I remembered, sale usually started after January 2nd and it was just late December at that time! The discounted items were not good though. I only bought a recycle bag and some accessories as gifts. After that, we went to H & M, museum and Burberry Blue Label. It was dinner time then. My kid was so tired so he slept in the car, though he didn’t sleep long. He kept crying whenever he woke up. We went back to hotel by cap. It cost us 2,700 Yen.

Dec 24th Silent Night

I made a reservation online to Kidzania half year ago. We went for the morning session - 10am to 3pm. We walked for 30 seconds from Sunroute Hotel to the Shinjuku line. It took half an hour from Shinjuku to Kidzania (290Yen). Kidzania is on the 3/F. It was 10:10 when we arrived, so we didn’t need to queue. I showed a printout of the email confirmation to the staff and they checked by visa card (I paid online so I kept in mind I had to bring my visa card). We went to the pilot area but it would take us one and a half hour to queue. Therefore my kid went to photographer’s area instead – queued for 30 minutes only.

We had a ride of the train game, then had lunch at the kids restaurant. It didn’t have a lot of choices but theme parks are all like that. We wanted to go take the 3:15 train (to go shopping in Shinjuku), so we just played some games and left (Thanks god there were not many visitors so we didn’t need to queue). If we missed this train we would need to wait for the 5:00 p.m. one. Actually, the transportation fee was not cheap, but we just spent 3 hours in the park. Anyway my kid liked it.

We went to Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku by Limousine, but the traffic jam delayed our plan. We took a rest at a hotel and went to Ueno to buy some souvenirs. My husband went to buy some toys and I spent my time at 0101 Department Store. It was windy and raining so we stayed in the department store to eat something. We chose a restaurant that serves pizza and spaghetti.   The food was yummy, especially the thin pizza.

We were waiting for a Limousine. It was cold and cloudy.

How time flies! We went back to Tokyo this day. We had breakfast and played at the snow outside the hotel, then packed our stuff and checked out. We went to the New Chitose Airport by Rapid Airport early because we all wanted to shop there.

We went to buy some souvenirs at Tarukikoji 6 which offered 10% off and duty free. After that, we went to eat crab and prawn. We made a reservation for a table and there were only one waiter and one waitress who could actually speak Mandarin. We wanted to order 2 cheaper sets and 2 expensive ones, but the restaurant only allowed us to order the same sets, so we chose the expensive one (5,250Yen per set). For our kid, we have to pay 109 Yen times the age (e.g. if my kid is 4 year-old, the price is 109Yen x 4). We only got 90 minutes to have the dinner, but it was not enough. We stopped ordering Hairy Crab as it took us too much time to eat the crab legs. I liked crab with more meat. This set also offered tempura crab and prawn. After dinner, it was snowing, so we went back to the hotel by taxi.

I actually didn’t have to get up so early this morning but I wanted to enjoy the private hot spring pool before breakfast. It was until 11:30a.m. that the hotel provided us a shuttle bus to go back to Otaru JR Station. I had breakfast at the same place as the dinner last night. I took some photos and again enjoyed the pool before leaving. I had actually bathed at the pool for four times in two days. My sister said her skin became much better after bathing there.

Finally! I saw the sea.
