In 2005 I visited Hokkaido once and I missed it so much thereafter. I’d like to visit Furano in summer, but I’ve already spent too much! After two years, I thought maybe it’s time! So, let’s visit Japan for another 14 days! Why not?

I took a domestic flight to fly from Tokyo to Sapporo instead of by train. I  didn’t bring my Sony V1 camera, but my new Nikon D70s Kit set + Sigma 20-300 instead!

It was late July and I was going to Hokkaido South during this summer time!

Day 1 was for transport only and in day 2, I visited Sapporo!

(1) Sapporo JR Station

(2) Odori Park

(3) The wonderful Beer Festival!

I thought I have set the alarm, but it is 8am when I get up! Therefore I quickly go to the hotel’s restaurant to have breakfast and after that - get the car!

*We stay in Chisun Inn for the first two nights and we live in room346, but when we arrive 3/F, we see the signs writing "301-345 turn left and 347 - 3xx turn right" - so where is our 346????? I wanted to ask the receptionist, but luckily we found 346 after we tried to turn right.

Ken said, "so weird?!?!"

I said, "……" (sweating)

This is how I feel after I entered the room:I think I will never pick this hotel again.

Our first stop - Jyogai Market which is close to Sapporo.

Cute fence!

See the small car at the right hand side carrying several children? Interesting!

This is the Hong Kong International Airport and I am waiting for the ANA flight departing at 01:30am (from Hong Kong to Airport Limousine). I am getting well from illness so I am quite tired.

The dinner looks great, but I can’t eat the spicy curry rice with shrimp, OMG!

The only way, I eat the side dishes. Unfortunately, I don’t like celery salad. Anyway, I better have some sleep now.

We go to get the car after we have arrived Airport Limousine, by the way, nice whether in Sapporo!

We drive from the airport to "苫小牧的マルトマ食堂" and eat the famous hokkigai there. We thought they have closed already, but we found it is actually a small place inside and there are lots of celebrities’ autographs and… flies!
