Spa House has a Wave Pool, Open Air-bath (swim suit is not allowed), Kids Pool and Jet Spa Cottage. You need to pay an entrance fee to enter the Spa House (with Open-Air Bath), or you can pay a lesser amount and just enjoy the Open Air-bath only (this is what most of the Japanese people do). After that, we went to Nininpuri by shuttle bus to have eat. The buffet was ok - the Hokkaido potatoes and corns are the best!  In the past, it was the “Seafood Market” that provided better buffet! After that, my son was tired so we went back to the hotel. The resort will have the brand new Ice Village on December 23rd!

We took the train to Tomamu at 10:00a.m. and arrived at 11:30a.m.. This was the third time I visited here and as usual, I stayed at Villa Sport (as it is quite close to the Resort Center and Viz Spa House). We booked a one-hour private lesson for my kid to learn skiing at 2:00p.m., and we requested a coach who can speak English. Therefore the centre provided a translator for us. However, my kid didn’t finish the one-hour lesson; maybe he was too tired (we wasted the money)! He wanted to drive a snow mobile, but he was too small to do it! So instead, we just took a picture of him with the snow mobile.  After that, we went to the Spa House.

We came to Tomamu again! And this time, we brought one more family member!

We went to Narita (then Hokkaido) by a JAL flight at 10:35am. As we went there with kids, we had the privilege to go through the immigration quicker. We even met Antony Leung and his family (and two maids too). We then did the domestic terminal check-in at 3:30pm, and went to Chitose at 6:40pm. The flight was delayed because there were too many flights. We went to Sapporo by JR at 9:15pm. It was already 10:00pm when we reached Gracery Hotel Sapporo. My eldest kid was with me by then so we didn’t visit the Noodle Street.  We went to Lawson and bought some food instead. I didn’t see any snow in Sapporo and I really felt disappointed.

A small accident happened – my AIGLE Gore-tex shoes got broken! The next day, I went to Tomamu Resort. My sister brought an extra pair of shoes with her so she lent it to me! They even bought me another pair of fur boots in Sapporo the other day.

We are heading to Tokyo Disneyland Sea! We decided to go to Disney Sea instead of Disneyland because it doesn’t have as many visitors. I think Daddy doesn’t have the patience to queue for anything! Still, we can’t wait to visit Disneyland with my daughter next time.

Look!

There are lots of people going to Disneyland.

But as for Disney Sea…

Yeah! We definitely made the right decision!

Daddy played the "Tower of Terror" twice and said it was so much fun! I’m too old to try it out, so I went to take the submarine with my kid!

I was supposed to meet my dad at Thomasland, but he didn’t show up.  I just shopped instead.

My kid slept while I shopped!

Once we arrived, we had a barbecue lunch at the park.

To save some time, I went to Thomasland with my kid, while Daddy went to ride the roller coaster by himself. We decided to meet up after two hours.

We are heading to Mount Fuji!

We had nice breakfast buffet at hotel but daddy really wanted to try how Natrium bean tastes like! However, he couldn’t swallow it as he thinks the taste is so bad!

(Actually I have told you already, you just didn’t believe me.)

We are now on the way to Hakone but we just stop by and go to the toilet. Daddy bought us some Chinese pork bread and it tastes very nice! The kid chose a bottle of green tea but he thought it is juice. So…I have to finish the drink for him!

The cherry blossoms came a bit early this year, so I thought we have no chance to see cherry blossoms in this trip! But luckily, there are still some in the Peace Memory Park.
