We stayed here for 1 night as part of our road trip. The spacious Japanese-style rooms. At the cleanliness - everywhere there was nothing to fault.
The onsen is good with indoor and outdoor, remember to book the buffet dinner together, or else can hv a ala carte dinner at one of their restaurants
Staffs are very kind and friendly. Buffet is good. Hot spa is great.
Highly recommended !!

Great location. Very convenient and easy transfer to/from the Narita airport.
We stayed here for one night. The room was small, but fully equipped one needs. The morning breakfast good value, in small amount but tasty. Recommended.

Tanukikoji Shopping Street
#2023travelwish
Tanukikoji Shopping Street in Sapporo is the best place to have vibe. After we visited Odori Koen, we went to Tanukikoji which is just 650 meter away from the park.
A very lively shopping alley, where tradition meet modern culture. One of the oldest shopping streets in Hokkaido features new and old shops. It is a long shopping street in Sapporo with approximately 200 shops. It is a popular tourist spot and a great place to shop for souvenirs. The street is not too crowded so the overall shopping experience was pleasant.

菊膳 (きくぜん)
#2023travelwish
High-quality meat, grilled with stone.
I personally feel that the price is reasonable considering the quality of this meat.
Stone-grilled meat that you can't taste at other restaurants. The meat was delicious and the staff was very friendly, so we had a great time.
May this new year take everyone to places that never been before.

Odori Park
#2023travelwish
Odori Park (大通公園, Ōdōri Kōen) is a park located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Ōdōri (大通) means "large street" in Japanese. I took some pictures around the TV Tower. It feels good to take a walk! When the weather is nice, it's a place where you can take a rest.
I wish I can come back again to Hokkaido in year 2023.

LeTAO Main Store
#2023travelwish
Nice little cafe near the Otaru river.
This is the main store where LeTao’s story all started. Le TAO stand for La Tour Amitie Otaru.
We had our afternoon tea in the cafe located on the 2nd floor because it serves a variety of cakes exclusive to this store or Hokkaido only.
Staff were very friendly and gave us recommendations on what to order. The cake 🍰 and tea ☕ were delicious.
Must visit if you are in Otaru.

Sumibiyakiniku FŪGA
#2023travelwish
We went for the first time with 3 friends. The freshness of the meat is excellent! The taste more than the price, and the shop is wonderful. Even though it is charcoal grilled, almost no smoke is ventilated.

Anpanman Shop
#2023travelwish
Anpanman heaven! There are many fountains and Anpanman stone statues near the entrance, making it a good photo spot. Even if you don't like Anpanman , you'll still be soaked in the merchandise.
Selling lots of souvenirs from toys to food, you name it. Uptairs is book shop and photo gallery and they have children playground downstairs just below the staircase.

Furano Cheese Factory
#2023travelwish
We did not join the cheese-making workshop or others but we had a wonderful time shopping/eating their dairy products. The freshly bottled milk is very naturally sweet and creamy and is a must try in my opinion!

Otaru Steam Clock
#2023travelwish
This steam clock is right in front of Otaru Music Box Museum. It will play a short song every 15 minutes. Pretty cool to watch the clock play music using steam. The steam clock is a gift from Vancouver, Canada, that has the same type of clock in Gas Town. Don’t miss it!

Bakudan Yaki Honpo
#2023travelwish
Bakudan-yaki is like a larger version of takoyaki (about three times the size), and the texture is similar to rolled okonomiyaki. It is bigger than the size of a tennis ball.
Fully-loaded with cabbage, mushroom, corn, bacon bits and one bite-size piece of octopus, the gigantic bomb is covered with toppings of your choice. Be sure to look out for them when you are in Otaru. I ate it for the first time, but it was very delicious!

Popura farm Furano Melon ice
#2023travelwish
Melon ice cream was amazing! The vanilla one was pretty good at well. Eating the sweet melon in the end just added to this amazing dessert. The interior is very unique and aesthetically pleasing. We left here a happy bunch.

Sojibo Kansai International Airport
#celebratewithtrip
We need a quick meal before boarding, this is the place to be. The attraction was the fresh wasabi. This restaurant serves Soba with a freshly grounded wasabi. We have to grind the wasabi ourselves on a small grinder. Something fun to play with. The price is affordable, the food is good and plenty, great service. It serves 100% halal Japanese food.

Shiroikoibito Park

A place for chocolate and sweets lovers! Located in Sapporo (Hokkaido).Definitely worth a visit!

The Gulliver town has miniature houses and shops which allow kids to explore. There is also sweets workshop for adults to experience the fun of making sweets.
A highly recommended place for a fun day!

Seafood Buffet NANDA
#celebratewithtrip
Must come if you are in Sapporo, loved the variety of meat & crabs. They keep it frozen from the ocean so they are fresh. This place offers an extensive variety of crabs (namely snow, hair, hanasaki and king crabs and others), shellfish, sushi, sashimi, good quality red meat and poultry, deserts and alcohol. The fees are based on the time you wished to spend eating. Came with a group of friends. It was a good fun.

Great Stay in Nikko Hotel
#celebratewithtrip
We are very satisfied with Nikko hotel , it is really convenient, arrived in airport using Rapid train from city , it is just 3min walk to hotel. So very much convenient if you make an early morning departure from airport or arrive late in the evening for overnight stay.

Strolling along Lake Toya
#celebratewithtrip
Lake Toya was born more than 110,000 years ago following a huge volcanic eruption. We took our time for a relaxing long stroll along the lake. There are a lot of very nice modern sculptures along the way.
Lake Toya (洞爺湖) is one of the best hot spring towns in Japan for budget travelers. The combination of many free hot spring facilities, cheap bus routes and some super cheap accommodation makes the place stand out from the others.

We randomly stopped by this gelato shop when we drove on the way back to Lake Toya. The gelato is super nice.
I recommend this place if you have a chance to visit Hokkaido area especially Toya to enjoy the amazing beautiful scenery while eat some tasty Gelato Ice Cream. There are many kinds of various flavors Ice cream. So you can choose it whatever flavors what you wanted. In the season you can view many different Hokkaido flowers.

The Hakodate morning fresh market sells fresh and dried seafood. There was also an activity that they caught a living squid, and a chef prepared it and eat it sashimi style immediately. We can see the squid still moving. One of a must place when you come to Hakodate. We enjoyed our breakfast here.
