Hokkaido Trip: Day 1.

Annyeong!

I am so excited that I am back from Hokkaido!  It is a really, really beautiful place that I am so going there for the years that come in my life.  We followed Apple Holiday Tour so I can’t provide any help in transportation, not even entrance fee.  It is my first travel without any hassle! *LOL*

I am going to share some pictures at some locations as they are just too beautiful to not share.

Chitose Airport 千岁机场

Doraemon!

Just outside the airport I saw a tiny hill of snow. Hehehe.. So rare for someone who lives in a tropical country.

Accumulation of snow.  Not the white snow as I imagined. Kekekeke…

Then we headed to Mount Usu.

Just a random shot and it is so beautiful already.

Bear Ranch! The bears are so cute and smart like the dogs that we used to see! OMG!

After visiting the Bear ranch we took a ropeway to the top of Mount Usu 有珠山.

From Mount Usu.  That is Lake Toya.

Then, we headed down to Lake Toya.  Lake Toya is a lake that never freezes.  Strong wind was howling it was crazily cold.  But I couldn’t stop taking photos.  It is way too amazing.

Enjoying the view by the lakeside.  The ever beautiful Lake Toya.

Some kind of berry?

Then we headed to Hakodate and went up the Mountain with a cable car.  Too crowded and too cold.  But still, managed to snap this shot! So beautiful night view! At 5pm! So early.

Hakodate night view.  The top 3 best night views in the world.

Mom and I in Yukata.

Then, we headed back to Hotel.  We had a really nice stay there.  It was an Onsen Ryokan and hence I managed to experience public bath and hot spring!  All naked.  But so comfortable especially during cold days!

My gifts and souvenirs are still in a huge mess. 😦 Forgive me for the very short and instant post!

Annyeong!

Til I blog again.

Love,

Yanni.
