Food Section When you go overseas, you can't resist hoarding loads of goodies back especially snacks and local produce. We bought these from the omiyage shop at Tanukikoji shopping arcade, Sapporo. 1. Tokibi Corn Chocolate http://www.hori-group.jp/hori/shop/list/1_6/Photo extracted from official site. ...
This is what we bought on the first day from the drugstores at Tanukikoji shopping arcade. This is only the first day! We have done our homework so we got some ideas what to buy. Personally, I felt you really need to do the homework unless you could read Japanese. Even though you could read, you might not have the time to study...
Our flight back is 1330 and we need to reach the airport 2 and half hour before for check in. The hotel is not far from the airport. So free and leisure in the morning until transfer to Narita airport. No group check-in, so everyone had to queue up. I think most of our tour members have exceeded the weight limit. Our luggage...

Hokkaido~DAY5 Natural Formation of Noboribetsu 登别市
By Happy452 - Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Today breakfast is a bit special. Breakfast in set at the Yumoto Noboribetsu Hotel where we had our dinner last night. Of course no yukata this morning but still need to sit on the tatami floor. Hell Valley (JIGOKUDANI) 地獄谷 is our first sightseeing spot today. Very near to the hot spring town. Cloud of steams and volcanic gas coming out from the...
Today is to visit the lavender farm, our main title of this trip. From the hotel it took about 1 and half hour to reach Furano 富良野~~Farm Tomita. Coincidently the Japanese are having some kind of celebration event and the traffic is real slow. Finally most of the members gave up sitting inside the bus and took a stroll to the Farm instead....
Morning call at 0630 which is 0530 Malaysia time! …Do we have to wake up so early, aren’t we on holiday….how come much early than working day! Sob…sob..we have our buffet breakfast at the hotel. Too early for my stomach to have breakfast la. In Japan, you take a tray and put empty plate(s) or bowl(s) with cutleries first, then proceed to the...
Arrival hall of Narita Airport Hurray, we finally reached Narita airport 成田国际机场 on time. There was a minor hiccup at the immigration check point as our pretty tour leader led us to the wrong queue which was for Japanese and Japan PR only. No wonder not even a single foreigner at the queue except us. Well, she apologized later and apparently this is...
Finally the day had arrived. Well, I’m still working in the morning and only take the afternoon off. The flight is 2330 hours and the assemble time is 2130 hours at KLIA. We reached KLIA about 45 minutes earlier from the assemble time and yet the tour leader is already there… waiting. wah la, we thought we are the first…..how early did she...
July is a peak season in Hokkaido and hard to get seat for domestic flight. According to our tour guide, they couldn’t secure seats to Hakodate and have to reschedule the itinerary. We will touch down in Chitose instead. This means our travel plan will be from west to east against the original plan from east to west. DAY 1 KLIA --> Narita...
While counting down, the tour leader called and sending out the final confirmation list and some important information. Yahoo weather forecast had reported raining for the whole time we will be in Hokkaido. What! Can I change to another date… So don’t forget the umbrella. (If you forget to bring, don't worry. The Japan tour bus is good, they always have spare umbrellas...
