“When I go there in the end of January, it is nice weather so that I could go by my Honda fit which is not 4WD but no problem at all, very lucky day I guess. All the lake's serface was iced so I could walk on it. 30-40min to Taushubetsu bridge by walk, which is a mysterious object on the lake. In the winter, because of lake's short water, the bridge seams to be emarged on the lake only in the winter.”

“is approximately 1km from memanbetsu station, actually just a field with planted trees with no intention of being popular, but very instagrammable, there is a short stop for cars to pull over to take photos. Entering people's fields is of course prohibited. I took the photo in December- early snowfall. my hands really hurt but the blue sky and white fields were very beautiful. just wish there were seats to enjoy it like a bus stop.”

“I am satisfied that I can see Mt. Rishiri clearly from the bath. I feel like I'm putting a lot of effort into cooking. Especially the breakfast ingredients were plentiful. However, it cannot compete with the guesthouses run by fishermen.”

“I visited without a reservation knowing that it was a very popular restaurant. We arrived early to catch the opening, but there were about 4 groups of people already waiting. In addition, more and more cars were entering the parking lot. I tried lining up anyway. When the store opens, the store clerk calls customers who have made reservations and enters the store in turn. We didn't have a reservation, but we managed to slip in. I will definitely make a reservation next time! Now, as for the meal, it seems to consist of rice porridge and several types of side dishes. There seem to be three types of soup stock to choose from, and I went for the simple chicken stock, and my friend went for the shrimp stock. Furthermore, you can choose from about 5 different ingredients for each dish, and enjoy the toppings as well. I was really at a loss, so I decided to make a simple pork and mushroom porridge. You can also choose from a wide variety of drinks. This is a roasted green tea latte. It really confuses me. I want to eat them all. The taste is so gentle that it gradually permeates your body. Of course it's good to have on a daily basis, but I think it's a dish you'll want when you're feeling weak or on a cold day. I thought that rice porridge wouldn't be enough, but that wasn't the case. That alone was enough to satisfy me, and when I decided to eat dessert, I felt like I could easily eat it. It became my favorite shop and I immediately followed it on Instagram and found out that they also have sweet potato pudding. As a sweet potato lover, I have to try it.”

“No stop in Japan is complete without riding a Ferris wheel in the city. Yea as corny as it sounds, it is actually fun and like a right of passage. This Ferris wheel is located in the 7th floor of the building and offers a good view of the city. The view of the mountains I found better than looking at the city. Though I did come during the day time and the night view may be better. The price is inexpensive.”

“Interesting exhibitions. The volunteer staff in the coffee shop made it for me though. No English spoken but we still managed to have a good laugh. Wonderful people.”

“The hall is near Sapporo Factory and not far from Sapporo Station. It's not a live house, it's just a small hall... The capacity is about 300 people. It's not a place where I particularly worry about noise, so I wish the sound was a little louder, but if you think of it as a hall, it might be something like this. The lighting is good and you can see some great stage acts. The seats on the second floor protrude, so the visibility is a bit narrow for those at the back of the first floor. However, it is a valuable place where you can enjoy live music in Sapporo. It's a fun place.”

“Magnificent old stone monument to the Tokugawa Shogunate warriors who died during the Hakodate war. The monument is nestled in a beautifully lush forest and the path through the forest is lined with wild flowers in the spring. Definitely worth the short walk through the forest to get there.”
