Richmond Hotel Ekimae Breakfast
Richmond Hotel Ekimae Breakfast

The morning of Day 3 was Richmond Hotel breakfast!

Except for the first day, breakfast was included every day ㅎㅎ

If you go to the right of the 1st-floor front desk, there’s a door, and you’ll see the restaurant inside.

You can choose one item from the menu there to eat.

It was also posted on the elevator, so I chose it in advance!

When you finish your meal, flip over the sign/laminated paper before leaving.

The drinks were self-serve.

I think it was water, milk, grapefruit juice, apple juice, and orange juice.

There were also tea and coffee!

My sister had the toast set, and I had the Japanese set.

(Unfortunately, the kids’ set wasn’t available ㅜ

I couldn’t understand if it was because I’m not a child or if they were out of stock.)

The side dishes… were all too salty for me ㅠㅠ

I decided to eat bread the next day…

The salmon, salmon sashimi, and pickled radish were edible.

(Surprisingly, the salmon sashimi wasn’t salty at all.)

We had to meet at Sapporo station around 8:30 AM!

I arrived a little early but couldn’t find anyone, so I wandered around for a while.

Then I spotted a guide wearing a Hokkaido Lab (Biei Tour) uniform!

(I knew they were wearing a uniform, but I still had trouble seeing them…)

I checked my name off the list and boarded the bus!

Since most express buses are from similar companies,

they told us to be sure to remember the bus number ★★★

Furano

It took about 2 hours to get to 후라노.

The scenery outside was like a field of green barley, refreshing and with a nice rural feel.

We arrived at 후라노 Marche around 10:30 AM. Did I not take a picture?

It seemed like just a supermarket (probably a rest stop feel), so I passed by.

But it seems they sell items only at Marche.

The butter potatoes were delicious and vacuum-sealed in processed food packaging,

so the guide recommended them as souvenirs ㅋㅋ

But I was worried about my bag getting heavy, so I didn’t buy them and asked if I could buy them elsewhere.

They said yes, but they weren’t sure if it was the same variety/product (I ended up not buying themㅋ).

Masaya

When we arrived at 후라노, it was time for an early lunch.

(About 2 hours from Sapporo station)

Among the many recommended restaurants, we went to a teppanyaki place called Masaya.

We arrived a little before the 11 AM opening time and thought we’d look around first~

But when we arrived 10 minutes before opening, a line had already formed… ㄷㄷ

Still, there were quite a few tables, so we were able to get in right away.

Masaya
Masaya

The key to opening early is to order quickly!!!!

We ordered almost as soon as we sat down to avoid waiting.

And they gave us salad and milk as a complimentary service!

It was a very mini-sized milk, only one bottle,

so I ordered a melon soda additionally.

Omurice was delicious.

I had the Omurice, which is curry with an omelet on top.

My sister ordered the stir-fried noodles, what was it called? Yakisoba?

But this place’s signature dish seems to be Omurice,

because when we were sitting at the teppanyaki counter watching them cook,

they were making Omurice continuously ㅋㅋ

But it was so delicious, the eggs were incredibly soft…

Of course, the yakisoba was also incredibly delicious.

All the food on this trip has been a success, so I’m so happy.

Even though it’s only Day 3, I plan to say this for all 6 days ㅋ

(My eyes are tired, my camera is tired 😔)

Four Seasons Hill

We arrived at Four Seasons Hill!

The guide went ahead and bought the tickets for us.

They were selling various snacks in the entrance building,

but we decided to buy the Pure White (white corn), which is only available here, on our way out!

And since the area is about 45,000 pyeong (approximately 150,000 sq meters),

we decided to take the tractor bus to get around.

It was about 500 yen per person!

I’m so glad we took the tractor bus.

It was a bit hot (the bus), but the breeze was nice, and it was comfortable ㅋ

After riding around once, we got off and had some lavender ice cream (my sister has the pictureㅋ).

It was light purple ice cream with a strong lavender scent.

It didn’t taste like flowers or anything strange; it was delicious!

Four Seasons Hill

We took pictures in the flower fields that I wanted to see again on foot!

The lavender is amazing, so beautiful~~

There was also a very deep purple flower that was pretty, which turned out to be Salvia.

I guess I like Salvia…?

The weather was so cloudy that I only color-corrected the lavender photos (too lazy 🙄)

Even after correcting them, can the sky really be that different!?!!

It’s so beautiful…

Shirahige Falls
Shirahige Falls

Our next destination was Shirahige Falls!

We could see it from a high vantage point, and it was truly a spectacular sight…

It was amazing how the water could be so blue.

And the sun was so hot that it was incredibly difficult to open my eyes while taking pictures;;

If I look like I’m squinting, that’s correct ㅋ

Shirahige Falls

The stream on the opposite side of the waterfall was also incredibly clear and beautiful.

It seemed like nothing special, but everything was pretty ㅋ

Is it the travel effect?

Blue Pond

Blue Pond

Blue Pond, which is about a 5-minute drive from Shirahige Falls.

The water contains aluminum hydroxide and other mineral components, which makes it this blue.

And the straight birch trees gave it a majestic feel.

It felt a bit eerie.

I took pictures here too, but my sister hasn’t sent them to me yet, so I don’t have them ㅋ

I wondered if there was a place like this in Korea!

But it was artificially created in Japan to prevent damage from active volcanoes.

Patchwork Road
Patchwork Road

This place is 삿포로.

It wasn’t too far from Blue Pond either.

The sun was very hot, but there were also many clouds, so it wasn’t too hot.

The weather was just right and cool. As soon as you get off the bus, you’ll exclaim “Ah, it’s cool!”

The oak tree in the second picture is the Seven Star Tree.

The reason it’s called Seven Star is because it was on the package of a tourist cigarette called Seven Star, blah blah…

Patchwork Road

This is the adjacent Mild Seven Hill.

This one is also from that cigarette…

When you arrive, you might think, “Huh? Isn’t this just a roadside?” “Is this what we came to see?”

That thought might cross your mind for a moment,

but the photos turn out amazing ㅎ

Farm Tomita

A bite of melon ice cream at Farm Tomita.

The feeling was similar to Four Seasons Hill with the Salvia and such,

so it wasn’t a huge impression, but there were some objects good for taking pictures,

so I took more photos 찰칵 찰칵~

Farm Tomita

First personal spending at Japan!

I bought a handkerchief and a lavender soap set, following my sister’s lead ㅎ

But honestly, that was the only thing worth buying ㅋ

The spray air freshener also smelled good, but I passed on the liquid because it’s troublesome.

Stellar Place
Ippin

After finishing the last itinerary, we drove for another 2 hours back to Sapporo station.

It was such a fulfilling day! I realized how convenient and great guided tours are ㅎ

But first, I’m so hungry.

We went to Stellar Place at Sapporo station for Butadon?

We came to Ippin, which is famous for it.

We arrived a bit late, around 7:30 PM, but there was still a wait!

Still, we didn’t wait for an hour.

Ippin
Ippin
Ippin

It’s a famous restaurant for Koreans, with good Korean language guidance.

Both of us ordered the basic Butadon.

It was great that we could adjust the portion size of the meat and rice individually.

It would be great if other restaurants had this option too.

I tried Butadon for the first time here, and it was incredibly delicious;;;;

(Breathe)

After eating all the meat, we sprinkled the spicy furikake from the table onto the remaining rice.

The rice was already slightly seasoned, so it was delicious even if eaten plain ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It wasn’t a small portion, but I ate every single grain of rice.

Except for Kaisen-don, it’s so regrettable and sad that we can’t try the food we ate again because of the itinerary.

There are still so many foods to try~
