Sapporo 5 Nights 6 Days Trip Day 1

I had to take a taxi because even the first airport bus would be too late, so I arrived at the bus stop by taxi…!

I came to Incheon Airport Terminal 1 for departure with Asiana Airlines.

After checking in my luggage, I headed to the international departure hall!

Since it was early in the morning, there wasn’t much to see in the duty-free shops.

There was something like a LOL & Valorant Store?

It’s a shame I didn’t have time to participate in everything ㅠ

There were also figures and dolls of LOL champions, and I wanted them…

Poro King is so cute lol

Asiana Airlines flight to Sapporo

Asiana Airlines in-flight meals are delicious

It was nice that they served a meal even though it was a short flight to Sapporo.

I didn’t have to eat breakfast lol

Bulgogi rice bowl, morning roll, and pumpkin salad.

They also give you a squeeze-tube of gochujang, which is delicious mixed with rice.

The portion was generous, so I was full.

I couldn’t sleep and was bored, so I set a new Tetris record ㅎㅎ

(My record name was coco220, coco2, if anyone wants to look it up lol)

It was so fun that I was disappointed not to be on Asiana Airlines on my return flight lol

New Chitose Airport

Arrived at New Chitose Airport and headed to the Noboribetsu reservation bus!

After going through immigration and exiting, you’ll see Doraemon right in front of you. Don’t go straight.

Turn right immediately at Doraemon to find the Donan Bus stop.

If you go straight and take the escalator down,

Open the door right in front of you and turn left to Gate 86!

There’s only one bus a day, and I couldn’t find the way… I ran with my luggage.

It was a close call…

I plan to stay at the Oyado Kiyomizuya Hotel.

This is a picture taken after getting off at the Park Hotel stop on the Donan Bus!

The hotel room is traditional, not modern,

Highly recommended if you don’t like noisy places!

I’ll post a detailed review of the accommodation later.

On the way to Jigokudani

There was a place where hot spring steam was coming out.

It was incredibly hot.

It says not to throw coins into that small puddle.

But there were coins lying around…

And it’s a sulfur hot spring, so the smell of egg farts is intense~

Who farted lol

It was too hot, so I looked around Jigokudani briefly and returned to the downtown area.

I was looking at souvenir shops and saw zodiac wooden crafts.

The mouse is cute~ I was looking at it, and it was 660 yen? I’m not buying.

Since the bear ranch and lavender are famous, there were many related products.

I wanted to go to the bear ranch too, but it closed at 5 PM, so I couldn’t go ㅜ

My sister said that Hokkaido milk is really delicious,

so I bought some milk and ice cream.

But it’s really nutty and delicious.

And it’s amazing that I can drink a lot without getting an upset stomach ;;;;

A strange statue where the face changes.

There were a lot of people gathered, so I went to see, and I happened to witness it.

There was a set time for it to change, but I don’t remember the exact time,

but it seemed to happen mostly on the hour?

A restaurant called Onsen Market (Onsen Ichiba) in the downtown area.

My sister ordered salmon donburi,

and I ordered the special kaisendon, which is the most famous dish here.

First of all, the Sapporo Classic is incredibly delicious!

It was so refreshing and good.

If I had ordered the kaisendon with sushi rice instead of plain rice, would it have been okay?

The taste was truly shocking…

Plain rice and seafood…? Strange combination.

I ordered it because it was famous,

but it was the only food I didn’t like on this trip.

The ingredients were very fresh,

but the spices were strong, giving it a lotion-like taste, like cilantro.

It was disappointing that it was the first meal.

I looked around the supermarket and bought some late-night snacks at 7-Eleven.

There was no Lawson nearby, so I got what I could.

I bought some simple desserts.

I washed up in the sulfur hot spring at the hotel,

and my ring had changed color.

It was a metallic color, but it turned black like this lol

The notice did say to be careful with silver products.

But it looks prettier now lol

Unfortunately, the color returned towards the end of the trip.

Dango, squid, milk pudding.

The dango was too soaked in sauce, so it was a bit salty for me.

It tasted like soy sauce, sweet and salty, but it was so addictive that I ate almost all of it.

The pudding was really delicious…
