Noboribetsu Bus Stop

Waiting for the Donan bus to Sapporo Station from Noboribetsu.

This bus was also booked in advance from Korea.

(The method for booking the Donan bus is in the Day 1 record.)

The bus stop is located just past the Noboribetsu Seven-Eleven and down the road.

The bus arrived almost exactly at the departure time, and I was worried because it wasn’t there until 5 minutes before.

However, a staff member came out right on time to call out people going to Sapporo Station / others.

It was easy to board!

For breakfast, I had a simple snack bought from Seven-Eleven.

(I was considering having breakfast at the hotel,

but it required a reservation in advance, so I couldn’t eat there. Boohoo.)

(That bus is just a local bus, not the Donan bus.)

The waiting room at the bus stop was quite pretty, so I took a picture.

Is this the travel vibe? lol

A refreshing background that looks like it’s from a youth drama!!

Looking out the window, I saw something like an artificial waterfall among the trees!

Encountered a goblin again on the way to Sapporo Station.

It was funny to keep running into people wearing goblin masks while sightseeing in Noboribetsu.

Arrived at Sapporo Station after about an hour and a half to two hours of driving!

Arrived at the Richmond Hotel near Exit 22 of Sapporo Station.

There are two Richmond Hotels in this area: Odori / Sapporo Ekimae.

We are planning to stay for 2 nights at Sapporo Ekimae.

There was a Korean staff member at the front desk when we arrived, which was very convenient.

Since it was too early to check in, we just left our luggage.

Took a photo in front of a vending machine on the way to lunch. ㅎㅎ

Visited Suage4, a famous soup curry restaurant in Miredo shopping mall.

It wasn’t far from the hotel.

It’s Suage4 Miredo Branch, not Suage+!!

However, the restaurants on the first floor, not just Suage, had long lines.

I thought, “They must all be delicious restaurants here…”

We arrived before 11:30 AM for the 11:00 AM opening, and there was already a line.

As expected, it’s a popular restaurant where locals also queue up to eat…

There were definitely many locals.

We waited about 30 minutes before going in.

Melon Soda / Yubari Melon Lassi

I think I last had Melon Soda in high school at Mos Burger in Myeongdong.

It felt like the first time in a long time.

It was delicious even after so long.

Since it’s a curry place, they also had lassi, which was expensive but definitely delicious. lol

We both ordered green curry, and it was absolutely delicious.

Based on a Korean review saying level 5 is less spicy than Shin Ramyun,

my sister ordered level 5, and I ordered level 6.

But I’m glad I ordered level 6; it was perfectly spicy.

I ate level 6 first and then tasted level 5, and they said that was very spicy?

Level 6 was just slightly spicy by the time I finished eating it.

The broth was incredibly addictive.

I understood why many people eat it as a hangover cure.

And for the rice, I recommend the cheese rice.

We got a cup of coffee to go from the Starbucks next door

and headed to Odori Park!

After about a 10-minute walk, we arrived at Odori Park, where we could see the clock tower.

Every time I saw the SAPP_RO sign on the street,

it reminded me of I SEOUL U, which made me laugh. 😂

Hokkaido(?) corn, which has the same species as sweet corn…

It really tastes like sweet corn.

We ordered half grilled and half steamed, and it was really sweet and delicious.

An idol group that just debuted in Hokkaido.

I saw them on the way to Odori Station, and I wondered if it was a debut showcase… I was watching,

but the manager told me they were a newly debuted Hokkaido idol group

and said ‘홍보 좀 해주세요옹~’, their accent and everything made them sound like a Korean master!

The song was surprisingly catchy, and my sister and I kept humming it. lol

On the way to Maruyama Zoo.

We took the Tozai Line subway and got off at Maruyama Koen Station, then walked for about 15 minutes.

Odori Station – Maruyama Koen Station: 210 yen per adult!

The weather was very cool, 20.9 degrees Celsius.

However, the sun was still hot, so a hat or sunglasses are essential.

It was very cool in the shade. ㅎㅎ

But in the sun, you might wonder if it’s really 21 degrees…

We were queuing at the ticket booth, but I quickly bought tickets from the empty kiosk next to it.

Did I over-edit? My pores are completely gone, and I look so smooth. lol

The Japan monkeys are so cute! ㅋㅋ

On the first day, seeing the sulfur hot springs reminded me of the game Mabinogi,

and seeing the Japan monkeys reminded me of it again. ㅋㅋ They look like sulfur monkeys.

I have videos, but I’m too lazy to edit them, so I’ll skip. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

The red pandas are incredibly tiny and cute.

I walked so much and got tired.

I was so glad I could sit on the train.

The trains here always seem to be spacious.

But why does my sister’s eyes look so alive…?

We returned to the hotel and checked in.

Unlike the Noboribetsu hotel, this one requires prepayment.

You get your room assignment and key card at the front desk,

and then you pay in advance using your key card at the kiosk next to the elevator.

We decided to rest for a bit before going out because we were so tired.

We came to Ramu, a yakiniku specialty restaurant famous for its lamb dishes in Sapporo.

It’s a popular spot among Koreans, but there were quite a few locals too.

It’s located in Susukino, about a 20-30 minute walk from our accommodation,

so we took a bus or subway to get there…

The zoo was too exhausting. ㅎ

We arrived around 6:40 PM after resting.

We got a number and waited for about 40 minutes before going in.

There was a building across the street with police tape around it…

What was that about?

That area looked like a red-light district… 🤔

It’s a small restaurant with only two tables and a few counter seats.

We were lucky to get a spacious table seat.

Since it’s a popular restaurant, they informed us that there’s a 1-hour dining limit.

It was really delicious.

Lamb shoulder loin 1 / Lamb 1 / Lamb chop 1 / Mutton 1

And onion 1, bean sprouts 1, rice 1

(Beer is always consumed, so it’s omitted. lol)

The lamb chops were the most delicious. ㅎㅎ

I looked up “mutton” on a translator, and it means adult sheep, not young ones.

So it was mostly lean meat. You can eat according to your preference!

I ordered it because I didn’t know what it was, and it was delicious.

For reference, the meat portions aren’t very large, so you’ll need to order quite a bit to feel full.

Fortunately, my sister and I don’t have huge appetites, so the bill wasn’t too high.

For a typical pair, it would likely cost over 7,000 yen.

After eating, we visited Round1, known for its crane games and arcade games, to help digest.

The crane game shops in Japan seem to be on another level…

I was lucky and got a Kirby plush in 2 tries. ㅎㅎ (1,800 won! ㅎ!!!)

I guess I had beginner’s luck today; it was a very lucky day.

I also played a round of Super Mario Kart and then headed back to our accommodation.

How can an arcade have 4 floors?

As someone who never plays crane games, it was a surprisingly satisfying visit.

The Nika statue on the Susukino street.

If Osaka has the Glico Man, then Sapporo has the Nika statue.

We walked back to our accommodation.

Because we were full. ㅎ

We stopped by Lawson on the way and bought some snacks~

They were even more delicious than the dango I ate the day before!

Is Lawson really that good?
