^ Our snack & drink for our long distance trip on train! 

All my friends knew me well should know that basically when I travel on a transport (not on the sea), I can just knock off anytime. 

But on the nite train I couldn't sleep, neither the bed type nor chair type! Dont know why! I couldn't sleep well for the 6hours+ from Sapporo to Aomori.(reached at 5.40am next morning) Only after we transit from Aomori to Hanchinohe, I can fall asleep. Dont ever know that I was too tired or the nite train that kill my sleep.  

^ Finally our last transit from Tokyo东京 to Shin-Kobe 新神户. 

^ Mos Burger! Our quick lunch after we reached Shin-Kobe 新神户.


^ Nankin-Machi (Chinatown in Shin-Kobe)

零九 日本 / 香港之旅! (七)

28/29May, Thu/Fri - Japan, Sapporo (札幌) - Aomori (青森) - Hachinohe (八户) - Tokyo (东京) - Shin-Kobe (新神户)

^ My breakfast! 

Check out at 10am morning, leave our bag at the hotel cos our train will be at 10pm tonite. Today is our last min shopping before leaving Sapporo! We will be spending our nite on the train and do 3 transit at Aomori 青森 (reached early next morning, 6hrs+ from Sapporo),

Hachinohe 八户 (1hr+ from Aomori) and Tokyo 东京 (3hrs+ from Hachinohe) before we reach Shin-Kobe 新神户(3hrs+ from Tokyo). By the time we reached Shin-Kobe 新神户, it will be at noon! What a busy & tiring day!

^ Sapporo Tower. 


^ It's crab time!


^ Crab for lunch!

^ 拉面街@札幌! It a tiny narrow street! 

^ Try one in one of the shop called 满龙! Shop was very small, ard 10 seats facing the open kitchen. 1st time saw how 拉面 was cooked. I order a 叉烧拉面, 酱青汤底! I find it abit salty and the process took some time. The chef have to stir-fry the beanspouts, put the noodle into hot soup, put seaweed, onions & meat onto the noodle when it done! 780Yen for this.


^ PepperLunch in Japan! The use vending machine for ordering. Our dinner before we board the train at 10pm nite.

27May, Wed - Japan, Sapporo (札幌) - Kushiro (釧路) 

^ Today breakfast from Toyoko Inn Sapporo.


^ Took train from Sapporo 札幌 to Kushiro 釧路 (4hr) early morning. Never being there, went to explore! (Kushiro is a well known fishing port and it Marsh Land National Park is the largest marsh land in Japan)

If you dont have time for some nature exploring, save your trip cos the travelling time really far. The best is to stay for a nite. What we did was really tiring, travel from Sapporo to and fro, took us 8hrs already! 我们这次真的失策了! We only manage to go to the Nusamai Bridge 幣舞橋! 

^ A church just beside the train station.


^ A quick lunch cos the shop closing for the noon break at 2pm & the time we walk in is already 2pm!


^ Took a cab to the Nusamai Bridge 幣舞橋 as we thought it might be too far from the train station. This little town is colder than Sapporo, 10degree & windy! Lucky I brought a jacket in Sapporo, if not 我会变成一只冰棒!

^ The view from the Nusamai Bridge and the statue of the 4 seasons - 春秋秋冬!

^ We took a walk back to the train station. Lucky it was not so windy! The area near the train station is quiet, not much shop open for business, not much people & car roaming on street but the place is nice looking. (2nd pic: It's a bus stop)

^ Drink for today!

^ Dinner time!

26May, Tue - Japan, Sapporo (札幌) - Furano (富良野) 

^ My free breakfast for this morning from Toyoko Inn Sapporo.


^ This is the place we visit almost everyday, to reserve our seat on train.


^ Lotteria for lunch! My favourite shrimp burger and the newest release fried potato. Super cute when it serve in a box!

^ Set off to Furano 富良野 today. As no direct train to Furano, we have travel to Asahikawa 旭川 (1hr+), transit to Naka-Furano 中富良野 (1hr+) then walk Farm Tomita for about 20mins. 

^ Lavender ice cream! I find it nicer now than the last time I have it!

^ The train we took have this on every seat. (Hope my train from Sapporo back

to Tokyo have it, so I can watch my movie the whole nite long!)

^ The green tea for day!

^ 很贴心. Found these little notepad with pen on top of almost every public phone

at the Asahikawa Station. So thoughtful! 

^ Dinner for today after we got back to Sapporo. I eat more here than back home.

Must be the extra walking that burn it faster!

25May, Mon - Japan, Hakodate (函馆) - Sapporo (札幌)
