180714 Daisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido

Daisetsuzan - It is still active when we can see smoke coming out of the mountain. Low clouds surrounding the mountain. The view is breathtaking. We were lucky that when we hiked to the top, the clouds has moved away and the clear view awaits us. If you love to see mountain, you should visit here, by taking a bus from Asahikawa.

The lakes were frozen. Due to its thick fog (or clouds?), we cannot see much. Still it is nice to have such a cool weather in summer.
This is what we see on the way up the ropeway. Cannot see anything as the fog is so thick. 

Frozen rivers and it is so beautiful. 

Saw volunteers helping to clear the tracks like laying the rocks properly etc while I hiked. This made me appreciate the place more. Volunteers made an effort to place planks of wood from crate boxes to provide walk way for hikers when the road is down with puddles of water. It really helped.
The ropeway station, when it is cleared from thick fog.
Bus fare 1430 per way. We took the 7.40am bus and manged to take the 12pm bus back.
Ropeway ticket : 2900 
How to get there -
From Asahikawa station, take bus from Bus stop 9. We purchase the bus ticket from a self dispensing machine in Lawson Mart. We can also buy the ticket from the bus itself. We just has to collect the ticket from the machine, then present this ticket with payment to the driver when we alight. Basically, we board the bus from the door behind and alight from the door in front.

180713 ANA Airline

The clouds above Japan after we take off Narita Airport towards Hokkaido. Another near to 2 hours flight. Our flight starts at 00.35am and reach Tokyo 8.35am. ANA definately won me over with their in flight meals. They packs snacks in a, goodie bag. Knowing that most passengers would be asleep, the flight stewardess would hand it infront of your seat. For breakfast, they really serve breakfast like pancakes with rasberry compote. So Yummy. For domestic flight, no food served. But was surprised they still serve beverages. Spotted the crater while on the way to Hokkaido. Hokkaido is located at the North of Japan with no direct flight from Singapore by ANA. To reach Hokkaido, we need to take a domestic flight to Hokkaido from Tokyo. This is how our trip goes. SIN to Tokyo - Depart Sin at 00:35, reach Tokyo 9:05. At Narita airport, we need to claim our baggage and go throught immigration checks. Just like we just entered Japan. Our next flight is at 10:00. Lucky, immigration...
