180719 Hokkaido Historical Village

Hokkaido Historical Village - To reach there, we need to first take a train to Sapporo Shin Station. From there we take a bus directly to Hokkaido Historical Village. It is not a long journey. So it is only worth going there if you like to see old building.
Most of the buildings were donated. So you can imagine how they move them here.
Building from the past being moved here for display
A big compound

An old Photo Studio

Happy to find apple tree here.
There are many other buildings to see and you can spend a entire day here.

How to get there
From Sapporo Station, take a train to Shin Sapporo station - 260yen
From Shin Sapporo Station, take a bus to Hokkaido Historical Village - 210 yen. (You can check with Japan Tourist information for the bus number)
We paid 800yen each for the entrance ticket

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...

180717 Otaru, Yoichi

Otaru - What you see here is what it is there. The short canal is the so call picture-some place. I guess people visit there for the history? For me, this is so touristy. Food are extremely expensive. We ended up having our snacks at the convenient stall. Otaru is easily accessible via Train from Sapporo Station. We spent less than 30 mins here and proceed to Yoichi after this. Yoichi Nikka Distillery Decided to travel from Otaru in less than 1 hour visit and take a train to Yoichi via Train. Our plan is to visit Yoichi Nikka Distillery and have sashimi at one of the fish shop recommended by Google Map. This is truly a unforgettable trip and would recommend anyone traveling to Hokkaido.  The whole compound is European like. They have a gallery where we can view a film about the founder whom is Japanese and married a English wife and how they met, how he went to Scotland to upgrade his distillery skills etc..I fell in love with this place immediately when we step in. ...
