This beautiful February weekend led us to Sapporo for their annual Snow Festival (Yuki Matsuri). This is one of the biggest things to see in the winter time and there was no way we were going to miss it. We were able to travel with our friends from Tokyo, Kunino and Shizuka.
We took the rest of that day to look at all the beautiful statues of snow.
Pretty huh? Not to mention getting to eat yummy festival food(sausage lollipops)and beer.
The next day we went to the seashore town of Otaru, 30 minutes away and now, one of our favorite tourist spots. This place is really made for travellers. We got to walk through their famous canal, make glass cups, and walk through the incredible illuminations.
The next and final day was quite a relaxing way to end the vacation. Kunino and Shizuka had to leave to catch a 22 hour boat ride (ganbatte yo~) so we had our last meal in Sapporo's finest... THE REPUBLIC OF RAMEN!
We also went to the winter wonderplayland of SATOURANDO. We played in a maze and played mini snow golf.
This was an experience worth happening. We realized that this is the fourth big vacation we've had in the 7 months we've been here. I like those odds. We can't wait for the next one. Possibly... a bike trip from Osaka to Hiroshima. YAY!
