You possibly know Sapporo because of its beer and/or because some matches of the soccer world cup Korea-Japan 2002 took place here, also Sapporo has been host to some winter Olympics and it has one of the best snow festivals of this world…
As I was relatively close to this city (like 3 hours by bus) I felt I had to seize the day and travel there. So I planned the trip with Sabina-San and Deguchi-San and from march 27 to 30th we decided to stay in Sapporo. Here we met Koyuki-san and the travel company was complete…
After staying 1 month in Setana I have to admit that I missed the city and the arrival to Sapporo was very nice, the life style here is not as fast as in Tokyo and you don’t see as much people but still this is a mega city (is the 5th most important of Japan).
The 4 day trip went off very fast but I visited very nice places and I also bought some things needed for the cold Hokkaido winter… I have to thank so much to Deguchi-San because we could stay at her family’s house and, as every Japanese I’ve met until now, they where very very kind people :) Here some photos with Deguchi’s Parents, Deguchi herself and Sabina (from Switzerland)…
In Sapporo we visited a zoo, Hokkaido Jingu (a very famous temple), Sapporo Factory Shopping Center (where they used to make the famous beer), a restaurant where I ate the most delicious ramen until now (and where a drunk guy made a portrait of me…) and some sightseeing with my friends… Some pictures…
Here’s also an improvised video (as all of them) with a view of the plaza in front of the main train station…
The 4 days went off very quickly and at the end we took the bus and I returned to Setana. Here’s a picture I took the afternoon on my way back and another sunset in a different Japanese city…
Now I’m in Hakodate again taking a small 1 week vacation and on April 8th I’ll return to Setana for 5 more days… This excellent and very important period of my life in Setana is coming to an end and then I’ll return to Tokyo from where I will be reporting the situation… Finally a picture with the best ramen I’ve had in my life until now…
Wherever you are… Be happy!! :)
