Day 2 - 6 Jun 15 The Alpine Route - this was the itinerary of the day. We got up as early as 6am and had breakfast at the hotel. The spread was limited but it wasn't too bad. Though at the end it wasn't the very filling kind, it was just sufficient for me to kick off the day. We drove for about an hour to Tateyama station. The drive was quite smooth though it was drizzling a little. When we arrived at Tateyama station, our first mode of transport was the ...

Day 1 - 5 Jun 15 We arrived at Haneda Airport at 7am, after about 7 hours of flight from Singapore.

Emma had her fish roe and uni while I had my large and fat piece of fish with rice. After breakfast, we took a long bus ride of about an hour plus to the Historical Village of Hokkaido. O...

Day 3: We woke up at 7am plus and went out at about 8am. Excited to conquer Sapporo with the limited days we have, we headed towards the Tourist Information Center at the Sapporo station to make enquiries of the recommended places of sightseeing; basically, questions of where to go and how to get to the various designated spots. After gathering all the necessary information, we went to Miyakoshiya cafe, located at the Sapporo station. It turned out that it was...
