Haneda airport to Chitose - Lake Toya / Noboribetsu

Took the JAL domestic flight to Hokkaido and met up for our SA land tour. It's real coincidence that we met Jerin and her family for our Hokkaido land tour!

We went to Ainu village to catch a glimpse of the aborigines of Hokkaido and went to Lake Toya area.. At night, we watched the fireworks at our hotel and our 1st onsen (hot spring bath).. Shiok!

Lake Toya - Asahikawa

Went for Cherry Picking and Strawberry picking! We covered the Jigokudani (hell valley), Mt Showa and Bear Ranch.. went for HOKKAIDO KING crab! Had the legs raw with wasabi and the hotpot soup was sweet... had hairy crab too.. the Hokkaido King crab taste sweeter than the hairy crab! though kk still prefers Singapore chilli crab .. hahah... and in the evening we went to Asahikawa Shopping Street (2nd largest city Hokkaido)..

Asahikawa - Sounkyo

We went to Otokoyama Sake Brewing Museum..we tried the Sake and bought some home, went to cheese and wine factory..Went to Furano Tomita Farm..the place i look forward most..LAVENDER fields.. I am especially excited to see the flowers!

For lunch, KK had his Japanese beef! These cows drank sake, had massages weekly, listen to classical music.. LOL...We had the most expensive one available coz kk dun wish to have regrets after the trip.. it's AA rated! cost around $150 each piece. the beef's nice but kk think the beef dun worth so much.. LOL..

Had another round of Onsen (hot spring)... this time.. kk prefers the hot spring more!

Sounkyo -Otaru- Sapporo

We went to Otaru where we saw Otaru Music Box Museum then we proceed to "Shooting Stars" and "Milky Way" the 2 waterfalls in Hokkaido.. In the evening, we went to Odori Park for Shopping! Finally kk managed to help Ms Wu buy the rock melon syrup there..it's a tough search.. for mi, i also bought souvenirs..Went to Shopping mall at Odori Park to buy blue label.. haha.. and Samantha Thavasa at near JR tower to buy something.

Sapporo

Went to buy souvenirs and food (tonnes.. love the Ishiya chocolate and potato farm) hahaha.. and The Chocolate Factory...The Ishiya Chocolate factory is pretty! we watched the garden show at 2pm and had chocolate factory. Went to the Old Hokkaido Government Building and then to Rera Chitose Outlet Mall...

Our last 2 days in Tokyo is for Shopping.. be it actual shopping or window shopping, 2 days is not enuff for Tokyo Shopping.. In the morning, we went for ramen at Shinjuku (near our hotel).. It's the BEST ramen we had eaten..we went to Akihabara for electronics and gadgets, Maid Cafe (hee..)

At night time, we went to Tokyo Tower.. it's beautiful! Many of the Japanese ladies wear traditional Jap wear to visit the tower.. we went to both main observatory and special observatory to catch the bird eye view of Tokyo..

The last day in Tokyo City.. we have Rakuten (recommended by hotel) western food.. it's value for money and taste delicious.. i love the special bread especially! The restaurant is nicely decorated with bears and other designs.. We shopped at Takashimaya and bought blue label bag for myself and helped Avril bought her card holder finally!

6 Jul 2010 (Tue)
Tsukiji, Asakusa, Odaiba


Free and easy definitely made both of us too relaxed and woke up later.. haha.. we woke up at around 9am. Knowing that we are not going to the fish market sale (where we need to wake up at 4am).. we intend to go to the Tsukiji fish market for sushi (fresh cuts from fish market). Apparently we went to "Sushi Da" and Q for 2.5 hours under the hot sun for the sushi.. The Sushi is definitely Oishii but the Q is too too long.. we finally start our sushi brunch at 1 plus..We took a 2500 yen (7 pieces + roll + soup) and 3900 yen (10 pieces + roll+ soup) sushi set.. the 3900 yen is at chef's recommendation and discretion where we can choose 1 of our own choice and of coz we chose the fatty tuna! LOL..


After the sushi, we went to Asakusa for temple visiting.. and took the HIMIKO from Asakusa to Odaiba park.. The HIMIKO is cool manz.. it's a futuristic ship.. we enjoyed the airconditioned cruise ride under the hot weather! At the Odaiba park, the Toyota Showroom really surprised us.. we had a ride on an automatic Toyota car around the premise and kk really enjoyed "examining" the various car model..

FINALLY our HONEYMOON!

Our long awaited honeymoon..

JAPAN TOKYO, HOKKAIDO

DAYS IN TOKYO...

3 Jul to 4 Jul 2010 (Sun)
Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku


After our night flight with JAL, 4 Jul morning begins with Narita Express. We went to Hotel Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku and place our luggage with the hotel counter and off we went to shop in Harajuku and Shibuya.. I like the hotel location alot coz it's just 3 min walk to Shinjuku shopping area and train station. It's a Sunday so we went to Harajuku as it's a place with trendy young Japanese and happening! We also went to Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi park.. Since it's our 1st day in Tokyo.. we decided to save more another day.. =)

DisneySea!


No regrets at all choosing DisneySea over Disneyland.. though i am not sure abt Disneyland.. but DisneySea definitely excites us! LOL.. especially Tower of Terror and the 360 degree roller coaster! Be it childish or what.. haha.. i am excited to take photo with MICKEY! The fireworks and seashow is nice! It's also relaxing and romantic to take the boat ride along the "venice alike" setting.
Day 3 awaits...
