If you haven't taste soup curry yet, you have a last chance here!
That is why we choose to stay in Dormy Inn Premium Hotel~

While having a delicious breakfast, recall all the pieces of Hokkaido we have come across this time.
Our flight would be in the afternoon.
So what should we do at the last spot of our road trip!

Wanna have a visit to places like Furano and Biei!!!
Any places near Sapporo??

Of course! Yes!



 Recalled the last night

At Susukino street, Sapporo
The most joyful street in Sapporo!
Can you see the NIKKA's board!
That's the most famous spot among tourists!!

It's different to the of landscape of Shinjuku. 

Just 10-min walk from Dormy Inn Premium Hotel




# Recalled the last night

One of the 3 beer garden in Hokkaido

Wanna drink a refreshing beer in Hokkaido!
Wanna eat delicious crab, fresh vegetables and seafood in Hokkaido!
Wanna taste the Genghis Khan in Hokkaido!

Don't hesitate!
Let's go! Kirin Beer Garden!



# Recalled the last night

Open-air hot spring bath in Otaru Dormy Inn Premium Hotel.
How relaxing!  

You know what?
Most of the shops are closed after 17:00 in Otaru. 
So what to do after that?

You might choose to take a relaxing bath at the hotel 
or   
visit the canal  and enjoy this beautiful scene!

Otaru is closed to the New Chitose Airport too!!!
How convenient!


# Recalled the last day

Otaru Canal
Kept giving us different impression in different seasons and different time.
No wonder it attracted many photographers to come to take a perfect shot!

Just thinking to develop this shipping canal in the past, 
now it has become a beautiful sightseeing spots!!!
Awesome!!!


# On the way to the airport

Although we don't have enough time to visit Biei and Furano in this trip,
we would like to provide you some useful information!

On the way from Sapporo to New Chitose Airport
We found a good place to be able to enjoy the nature of Hokkaido!

Thanks for the our local Hokkaido's friends for the accompany all the time these days.
And here is his recommendation!!
So-called "Take-ana"
By the way, 
our friend's name is
Kazutoshi Takeishi ^^
So, "Take-ana" means Mr. Takeishi's recommended spot!

He was born and grown in Hokkaido.
In order to spread the charm f Hokkaido,
he started photography!
Most weekends, he'd like to drive to every corner of Hokkaido 
to take all the beautiful photos and upload to SNS.
Besides, 
it is so sad that sharing place was limited until now!
If you are interested, feel free to check out his facebook!!!
