Hokkaido trip






Last week for four days and three nights, Hisako and I went to Hokkaido with her parents, Ayao and Takashi. We flew into Kushiro, then rented a car and drove across most of the large island, eventually ending in New Chitose airport, near Sapporo, where we flew back to Kumamoto. The weather for the first 2 days was less than appealling - light rain, cloudy and very foggy at times. However, the day we went to see the lavender and other flower fields near Furano, the weather was incredible.

Here are photos of the crab we ate for lunch on the second day, the cabin we stayed in the second night, the flowers we saw in and around Furano, and the old government building in Hokkaido.

Overall, it was a relaxing vacation, although we ended up driving over 600km in only 4 days.
