Warning : Massive post of more than 50 pics.
DAY 4-7 : JOZANKEI / TOKYO
Because I want to remember things easily as time passes, so well this will be a heavy post.
Last stopped/ blogged on the heavily snowing night in Sapporo after went Otaru.
After we woke /
the next day, the whole street is nothing but whiter...
But guess the hotel has cleared their own pavement outside at wee hours.
A last snowy pic in Sapporo before heading off to Jozankei..
Today is my call..
I want curry :)
His...
Mine...
(looking at the pics....I am hungry again..)
After having warm our stomach with curry, we checked out from Sapporo hotel,
took a taxi to the gathering point at Odori area to take the hotel bus that bring us to Jozankei :)
Shoot from the bus on the way to Jozankei.
Ride was about 1+ hours.
Jozankei is located outskirt of Sapporo - considered the nearest natural hotspring place to Sapporo.
Took a short nap while browsing the scenery.
Finally reached!
This a pretty and older ryokan style hotel.
It was pretty large too.
It was originally not my first pick but usually hotspring ryokan are more packed on weekends so I am left with limited choices with the others mainly fully booked or left with much more expensive rooms.
But I am surprised that it is located at quite a nice spot! hee
Below is the full view of the hotel.
Nice hor? surprise..
Got around the surrounding to pic before it gets dark just after 5pm...
The jozankei natural spring park is just near by.
These are the natural hot springs.
That I must warn they are really quite hot...!
Scenery is superb here!
Isnt it lovely?
I guess it is slightly colder in Jozankei than
Peep into our little Japanese tatami room :)
DD felt boring with the surroundings being a shopping person
View from down the room
This is the best floor of the whole trip at 9th floor haha
It was the highest for this hotel.
Our check in note
Spot any error/s? :p
The little wardrobe that holds all the bathing / hot spring "uniform" :p
For convenience, you could take off whatever inner and don on this while gtg to hot bath or hot spring.
In winter time of Japan, most that comes visit hot spring, usually like to take their bath at the public bath area mainly to prepare for hot spring also, it is so much warmer to bath there than in your own hotel room.
Choose a size that suits you. Here, it comes from S-L, also for kids too.
This is available in almost all hot spring ryokan/hotel.
Oh yes remember to bring along a big and small towel to hot spring.

so DD was preparing the bed earlier right before our 6pm dinner ahha..
While he made bed and dip in his own bath tube in the hotel room, I definately prefer to go for real good dip in real hot spring.
Back in uniform from hot spring...done just before dinner time so it would not be crowded.
I am extra hungry after the lost of water & probably some fats from hot spring...
Paid extra for the Ozen dinner...
But we can help ourselves to the buffet too.
Hee no make up after hot spring dip as we have to clean ourselves up from head to toe b4 dip :p
The thing about hotspring is mainly just hotspring and scenery...
There is ntg else to do so it is really healthy lifestyle turning in early..
Just a night passed.
The next day...
Back to Sapporo and took a train to New Chitose airport.
CALBEE CHIPS FRESH?
Yes! At New Chitose airport.
did you spot the Q? They fried fresh and marinated fresh + some toppings available according to your likings!
Saw the long Q?
Towards the vibrant city - TOKYO...
---------------------------------------------
TOKYO!~
Shinjuku
finally!
So tired with the domestic transfer and finally found our hotel, Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku
much smaller room in city as usual... :(
Since it is about 2x more ex than Sapporo hotel.
But it is nicer & very cosy...
Starving...
Just settled on Omu rice after making few rounds at Yodobashi camera area...
Love this cafe!
The Alice in Wonderland theme is so sweet :)
That was the look he gave me when I asked for the Tokyo look :p
His omu rice with beef patty as usual...
My OMU rice with lotsa veges!!
NEXT DAY

Well tink of it, it has been 2 years part for me..
LOTTERIA BURGER

His favorite is becoming mine too
Teriyaki Hamburger with poached egg..

With our yummy burgers! :)
Shopping around and appreciating unique buildings or styles...
And
COFFEE BREAK...
Yummy sandwich..
After some walkings...
It is eating again ~~~ ....
But this is one of our favourite store that we keep coming back :)
Kyushu style ramen at HARAJUKU!

OH...I am missing it again..
OH...I am missing it again..
...............................................................................
Can you believe it?
We are having another meal hours later after shoppings
BBQ...
But we went in just in time for the last order of the shop ahhaa
I am surprised that the meats are super nice...
Maybe cos ordered the premium wagyu & pork set...
There were alot of veges like salads, pumpkin, sweet potato etc too...
yummy!
But cost about S$170 for this meal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time flies and
flying back again :(
Sharing the better meals on way back - Japanese sets!
The breakfast in flight to Japan sucks...
So it ended well then.
DD's beef set again...
I opt for the full Japanese set.
It was quite nice... yum
---------------------------------------------
WHEN BACK
my dry skin got much drier :(
So its time to spend on rich moisturier again...
Went facial and so happened got a good promo going on.
$243 for below set hydration set!
Sothy is good but abit pricey..
If chance on good deals of sothy, do consider.
----------------------------------------------------------------
After this short racky trip to Japan, hope I could do not need long time to plan for another.
HOKKAIDO is great. Just that it be better if not travel in such cold time.
I haven't get a chance to plan for Hakodate, Noburibetsu, Furano, Niseko etc as it is too big to cover.
Probably I may need a month just for Hokkaido if so.
The thing about Japan, it keep amazing us with its politiness, cleanliness, creativity, individualised, good culture to make their country a better place to live in. Just that things there are still damn ex. No much differences after the last major earthquake.
Whatever...
Now I jus need to get my weight lowered (after those non stop eating like bear in winter) & get my bank account figure higher to get another travel heeee..
Diet diet & no more shopping please.....
