Hokkaido - Day 3 (Noboribetsu to Asakikawa)

I met my sister for another round of Onsen in the morning before breakfast and the morning scenery was great.  Air is fresh too.  After we finished the meal is ready for us. The lady boss actually drive us to Hell Valley and we had a walk to the heart of the valley.  Is very smelly but good experience for the kids as they learn about geography and science.  lol...

We booked the train at 11.45am and we had to be ensure we are early for the train.  We took a bus after collecting the luggage.  Reason taxi is not available and has to wait for 1hr.

We managed to reach the railway station at 11.30am.  Is a smooth ride to Sapporo.  We had our lunch in 1 of the restaurant in the station and proceed to take another train to Asahikawa.

The scenery changed after I wake up from my nap,  kids were very excited to play with the white snow.  They are so willing to take picture with the snow.  They are more ready to wear their gloves, scarf and hat before going to our Hotel.  So nice that there is actually onsen in our hotel.  I had a very good massage on that night too.

We checked with Hotel Receptionist for good BBQ Beef, the only 1 who can speak good English introducing us to a restaurant but they only serve mutton.  We tried and we liked.  But their tomato is really delicious like fruits very very sweet and juicy.

After dinner we let the kids play along the way back to hotel.  They really had a good time making snow angel and just doing silly stuff.

We walk to a departmental store but they closed really early at 8pm.  I didn't manage to get anything there.

We are back to hotel, make the kids sleep and we went to their spa, after onsen we had a really good massage.

I prefer Asahikawa as is not as crowded as Sapporo.
