Hokkaido Part 2

2nd day in Hokkaido.

Some pictures of the house and the surrounding area.

The house
The road that I take everytime from and to the accomodation. At night, it is super dark! No lights at all!

Pei Yen
Me!
Area around the accomodation


Next, we went to Farm Tomita, which is famous for its lavender. But sadly, it was not in season.


Lavender ice-cream!


This flowers are called Goldfish! They really look like goldfish.







Lavendar Calpis (Seriously, I wont recommend it...)

The real メロンパン with real melon inside!


Lavender Ramune




Melon ice-cream! Yummy!






Next, we headed down to the winery where I forgot that I wasnt supposed to drink, coz I was driving. Lol. Just sampled a little bit. Then I realised, and gave the rest to Pei Yen.





Then, we headed up to Biei. Beautiful place. Spent too little time there.



There were many houses-turned-cafes. And we stopped by one.





Kobe beef curry! Can you believe it? I never even ate Kobe beef when I was in Kobe. And here I was in Hokkaido eating Kobe beef! And it was so cute. Heart-shaped rice!

Home-made banana cake. It really is very cozy sitting in someone's house, eating home-cooked food. And the people are sooo nice!




The only bad thing about sunflowers....they attract bees!











Finally we went shopping at this place in Furano where the 森の時計was. But we didnt see the tourist spots. Just headed straight into shopping. Shopping among the trees!


It was a great day. The scenery was breath-taking and the shopping good. We ordered 3 melons to be sent to my house in Tokyo. LOL.
