Hello world! This is my first article about my travels. So let me be as creative and free as I can write but let me also be helpful with some of the important things from my Japan experience.
Japan is really beautiful. The people are polite and there is no question for that. But let me start with the Visa. I applied my Japan Visa through Accredited Travel Agent and for specific application types and requirements check from their official website.
It only cost me about USD30 to process it though an agent. It's not really expensive and the service is reliable with only took about a week of processing.
By the way I joined a group travel for this trip. It was fun yet I still prefer to travel alone or with a friend or two. We stayed at Rusutsu Resort Hotel in Hokkaido. It's a bit far from the center yet the place is really nice if you want to have lesser crowd and more of nature activities. Going there you will be have a glance of Lake Toya.
Please try Rusutsu Land Ice Cream, it's my first time to eat an Ice Cream in a 10°C weather and it's something new.
My hoodie was just fine for the weather, this was in June.
Here's the city area in Sapporo, you cannot see much people.
This is former Hokkaido Government Office with the European architecture.
The King crab was a food paradise for me. It's juicy and really huge.
We also went to Sapporo Clock Tower in Hokkaido, more tourist here and you will love the chocolates sold around the area.
This was during our visit at the Hokkaido Shrine, interesting rituals here before you go to the temple and in the temple - so please ask them.
Below is the Otaru Canal
This was in Otaru Canal.
P.S. Don't forget to try a Sapporo Beer. :-)
