Mt. Yotei, according to the introduction, is located on the shore of Lake Toya in Hokkaido, 1,898 meters above sea level, and is a conical active volcano. At first glance, it looks very similar to Mt. Fuji. I took several photos of Mt. Yotei, with the blue sky as the background, clouds floating on Mt. Yotei, and unmelted ice and snow on the top of the mountain, which is quite beautiful.

Fukidashi Park is one of my favourite spot to see autumn leaf amongst locals and visitors alike. Not only that, this place is also home to spring water that has been on the ‘Japan’s 100 Best Spring Water’ list since 1985. Damn Cool!!!! However i have not finished exploring this beautiful place cuz so many good photogenic spots. So dont let autumn go without visiting this place.

Never thought we would enjoy a chocolate factory so much even though we didn’t try any chocolate during the visit! It was very sighftul and yet full of surprises we walked till they close! Don’t forget to get the parking coupon vouchers from them to get discount off the carpark. We bought our tickets from trip.com and could use them instantly, offsetting coins! Best deal ever! The 6-years old daughter even tried a simple 10mins snack making course for 900yen!

A Record of My Romantic Winter Trip in January 2020~ The first day I arrived at Lake Toya was a very overcast day; the entire lake was shrouded in a gray haze, and Mount Yotei was completely invisible, but I still happily took photos for a long time, haha. The second day, the sky cleared, and the scenery of Lake Toya instantly improved several levels. The clear sky, dotted with a few small white clouds, made the lake surface appear a beautiful blue, and many, many ducklings were playing and frolicking on the lake. The distant mountain ranges and the snow-capped Mount Yotei were clearly visible—such a beautiful scene, peaceful and serene. Just sitting by the lake, gazing into the distance, and all my worries would disappear.

The Half Moon Lakeside Park in Hokkaido is a natural wetland park with relatively few artificial structures. It is really comfortable to experience the feeling of nature when you go there.

Odori Park, located near Sapporo Station in downtown Sapporo, isn't particularly large, resembling a typical garden or green space in Japan. However, the famous Sapporo TV Tower is right next to the park, attracting numerous tourists from all over the world. The area is packed with people eager to take photos.

Second time here and this place never disappoints us! Worth to visit. Came here by tram ride from Susukini and walking distance up to the entrance. It was winter. The snow was thick and we really enjoyed play with the snow. The souvenir shop was great with variety of choices.cable car run smoothly.
