It is very eye-catching. Standing in it, it feels like walking on a red carpet. The breeze occasionally blows bursts of fragrance, and the whole person is immersed in pink romance. Shibazakura is actually not a variety of cherry blossoms. It belongs to the herbaceous plant family. One stem is divided into many branches, covering the ground. These small single-petal flowers are named cherry blossoms because of their color and shape similar to cherry blossoms.

The word "shiba" in Japanese means wild grass, hence the name "shibazakura". When the car stopped, looking at the brilliant shibazakura, I immediately felt that all the expenses and the hard work on the road were worth it. Every year from early May to early June, the shibazakura is full of flowers, forming a very beautiful picture.

According to records, there was originally a field of cherry blossoms here. However, in 1954, the Toyamaru typhoon destroyed the area. At that time, Mr. Kataoka Heiji, the manager of the park, brought back a small box of moss phlox seeds from the shrine and started planting. After years of accumulation by several generations, the current moss phlox field covers an area of ​​nearly 100,000 mu.

Such a beautiful view is really rare. Let's enjoy the purple sea of ​​flowers again. The dark clouds in the distance are rolling, and it seems that it will rain. After seeing the moss cherry blossoms in Takinoue Park, we went to Shikicai-no-Oka in Furano. Because it is the wrong season, there are not many flowers yet, but the terrain is still quite impressive. We also saw the grass mud horse-alpaca.

This is also very common, and can also be seen in Sihai City. If you travel with a group, you don't have to worry about transportation and accommodation. The food and accommodation on this group tour are very good. The transportation is convenient. 18 people are equipped with a 49-seat bus, which is very comfortable. The Japanese driver is very dedicated. The car is always clean.

As soon as the driver stopped, he would clean any visible dirt. Every day, Yunluo and An Chuyu's large luggage would be loaded into the car one by one, and then unloaded one by one at the hotel. Unlike Yunluo and An Chuyu, the driver would open the suitcase and leave it alone. When the driver drove, he would wear a big hat. He looked very professional and energetic.

The car drove very smoothly throughout the trip, and it felt like taking a train. The problem with group tours is that there is too little free time. Shopping spots are limited to designated places. Although shopping spots in Japan are not like those in China, and the prices are different from those outside, the range of choices is much smaller. In addition, many attractions are limited to a quick visit, and the fun is not enough.

Getting up early and changing hotels every day is also a very unpleasant part of group tours. Japanese snacks are not only cute and exquisite, but most importantly, they know how to present the products to customers. Almost every snack has a cut-open sample, so you can see what the inside of the product looks like - because they are confident, so they dare to show it!

This little cute chicken is so adorable, I don't know how it tastes. I bought it but it's still unopened. Just looking at its appearance, I'm going to keep it as a souvenir. I can't bear to eat it! Mount Fuji matcha dessert is really like a jade rabbit~ The picture is so beautiful that I can't bear to look at it! Compared with domestic store clerks, Japanese store clerks have the characteristic of being full of energy and always shouting.

It's almost impossible to walk into a store and not hear the clerk's voice at all... Japanese style~ This phone chain is so realistic, will it be eaten as sushi? -_-| Chinchillas can be seen everywhere in Japan~ There are a lot of food to choose from at the airport, and the difference between the samples and the real thing is really not that big, you can choose with confidence.

Yunluo and Zhuliu chose the most simple and safest ramen, and also started Yunluo and Anchuyu's long ramen journey... Next you will see many kinds of ramen. Ramen, or ramen... the so-called spicy ramen. It's just like this, people say they don't feel anything >_<. The glassware with snowflakes is beautiful.

Arriving at Sapporo New Chitose Airport at night, if the arrival time is late and there is no activity in Sapporo the next day, then the hotel in the airport is the best choice. First, it avoids the twists and turns of the journey. Second, it is very close to the JR station, so it is convenient to go anywhere the next day without dragging the luggage and walking a long way. Hotels in Japan are usually not large in size.

But what does it mean? Although the sparrow is small, it has everything you can think of or you can't think of - slippers, toiletries, bathtub, etc. Most importantly, it is very, very clean!

The next morning, when I woke up and opened the curtains, I found that there was an apron outside. However, the sound insulation was so good that I couldn't hear any sound from outside. There was no need to worry about the noise. I could only pray that I didn't sleep too soundly and miss my early flight. There are some minor problems in coming to Hokkaido in winter, such as what to do if traffic is blocked on a snowy day.

What if you can't go to the place you want to go? At this time, just tell yourself berelaxed! If the weather is abnormal (of course, this situation will only happen to the extreme like Yunluo and An Chuyu, Yunluo believes that everyone can generally travel according to the plan t_t), just change the itinerary. There are so many places to visit in Hokkaido, and the most important thing is not to affect your mood!

Here are two apps for you to check the weather and train operation status in Hokkaido in a relatively accurate manner. Don't trust the information found on domestic websites too much, as they are seriously inaccurate... Weather query app: Train operation query: While the weather is good today, hurry up and have breakfast and go to the first stop you've been thinking about - the ski resort Tomamu!

The restaurant overlooking the airport hotel is actually quite luxurious...Airport Terminal Hotel (airterminalhotel) In this weather, you can only eat iced lychees, but they are still super sweet. Don't miss this small tomato when you come to Hokkaido. The skin is thin and the juice is rich. The taste is completely different from the cherry tomatoes in China. Looking at the photos taken by Yunluo, it feels like it will burst at any minute.

Very tempting, right? Right? Yunluo must eat it every day (oo) <---This is the meaning of pig nose (foodie). Healthy breakfast, 100% vitality! Speaking of Hokkaido, we have to mention the most famous snack here - White Lover, which tastes really good. If you want to take it home, you don’t have to buy it at the beginning of the trip, which will only add to the burden, because this biscuit can be bought everywhere.

You can buy it at Sapporo Airport on your return trip. The price will not be higher at the airport. The price is the same across the country. The white lover is everywhere. Another specialty of Hokkaido is crab. The main types are king crab, long-legged crab, hairy crab, etc. I ate all three types on this trip. I personally think that the king crab meat is the most substantial, and its huge arms cannot hide its strong muscles.

One of its legs. It can be used as food to support the family and also as a weapon to defend against enemies. It is really a good product for home and travel >_<. Speaking of hairy crabs, it is really Yunluo's favorite. Under the hairy spider-like body is a meat as smooth as a girl's skin. Don't judge a book by its appearance. As a die-hard fan of hairy crabs.

Yunluo will be furious~ The airport sells frozen king crabs, which are very expensive. If you want to eat them, please follow Yunluo and I will take you to the Kushiro seafood market to feast your eyes (well, you can only feast your eyes for now-_-)! The first thing to do when arriving at the JR station at New Chitose Airport is to reserve a seat. If the boarding point is the first stop of the train, there will usually be a seat available if you sit in a free seat.

But if the station you are taking is not the starting station, it is better to reserve seats in advance. After all, it is free to reserve seats for the free pass, but if you buy a general ticket, you have to pay extra for the reserved seats! Yunluo and An Chuyu need to go to the JR Foreigner Service Office to reserve seats. If you have difficulty communicating in Japanese, it is not a big problem, you can use simple English.

There are also Chinese-speaking volunteers here, so don't worry. There are also a lot of Chinese travel materials available, which has greatly reduced the difficulty of travel! From New Chitose Airport Station to Tomamu, you need to take one stop to Minami Chitose, and then change trains from Minami Chitose. The station is full of Japanese style and the platform is old. The land is covered with snow.

Finally, it was proved that Yunluo had arrived in Hokkaido. The woman waiting for the bus. This is the designated ticket, you must put it away. This ticket will be checked on the bus. For more than an hour, the land outside was covered with snow. You may think that this monotonous white will make people tired, boring, and then drowsy, but if you really come here, you will definitely believe it.

Even though the scenery in front of you is not very changeable, you will repeatedly sigh at the gentleness of the snow while sitting in the warm carriage. Because you don't feel cold at the moment, you will also regard the heavy snow as a quilt for the farmland. Tomamu Station is an unmanned station, and most people who come here are heading for the two hotels of the Hoshinoya Group here.

Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the relatively new Tomamuthetower, which is translated into Chinese as "Tawa Hotel". What an ugly name-_-||||. After booking a hotel on the website, the hotel can send a car to pick up passengers between the station and the hotel gate. The drivers all wear cute hats. Is this really okay? Hahaha!

Someone will pick you up right after you get off the bus. I helped Yunluo and An Chuyu with their luggage. The service was first-rate. The moment I entered the hotel lobby, I felt warm as spring. I was wondering if the hotel would be buried in such heavy snow... But that's what we wanted! Tomamu is a great ski resort in Hokkaido. The snow is very dry and thick, especially suitable for skiing and snow entertainment.

In addition to these, the key point is that the entire tomamu resort is particularly peaceful and tranquil. This small village is particularly beautiful in every season (you can see the beautiful sea of ​​clouds in spring and summer), so even if they can't ski and don't plan to ski, Yunluo and An Chuyu did not hesitate to choose to make this paradise-like place the first stop of their trip.

If your clothes are not thick enough, you can buy some in the hotel shop. The most thoughtful setting of thetower is that it is very cold outside in winter but very beautiful. How can guests enjoy the beautiful scenery without having to walk hard in the ice and snow? This wonderful glass corridor can achieve the best of both worlds. The entire corridor runs through the hotel building, food street and other areas.

The refreshing colors make people reluctant to go out at first sight. You can enjoy the heavy snow outside without freezing a finger. The dining area of ​​Hoshinore sot Tomamu The Tower Hotel in Hokkaido follows the texture of the entire hotel that combines modernity with a simple village. It is simple but not vulgar, but be careful of the ice!

A woman taking pictures in the snow. A woman seeing a huge crab (she didn’t know she would go crazy for crabs in the next few days so she was amazed at how big the crabs were). A sunny shop in the afternoon (I really like this warm tone and atmosphere, no color adjustment). I ordered a bowl of beef rice, and Yunluo was shocked when it was served - how could such a small bowl satisfy Yunluo?

But Yunluo was sure that this was not a children's meal. Zhuliu's ramen was still better (the second time I had ramen on this trip). So I ordered some fried chicken to appease Yunluo's unsatisfied stomach. After eating and drinking, I was ready to really go to this land covered with heavy snow. Only in this way can I be considered to have truly been to Hokkaido. When it snows, it is actually not as cold as you think.

It’s only cold when the snow melts, because melting snow and evaporating water absorb heat (the nagging of a top student) - Yunluo just wants to say that you must not doubt that Yunluo is pretending to be cool and not warm, because it’s really not cold! One of the great things about Tomamu is that it’s not only quiet and peaceful, but also has beautiful scenery. It’s not crowded.

It is a typical small village in your dreams. Although the ski area is very lively, most of the area is so quiet that you can hear the sound of snow falling. Yunluo has never liked to go to crowded and so-called famous attractions, so Tomamu is really the best choice away from the hustle and bustle.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Please wear gloves when playing in the snow at Tomamu Resort in Hokkaido. If you need another reason to come to Tomamu Resort in Hokkaido, especially for those who can't ski, it must be to play dog ​​sledding. The dog sledding place is not next to the hotel. But you can make a reservation online first, and the person in charge of the dog sledding will send a car to pick you up.

There are several dog sledding shops in Tomamu, some of which are often open to foreigners, so it is convenient to communicate with them. Unfortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu had already booked a full reservation before they came, so they could only try their luck and go to another purely Japanese website. They tried to send an English email to the other party, and the reservation was successful.

So began Yunluo and Anchuyu's wonderful three hours of getting along with the dogs! The dog sledding location is very remote. The store owner and his cute dogs have a spacious snow field, this car, and a small wooden house. It's really a fairytale texture! However, this yellow minibus has the words "Hokkaido Adventure Trip" written on it...

Hey, can you really go on an adventure? Please shake off the snow on your head first. Hahahaha, it's so cute! A fairy-tale cabin in Tomamu Resort, Hokkaido. Most of the dogs are outside the cabin. Of course, there is also a small heating room to keep them warm. There are three dogs in the cabin, and the two on the bed are mother and daughter!

The dog Yunluo touched on his chin was his mother, who was old, calm, and had a very good personality. She was also very alert. The black object lying next to him was his daughter, named Dalu. She was also the subleader of Yunluo and An Chuyu's dog sledding trip. Although she was a little lazy and clingy in the house, she became brave and steady on the battlefield. I really like her!

The boss was worried that it would be difficult to communicate with people because of poor English, so he thoughtfully made a Mandarin and English version, but Yunluo couldn't understand the Chinese version at all. It was directly translated by Google t_t. Before starting, you need to fill in some personal information, which is nothing more than whether you have a history of various diseases. The cute dog mom is taking a nap...

After spending a long time learning the precautions for sledding, it was time to go outside and meet the 7 friends who helped Yunluo and An Chuyu! The one in the picture is the leader of this trip, named Fooko. In fact, when Yunluo saw him for the first time, he thought his eyes were a little fierce. Maybe he saw that Yunluo had such concerns.

Fooko actually came to greet Yunluo and put his paw on Yunluo's scarf hoping that Yunluo would touch it. What is this called? Cold on the outside, but passionate on the inside! Before riding the sled at Tomamu Resort in Hokkaido, Yunluo and An Chuyu need to know how to brake and how to help the dogs push when they are struggling. But after they start, they find that these dogs...

They don't need any help from Yunluo and An Chuyu at all. They are so eager to run that they can't stop at all! Hokkaido Tomamu Resort But on the road, you suddenly encounter a dog that just wants to poop... You can only wait for it to finish before moving forward. At this time, you must step on the brakes and don't let go, otherwise the dogs will run away!

After they were done, the guys got even more excited, and the speed was so fast that Yunluo and An Chuyu couldn't hold on at all! When they passed several consecutive turns, these guys didn't slow down, and Yunluo and An Chuyu were thrown directly into the snow, rolling in the snow like the scene of falling off a horse in a costume drama, with snow all over their faces, but it didn't hurt at all.

Before I could recover from the shock, Mr. Zhuliu called me to catch up with the dog cart and continue to move forward. What is extreme speed? Yunluo thought this must be considered! The snow in Tomamu Resort in Hokkaido is actually very thick. Look how deep the friends are stuck in it... Let's kiss after the run >3< When playing dog sledding in Japan, Yunluo remembered that there is also a dog sledding project at the Snow Festival.

The difference is that the dogs there are not enjoying the joy of running, but repeating high-intensity work every day. It is said that many dogs have died. But in this small wooden house, there are dozens of dogs, and each of them is treated well. They naturally like running, sports and people, so Yunluo and An Chuyu also like to play with them in this way.

But each dog only runs once or twice a day. The owner said that keeping them healthy is the most important thing. So it can be seen that the dogs here are very lively and active. In fact, the way for people to get along with animals and nature is very simple. It is nothing more than knowing how to be moderate and not being too greedy and squeezing their value. I spent a pleasant afternoon in the cabin. (To be continued...)
