"Crab hotpot! So delicious!" "It's so nice to see such a big pot full of crab meat!" "This is the crab meat sushi that Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered. It's delicious and fresh, 1 yen per serving, and the portion is big. Yunluo and An Chuyu only ate two pieces and packed up the rest." "This should be crab roe, with a strong smell of seawater."
"There is also a portion of cooked crab legs. You don't have to worry about not being able to eat them. The store has already processed them. You can just use tools to scrape the crab meat and it will be completely separated from the crab shell. It's so blissful to have a big mouthful of crab meat!" "This is crab meat and vegetables fried in the crab shell. Squeeze some lemon juice on it and eat it with it. It's very fragrant and not greasy."
"When Yunluo and An Chuyu finish the crab meat hot pot and there is still a little soup left, the waiter will come in and add some rice and eggs to the remaining crab soup to make two bowls of thick porridge. Nothing will be wasted." "The small pickles served with the porridge include plums, salted vegetables and pickled radishes." "Finally, there is dessert, which is fresh fruit and yogurt, which can help digestion." There are so many crab meat dishes, and the final bill is 100 yen, which is about RMB yuan if eaten in China.
This meal is at least 100 yuan. So when you come to Hokkaido, you must not miss the long-legged crab in Hokkaido. You must try it! After dinner, Yunluo and An Chuyu set off to the JR station to take the Shinkansen to Otaru. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not make a reservation in advance for this train. They just went there to see the nearest bus and got on it.
If you want to check the timetable, you can go back to the Hokkaido section of the "Transportation" section above to see the official website timetable. The snow scenery along the way from Sapporo to Otaru is even more beautiful, the snow is heavier, and there is land on one side and sea on the other. An Chuyu said it was like a snow train haha. Here is a short video taken on the way, you can see and hear the sound of the sea, the wind and the train.
It takes about 10 minutes to get from Sapporo to Otaru. The station announcement will say "Otaru". If you are worried about not understanding it, just look at the announcement strip on the train. It says "Otaru". You can definitely understand Chinese. And Otaru is the terminal. So you don't need to worry about missing your stop. As soon as you get off the train, you will see a vast expanse of white. There is much more snow on the tracks of Otaru than in Sapporo.
After exiting the station, I realized that I was too young to have sex. There was so much snow outside. It successfully turned into a coca-cola vending machine. Do you want to buy something to drink? About Otaru. After exiting the station, you will see a tourist information center, where you can read Chinese maps and information for free. There are routes and directions to all the attractions in Otaru drawn on it.
Basically, you can just take a map. Otaru is not very big, and it is not far to the canal, about a 10-minute walk. Okay, what you can see next is. Snow, heavy snow, big snow, very heavy snow, and very high snow. "Snow almost as high as a bus." "Snow piles made into the shape of trains." "With reference points, you can see how thick the snow is."
"The height of the clouds is a reference to how heavy the snow was that day and how high it accumulated." On the way to the Otaru Canal, I saw a seafood store. It was cold, so I went in to get some heat. The seafood inside was very fresh, and some of it could be eaten right away, like sashimi and grilled shellfish. The price seemed reasonable. After getting some heat.
Yunluo and An Chuyu continued walking forward, and suddenly saw a river and some warehouses. There were no signs or arrows to indicate where they were, so Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to the Otaru Canal. Walking on the snow all the way to the bridge over the Otaru Canal, they saw a scene that everyone who has been to Otaru has captured in their camera.
The temperature in Otaru that day was below zero, and my camera was frozen blue. It is not necessary to arrive in Otaru too early. It is best to go there in the afternoon when it is almost dark but not yet dark. In this way, you can see the daytime and nighttime views of the Otaru Canal at the same time. Each is beautiful in its own way, especially when the street lights on the shore are lit up.
"Otaru Canal in the daytime" "Otaru Canal at night" Because we have to wait until dark. Yunluo and Anchuyu walked around the canal. There was snow everywhere, and it was a beautiful place no matter how you looked at it. I saw the famous Asahi Sushi just across the road from the canal. It was a big store. There were also many snack shops. If you were not too full after eating long-legged crabs at noon, you could buy some to try.
With such thick snow, of course I had to lie down and take a tourist photo. Haha, this is to commemorate Yunluo's first time sleeping in the snow. After nightfall, the weather became even colder, so Yunluo and An Chuyu set out to return to the station and take a bus back to Sapporo. Otaru is even more peaceful after nightfall. In fact, this place is not as noisy as Yunluo imagined with all kinds of tourist groups. It is very quiet and comfortable here.
It's a very interesting place just to walk around and step on the snow. The road is so clean that it's all white snow. When I walked back to Otaru Station to wait for the bus, I saw a small cake shop next to it. You must visit restaurants and food places when you come to Japan, because their models are so beautiful that I want to drool just by looking at them!
Can you tell which cake is the model and which is the real one? After a 10-minute train ride, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to Sapporo. The station is directly connected to a food street in the basement. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't want to eat anything else, so they went to the food street and the supermarket. I really recommend everyone to go shopping in Japanese supermarkets. There are a lot of food, the price is cheap, and there are many choices.
The packaging is also very good. And you can buy it and eat it slowly in your room, which is a good choice for travel. There are a wide variety of sushi platters, and you can eat a lot if you buy one! When you arrive in Sapporo, Yunluo and An Chuyu will check in at Ramen Republic. Ramen Republic is on the first floor of the ESTA building. It is said that this place is composed of specialty ramen shops from all over Hokkaido.
I heard that they have a monthly selection, and the fittest will survive, so every store will actively recruit customers. Listening to their shouting, it is very Japanese haha. In addition, there is a bigcamera next to ESTA. If you want to go shopping or buy electrical appliances, you can go directly here. Here you can see that every store is doing its best to promote its own ramen.
All kinds of first-rate and first-place. Yunluo and An Chuyu finally chose this Asahikawa ramen restaurant, as a preview for their trip to Asahikawa tomorrow. Also, because they have spicy ramen here, they have been eating Japanese food for many days, but it is too plain, so eating something spicy can wake up the stomach. The ramen is still based on miso soup, with a little spiciness, and the noodles are very chewy.
The eggs in Japanese ramen are all soft-boiled eggs, which are delicious. The barbecued pork is also very large, which can satisfy the needs of meat eaters. However, the soup of Japanese ramen is still relatively salty. For those who have a lighter taste, this bowl of noodles is too heavy, haha. After eating the noodles, it's time to go back to the hotel to rest. You can take out the strawberries bought at the supermarket to eat.
You can't eat Japanese strawberries easily, because once you eat them, you will fall in love with them! Really! Completely addictive! A box of Japanese strawberries is sold in the supermarket for about RMB. There is no sourness or whiteness at all, the whole thing is sweet, and the color and arrangement are super beautiful. In the next few days, Yunluo knew that he would buy and eat strawberries when he saw them, and he couldn't stop at all.
Another thing to mention is the convenience stores in Japan, which are really convenient. Yunluo especially likes their beverage cabinets, which make you want to buy all of them. I have to say that Japan's packaging design is really the best in the world, and it makes you want to buy it just by looking at it! In addition, Japanese instant noodles are actually very delicious. If you really can't find anything to eat, you can try them, and they taste really good.
After all, Japan is the birthplace of instant noodles, so I can count it as a check-in. Haha.
A new day in downtown Sapporo starts with a hearty breakfast. Haha, having a good breakfast will make you feel good all day. There is a Japanese set meal restaurant next to the ramen restaurant downstairs in the hotel. It is very clean. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose this one to try. Many stores in Japan have automatic ticket machines at the entrance. You can choose what you want to eat first.
Put money in to buy the meal ticket, and then give the ticket to the clerk, who will prepare the meal according to the order and send it to you. Again, if you can't read Japanese, there are pictures on it, so you can guess what it means. Japanese food is very light, without heavy seasonings, and most importantly, very little oil, but you won't get hungry easily, and the ingredients are very fresh.
There are many kinds of food. Yunluo still likes Japanese breakfast very much. After breakfast, Yunluo and An Chuyu set off to the last attraction in Osaka, the castle tower. "The castle tower of Osaka Castle was originally built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century. In order to build Osaka Castle, he ordered the princes of the country to participate in the construction project, and many stones of the moat and the city walls were used.
It was also donated by local lords, and was built with the hard work and sweat of hundreds of thousands of workers in three years. 』Compared to the castle tower, Yunluo and An Chuyu were more interested in the maple leaves that had not yet withered next to the park. It felt magical to see the maple leaves for the first time! (Children in the south have never seen many things, haha.)
There are many citizens running and exercising around the castle tower. It is hard to associate a building with such a high status in Osaka with the daily fitness activities of citizens. Yunluo and An Chuyu only looked at it from the outside. They did not go in. From the outside, they thought it was a very delicate and Japanese-style building. From the castle tower, you will go to Kyobashi Station.
Yunluo and Anchu were shopping in the department store downstairs from the hotel. Because of the year-end sale, many stores were offering discounts. Japanese clothes are made of good materials and are not expensive. Girls who come to travel can really buy more. After shopping, it was time for Yunluo and Anchu to look for food. There were several alleys behind the hotel, with many small shops and internet cafes.
There are also many ramen shops, as well as fruit shops. Japanese fruit is delicious, not expensive, and all very fresh. You can buy more to eat, because you can’t bring them back home. You should eat more of these things while you are in Japan. Yunluo ate a box of strawberries almost every day in Japan. I will talk about them later. Tips for foraging.
If you don't want to eat in those small shops, the food section of Japanese department stores is a very good choice. Don't think that the food section of a department store is bad, there are also a wide variety of things here, and they are well matched. There are all kinds of set meals, fried food, rice balls, sushi, sashimi, snacks, etc., and the price is very cheap.
The attitude of the service staff is also super good. In addition, the food department of the department store will have discounts at night, all kinds of discounts. If the hotel does not include breakfast, you can take advantage of the discount to buy some rice balls or something at night, which is also good for breakfast the next morning. Japanese black bean tea is great! Yunluo drinks it every day and buys a lot of it back. It is very good for the body!
After shopping, eating and packing, Yunluo and An Chuyu left Kyobashi and went to Osaka Itami Airport to take a flight to Hokkaido. There was a Conan billboard on the subway. Because of the wrong estimate, the time to arrive at Itami Airport was about minutes before the plane took off. Yunluo and An Chuyu were super nervous, because if they were in China, even if they were flying domestic routes, they would have to wait for 15 minutes before the flight.
Yunluo and An Chuyu were worried that they would miss the flight, so they ran to the ANA counter as soon as they got off the subway. There were only minutes left before take-off, but the flight attendant took her time to check in and told them the boarding gate. Yunluo was surprised why she was so calm.
Later I heard that if ANA's domestic flights are flying, basically you only need to arrive minutes in advance. How calm is that. The plane from Osaka to Sapporo is very small, with only a few dozen seats. After getting their things, Yunluo and An Chuyu boarded the plane. Hokkaido Yunluo and An Chuyu are here. After about an hour of flight, the plane landed smoothly at New Chitose Airport.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After getting off the plane, a shuttle bus will come to pick up the passengers and take them all the way to the airport. After the bus stops, the driver and another staff member stand in the front of the bus and keep bowing to the passengers getting off the bus. Yunluo doesn't understand what they are saying, but they just keep bowing, which seems to mean thank you. The service attitude is really great.
Yunluo and An Chuyu were both a little scared. After picking up the luggage at Sapporo Station, you can go to the JR station to buy a ticket to Sapporo Station. The ticket is 1 yen and arrives at the station in minutes. There is a high possibility that there will be no seats, so you have to stand all the way. If you have a JR ticket, you can reserve a seat in advance. It was the first time that Yunluo saw snow on the rails.
After arriving at the JR station, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to the hotel to put down their things. As soon as they got out of the station, Yunluo was shocked. It was snowing outside. Not to mention snowing, Yunluo had never seen snow in her life. At that moment, she was really excited and had mixed feelings. She didn't care how hot it was outside, she just ran out to step on the snow and touch the snow with her hands. It was so beautiful!
I completely understand the excitement of southern children who don't know what to say when they see snow for the first time! Even now, I am writing and looking at photos, and the feeling keeps coming up. Before coming here, the news I saw in Xiangjiang City said that Sapporo has a lot of snow this year and we should pay attention to safety. At this time, Yunluo no longer cares whether the snow is heavy or not.
I was so happy! And it looked like the snow in Sapporo had been falling for a while, and the snow was very thick. It was cotton snow, very light and thin, and not easy to melt. It turned out that the snow really made a crackling sound when you stepped on it! Now it's time to tell a story, a true story about late-night ramen.
After leaving the hotel, Yunluo and An Chuyu went to find something to eat. They originally planned to go to the famous Kanimoto. But when they asked, they found that all the seats for that night were fully booked (but Yunluo and An Chuyu also ate there the next day, I will tell you more about that later). It was already past midnight, and many restaurants were closed.
Yunluo and An Chuyu were thinking about whether to go back to Sapporo Station to see if there was anything to eat and buy something to eat in the room. When they walked to the intersection and waited for the traffic light, they found a girl standing next to them who seemed to be waiting for someone. Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to try their luck and ask if there were any restaurants nearby. As a result, this question made Yunluo's year the best, happiest and warmest.
One Christmas, Yunluo walked over and asked the girl in English if there were any restaurants nearby. To Yunluo's surprise, the girl answered Yunluo in fluent English and asked Yunluo what he was going to eat. Yunluo was stunned at the time. This was the best Japanese person who spoke English that Yunluo had met in Japan. She spoke pure English without any accent.
Yunluo and An Chuyu were planning to try ramen in Sapporo, so she started using her cell phone to help Yunluo and An Chuyu find out where they could eat ramen. She searched for a long time and said that most of the ramen shops near this point were closed. She also gave some suggestions to Yunluo and An Chuyu. They had originally planned to just buy something to eat, but suddenly they saw a boy standing on the roadside behind the girl.
Then she realized that the boy was probably waiting for her, but he didn't come over to urge her or anything, he was just standing there waiting. The girl asked Yunluo and An Chuyu to wait for a while, and then she walked over to ask the boy if he had any recommendations for ramen shops for Yunluo and An Chuyu to go to. After chatting for a while, he suddenly said that there were many shops in the city center that would be open until very late.
They were just going there, so they could take a taxi to take Yunluo and An Chuyu there. They then told Yunluo and An Chuyu how to get back to the hotel and roughly how long it would take. Yunluo and An Chuyu hesitated for a while because they heard that taxi fares were very expensive. They were very enthusiastic, so Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to go over together to take a look.
After getting in the car, the girl kept chatting with Yunluo, asking her where she was from, where she was going to play in Japan, and how long she planned to stay. Yunluo also asked her if she had ever been to China. Coincidentally, she had been to Beijing and Hong Kong. She said that the food in China was delicious. She liked Sichuan cuisine and Beijing roast duck very much. The sauce of Beijing roast duck was particularly delicious.
As they chatted, Yunluo and An Chuyu added each other on Facebook. They agreed that she would look for Yunluo next time she came to China, and Yunluo would take her out to play. As they chatted, they arrived at the city center. Her friend sat in the front and quickly paid the fare. Yunluo hadn't even seen the total amount, and then Yunluo offered to share the fare. The girl said. (~^~)
