Sapporo Diaries: The 74th Sapporo Snow Festival
This year the famous Sapporo Snow Festival was held from February 3rd-11th, and my boyfriend and I chose the second weekend to stay the weekend and hang out and check out the festivities. We decided pretty early on (learning from our lesson last year) that we wanted to stay the weekend to see the sights,…
Sapporo Diaries: A Chill-y Weekend
On the weekend of January 20th, I stayed the weekend in Sapporo, mostly because my boyfriend suggested it in case we had a long bus ride again, and to make our limited time in Sapporo worth it. I just wanted to go out that weekend to hang out after not going out after two weeks.…
Tokyo/Sapporo Diaries: Back to Hokkaido
Here’s Part 2 of my winter break trip! This post is about the return trip back, starting from my flight to Haneda Airport, then to New Chitose, and going home from Sapporo! The break felt long but short at the same time… My flight was a little before midnight on January 6, and this was…
Sapporo/Tokyo Diaries: Airport to Home!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I went home this holiday season, and though not doing actual city exploring, I did spend quite a bit of time at airports and in airplanes, which is still blog adjacent for anyone that is interested in New Chitose or Haneda airport! I took a bit of a break…
The Best Boba in Sapporo, Hokkaido
[This is a cross-post from my boba blog! I figured since it’s still Japan adjacent I’d put it here as well.] In my opinion, clearly. If you’d like to challenge my opinion, feel free to leave me a comment or a message, or just try these places for yourself :). I basically moved to Hokkaido…
Sapporo Diaries: Oden and Seasonal Drinks
For various reasons, I stayed the night in Sapporo from December 1st to the 2nd. This was my last forseeable time I would be in Sapporo before leaving to go home for the holidays, so I thought I’d make the most of it while I was there. December 1st: I got on the soonest bus…
Sapporo Diaries: Showing my Friend Around
The same friend I showed around Otaru left for Sapporo right after to stay a couple days, and he also asked me to show him around Sapporo, so on November 25th, I headed over to give him a tour of what I know in the central area. I took my usual bus, but for some…
Otaru Diaries: Pokemon Donuts and Happy Thanksgiving
November 23rd here happens to be a holiday this year, and aligns with American Thanksgiving, and also happens to be Japanese Labor Thanksgiving. Apparently the holiday is about being thankful and celebrating the labor people put into harvest, which is similar to American Labor Day and Thanksgiving combined (go figure). My boyfriend wanted to go…
Sapporo Diaries: Fall Vibes on a Long Weekend
November 3-5 was another three day weekend here in Japan, as November 3rd is Culture Day, and this time around, I figured I would take advantage of the longer weekend to stay in Sapporo. I thought about it early enough that I booked accomodation in Sapporo in advance, so I wouldn’t end up with an…
Sapporo Diaries: China Festival and Spy x Family Exhibition!
I went out to Sapporo on October 21st, because I figured it was about time to go out of town again, and also various events happened to line up that weekend, which made it all the better to go. First up on the agenda after getting off the bus was checking out the China Festival…
