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…
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…
A Guide to New Chitose Airport (Sapporo, Hokkaido)
I say Sapporo, because Sapporo is Hokkaido’s biggest city, and New Chitose is associated with it being 40 minutes away by train, but New Chitose isn’t actually located in Sapporo proper (like how Tokyo Disneyland isn’t actually in Tokyo, but in Chiba). That aside, I’ve taken quite a few trips to and from, and in…
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…
Sapporo Diaries: Vietnamese Food on Sports Day
October 9th was a holiday! Happy Sports Day, not the school event, but the national holiday. Even though it was a three day weekend, I decided to just go on a solo date on the 9th (I did think about staying the weekend, but didn’t find anywhere good). My main goals of the day were…
Sapporo/Otaru Diaries: Sapporo Pride and Autumn Festivals
September 16-18 was a three day weekend for me, and also happens to be the weekend of Sapporo Pride, along with a ton of other events! This year I did want to partake more in the festivities, since I decided not to go at all last year. Since I also had the extra day off,…
