Sapporo Food: Sushi and Seafood
Hokkaido itself is a big island of a prefecture. While Japan as an island nation is known for seafood, and by extension sushi, Hokkaido in particular is very strong in this department. I will say, even as Hokkaido’s capital, Sapporo is somewhat inland, so if you truly want the freshest fish, I’d suggest going to…
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…

Otaru Diaries: Otaru Pride 2023!
June 25th was Pride in Otaru! Sapporo has a pride parade later in the year, and I thought that would be the closest pride event to me, but a bit ago my friend actually mentioned that Otaru has one in June. I looked it up, and sure enough, there was one scheduled for Sunday, the…
