day 7 in japan – from hakodate to sapporo

Tags

Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan, Sapporo

I am back on the train again, this time on 北斗5号, heading to Sapporo.

I finally understand when this train ride is a must-do! The view is simply captivating!!!!!!

I was kind of disappointed when I realized only this morning that I had been given an aisle seat. It was actually a blessing in disguise. The view on both sides of the train was equally astonishing. I was hoping around from side to side, going wild taking pictures. An uncle offered to let me have his window seat. Maybe I was ruining everyone’s view =P

the start of day 7 in japan – breakfast in hakodate

Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan

There is a famous morning market in Hakodate, 函馆朝市, famous of its seafood. So I decided to have my breakfast there before boarding the train to Sapporo. I did not bring my guide book magazine since its a market, I decided to follow my heart in choosing a breakfast place.

The market was not at all crowded, unlike the wet market in Singapore.

I was kind of disappointed when I got off the train at Hakodate. This place looked pretty backwards compared to where I came from. The station remained me of those in Europe.

day 6 in japan part ii – from hachinohe to hakodate

Hachinohe, Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan

I am finally on the last part of my three parts- 6hours train ride to Hakodate. It wasn’t easy to take pictures for the last three hours as the train was moving very quickly and my Lumix is not able to take picture automatically at regular intervals (or so I thought).

While I am blogging now, I am also taking occasional glace out of the window in case i miss any scenic shot.

So, these are the 2 better pictures from the last 3 hours from Tokyo to Hachinohe while i wait for my next dose of caffeine to arrive =)
