Arrived at Hakodate, this is a really beautiful place to immerse yourself in thoughts. There was snow on the grounds, but it wasn’t snowing yet.. I love this shot very much!

Heh.. we enjoy train bentos alot, but bentos in Japan are much more pricey than Taiwan’s.. sobs sobs..

it’s a longgg longgg ride to Hakodate. Pail’s neck pillow from Muji comes in just handy!

Arrived!!!

Staff at the Hakodate JR Station Information Desk actually spoke good English, so it wasn’t too bad.. we managed to find our way to our Puppytail Pension.. but it was closed! Awww.. stuck standing in the cold winds, I grabbed the 暖暖包 like sooooo precious…. hahahaa.. see how wrapped up we are.

Pail called the pension boss to check, then only we know check-in time is 3pm, we are early! Nevertheless, the boss drove right over to open the doors for us, offering us 暖暖包s and to keep our baggages for us.. how niceee..

We got so excited when we first saw Muji~~ Hahahaha… I got a pair of ugg boots at 50% off!!! Hohohoh.. and gloves at 30% off too.. see how happy and super excited I am! Immediately changed into them.. but I’m not forsaking my boots, so you will see us carrying an ugly Muji plastic bag everywhere in this entry.. lol

We are going to the Hakodate Ropeway~ woohooo…. can’t wait to see more of this lovely place! You can see, they even wear scarfs for the statues by the roadside! so cute…

It was a pretty steep hill slope, so most of the time, I’m tagging behind Pail.. you probably will see many backview shots of him..

Haha.. we need to climb up the slopes and walk quite a distance before we reach the ropeway.. I love almost every shot here..

In the cable car..

Magnificent, isn’t it? This is just one of the 80000 shots I took, just can’t stop snapping!

We went up there.. and ran out to the cold winds.. woooohoooo.. no kidding. Snowing is not cold, it’s the WINDS that will freeze u!!! Look at my hair.. Hahahahaa flying in all directions..

We took the cable car back to the snow grounds.. and venture into the churches and parks..

Pail had another slip and fell right in front of my eyes again.. I was laughing to the max until I couldn’t stand still. Now that I recall the scene, I want to laugh again!

Pail 爱幼稚!! Haha!!

Sky is turning dark (not again!)… time to look for our dinner place. We were told there is this very GOOD Burger Place here.. hohoho… just nice, fits our bill. Let’s look for it..

We even took a walk in the supermarket to seek some warmth.. haha! And walking outta it.. sky has turned dark already! Oh man… dinner, where are you???

Found ya!! LUCKY BURGER!! I like this name… lucky lucky!

The decor in there is so nice! Every little corner gets my attention… and the best part is, INDOORS NOT SO COLD~ Muahaha.. can take a sit and rest our feet…. and enjoy our dinner~~ Mmmmm….

We took this tram to the Hakodate Goryokaku Tower..

it’s a star-shaped fort with five bastions, built according to the French style after Japan was opened at the end of the Edo Period, to strengthen Japan’s defenses against foreign countries and the arrival of foreign ships. The area is now Goryokaku Park, and only the castle walls remain of Goryokaku itself, but in the spring over 1,500 cherry trees bloom, making the park famous for its cherry blossoms. Goryokaku Tower also stands nearby, with an observation deck 90 meters above the ground, providing a panoramic view of Mount Hakodate, the Tsugaru Strait, and the Yokotsu mountain range. Looking down, the star-shaped Goryokaku can also be seen.

Enough said, but as we arrived, it’s their CLOSING HOURS already. Haha! Ok la.. just take a walk in the park bah.. no cherry blossoms for us either.. 🙁

At night, when we went back to the pension, everything was placed in our room already. Wonderful service huh? 😉 Love the Japanese style room sooooo much, I think we had our best night sleep there lorrr… even tho there is no Internet access. Really loveddddd it~~~ haha..

Taking shots of Us in our Yukatas~~ and..

SUPPERTIME! Muahahaha… almost every night, we buy some supper from Lawson. Keke.. Pail picked this veryyy yummyyy Nissin BIG Cheese Meat Cup noodless…. slurppsssss slurrrpssss…. and the MELON Ice-cream, we thought it was very smart to leave it outdoors while we took our shower, it should be cold enough to keep it iced, but we were so wrong.. lol.. although the ice-cream melted quite a bit, but was still NICE~ Mmmmmm.. hehhehe…

As I’ve said, we had our best night sleep here, in the futon and beanie pillows.. I thought I will not enjoy non-fluffy pillows, but I was wrong again! It has very good support for our necks!! Haha..

Anyway, it’s time to hit down to the Morning Markets of Hakodate! We picked one that seems crowded and popular.. to enjoy our sumptuous breakfast!! Heh heh…

YUMMY right? *wipes off saliva*

Strolled around the markets after breakfast, *burps*, and we saw the seaside.. and.. stayed around for awhile.. enjoying the last few moments of Hakodate.. oh man, we really love this place.. before we depart to our next destination…
