The ramen yokocho is probably a must for visitors in Sapporo (often called the city of a thousand ramen). Walking through the alley, there is nothing else except ramen. I had hoped to spend some time trying out a couple of different ramen, but time was tight and one was all I could have.

If you’ve been following me around, you would know that I was in Hokkaido about a month ago. One of the places I visited was Lake Toya 洞爺湖. A volcanic caldera lake about an hour away from Sapporo… maybe more.

Jigokudani (地獄谷) or Hell Valley is in Noboribetsu (登別), Hokkaido.
It’s barren and smells of sulphur. No wonder they call it Hell Valley. ^^.

At this little shop in Otaru, I ran into the ever exclusive Jyagapokkuru. じゃがポックル。
It’s a pack of potato strips. Premium potato strips from a famous potato farm in Hokkaido. It was really really difficult to find this snack. It was sold out everywhere else.

I don’t usually go on tours, but found myself in one on my first trip to Hokkaido. Hokkaido’s a big island. Maybe going on tour first gives one an idea of where to go spend time on the next trip. ^^. At least now I know if I’m not planning to spend time in Sapporo alone, I’ll need a car to get around. I think I’ll try Hakodate on my own next time around. But for now, enjoy these pics that you can only see from a bus window.
