And yes! i'm going to hokkaido from 5th to 13th july! it'll be an extravagant getaway actually. haha! i've estimated $3000+ for this trip, hopefully it wun go beyond 3.5! but well, guess it's really worth it as it's a place that i have always wanted to go. been to japan twice but were all to tokyo!

and i nv realised hokkaido was THIS big till now after planning for this trip. yeah, will be flying to tokyo on 5th to meet ant first and we will head up to hokodate on the 6th via shinkansen and the limited express train! and then we're make our way to sapporo. some greater highlights of the trip will be furano and biei, where we can walk through vast lands of lavender fields; noboribetsu, where we will visit the hell valley and the greatest highlight would definitely be the 1 night in sounkyo which is really a romantic and mountaineous place!

we book this ryokan there for $195 per person per night, shall be a day to pamper ourselves! we'll have this room for 5 just to the 2 of us with 2 huge beds, and there's an open onsen there to view the mountains while pao-ing, and we have buffet breakfast and dinner included too! dinner looks seriously good, with loads of seafood! argh! i couldn't ask for more really! am so looking forward to it. i shall be like the japan hour host, introducing every part of hokkaido!

and yes, we'll be driving to furano, sounkyo and biei which anto really gian a lot! and i think i feel safe with him driving haha! we shall use gps and perhaps get a sports car, driving on the sunny highway~ woohoo~ and it's also easier to travel by car when going into rural japan! haha~ yeah so hokkaido here i come! and what's more, it's with kyodai anto! gonna be exciting man!
