We woke up quite early in the morning (around 6am there). After washing up and packing our luggage, we went to the same small restaurant to have our breakfast buffet. There was nothing much about it so no photos were taken. The only special experience is that I was able to taste some delicious food – their milk is fresh and tasty, no after taste at all~ I like it! Hee.. Their scramble egg is also my favourite! Also, their white bread slice is thick but soft. Yummy~ There got Japanese style of breakfast too and this includes miso soup, rice, porridge, side dishes like salmon fillet, cold tofu, na4 dou4 (can’t remember what is it called in English) etc. It sounded more like a lunch or dinner to me. Haha.
After breakfast, we set off to this place – a national park. This place smells of sulphur. People with asthma or other health problems might encounter breathing difficulty.
(photo from bro) Look at the steam~
Performance for tourist. Their traditional dance for some purpose.. oops I forgot..
There are a few dogs kept in cages here. This is the super camera shy dog. It just refused to come near me. So we can only zoom in to take a snap. The other dogs are more cooperative. Haha.. so this better snap is taken from my bro.
See the big crab? It means it’s a must eat! Haha.
Their 'wet' seafood market. The seafood are really fresh~ and there's seafood which is rarely seen here like sea urchin.
A shell family member, big crab and scallop.
The owner is slicing up the salmon. See how big the tuna fish is!! Omg~ Didn’t order salmon sashimi as I am the only one who knows how to eat and there is a lot to be finished!
(Clockwise direction) fresh raw crab legs, scallop and the shell flesh; the ingredients for the steamboat (such a big portion for 4 people!); left over body parts of the crab
Their method of eating is to put everything inside the pot and let it boils before you start to eat.
The crab leg sashimi is so so nice! So fresh, so sweet, so ‘crunchy’!!
Nice view from our hotel room.
Tatami in our room~
View from hotel lobby. There's a convenient store opposite.
The shelter where we had the leg spa. It is opened to public and is free~
(The above 5 photos are taken by bro)
Lake Toya. They are dolling up this place as it is one of the venues for the G8 Summit that was held around a week later then.
This was a person share. A super full yet most satisfied meal! Oiishi~~ Starting from top left hand corner: seafood rice (covered); hotplate bacon slice with cheese (covered)-a bit salty; veg tempura; sashimi – salmon, prawn and squid; some egg and tofu stuff (covered); chawamushi (covered with a red spoon) – my favourite~; dairy product (I guess is yogurt) with whipped cream; slightly spicy veg – lady’s finger, carrot etc; dessert platter – egg (like those on top of sushi de), grilled cod fish, tart, jelly, mua chee stick and asparagus; preserved raddish. There was dumpling soup too, but it was served at a later time. So is not in this photo. The dumpling soup was piping hot when it was served. Hee.
We were seated on the floor to have the meal. I didn’t wear the yukata for dinner as it was quite inconvenient for me to cross my leg. 
This ship ferried tourist around the lake during the firework session. I forgotten how much it cost. We didn't sign up for this.
(The above 2 photos are taken by bro.)
These are the better viewable photos of the fireworks from my camera. Lol.
Must remember to follow this 左上右下 (ie left over right flap) wearing method. It is because the other way of wearing is for those who are lying in coffin. (So sad! My face is so round. Zzz.) 
There's a jacket for each yukata in the wardrobe. It is for you to wear if you are feeling cold.Labels: vacations
