Friends are coming over today, so we have to go meet them from the airport, collect the car and head to Hakodate.
We had initially planned to have breakfast at the McDonald’s opposite our hotel but we were too tired and overslept. Needed to get out by 9.40am to catch the last free shuttle provided by the hotel to the airport.
It’s going to be a rainy day.
Took the shuttle.
Cute plushies displayed around the airport.
Decided to have breakfast in MMC Organic Cafe.
No-cream carbonara which tastes better with each bite. There was a bottle of grated parmesan to add if you like but I prefer mine cheeseless.
Honey toast was heavenly, sweet with salty butter and a good tinge of vanilla flavour from the ice cream. Mmm…

Friends are here!
Friends had lunch while we went to Royce Chocolate World.
Chocolate bar bun. š
Bought some pralines for myself, this is only available in Hokkaido. Dark chocolate but it’s still very sweet.
Cute!
Collecting our rented car.
Then we had to take the shuttle bus…
To their main car holding area.
Our car for 11 days.
On the road!
Pictures don’t do any justice to the scenery.
Jigokudani aka Hell Valley.
Cute little shop.
Hell Valley is beautiful. Good thing we arrived while the sun is setting too.
Clear water mixing with murky water.
Even demons to represent genders at the toilet.

Chicken cutlet sandwich as a tea break snack. Yums.

First thing we do right after reaching Hakodate is to have dinner at Lucky Pierrot. It’s only available in Hokkaido.
Wacky decor and also snacks sold.
Menu. Chinese chicken is number 1.
Wow. The chicken is well-flavoured, tender and juicy. Thumbs up, will recommend.
