Toya-ko

6th stay in onsen hotel.  Extended fireworks after dinner.

Muroran

Dropped by Muroran – a seaport and coastal landscapes for the first time.

Shikotsu-ko

Arrived at Shikotsu-ko for 5th stay.  Locals were having water sports along the Chitose stream and in the lake.

Picked a  cosy onsen hotel on the lakeside with only 10 rooms.  There are 2 rotenburo shared by the staying guests on a first-come-first-served basis. View from our room was serene with a green garden, lake and mountains beyond.  The Italian dinner was very delicious and sourced from seasonal produce in Hokkaido.
