Hokkaido: Day 2 - 2009/01/08

Reach Narita Airport, and immediately took a coach to Haneda Airport which was about an hour drive away.
Along away, it was just city view. Highways, buildings, tolls, bullet trains... we've seen it all (from the coach I mean).
Had brunch in Haneda Airport. It cost me 600 yen (about RM 23).
Then jalan-jalan around the shopping complex in the airport until it's time for our next flight to Shin-Chitose Airport, Sapporo, one of the cities in Hokkaido.

Once in Sapporo, we again took a coach to our lunch place, known as Sapporo Beer Garden.
It has a Beer Museum nearby, though we did not visit it due to time constraint.
This is the restaurant in the background.

Already, reaching the restaurant from Shin-Chitose Airport took a few hours. By the time we finished our lunch, it was already 4pm, and the sky was already getting dark. After lunch, we of course took to opportunity to play with some snow... and a snow-man.
Sadly, I didn't get to experience building my own snow-man. There just wasn't time for it anyway.

We finally reach our hotel, Tomamu's Alpha Resort.

The details:
Alpha Resort Tomamu,
Aza Naka-Tomamu, Shimukappu-mura, Yufutsu-gun, 079-2204 Hokkaido.

It's located in the one of the hills in the city (or town, I'm not sure) of Tomamu. This was the place we had our ski lessons and a hell loads of an enjoyable skiing time.

The place where we had our Japanese buffet dinner that night, in the Nininupuri Restaurant in the resort itself. The view outside the restaurant was just spectacular.

It's a tiring 2nd day.
