Japan 2018 - Day 7: Journey to Hakodate, Mt. Hakodate's Million Dollar Night View

Choo choo!! This blog train ain't stopping anytime soon, so get on and we'll take you on a trip to Hakodate. Please mind the platform gap. Doors are closing beep beep beep beep beep beep

It was a wonderful day as we observed the gentle family slope with tears flowing down our cheeks. We could have been them, skiing without the fear of accidentally killing ourselves.


Another round of awesome breakfast buffet before we checked out of the hotel. I swear my cholesterol levels hit an all time high during our stay.

Although the Welcome Center was only across the road from our hotel, we showed up early to prevent any mishaps. 

Plenty of time for Jl to enjoy a hot coffee in front of Mt. Yotei.

At this point, it had been about a week since i had the chance to masturbate and for some reason that mountain looked very arousing to me.

As this is an informative blog that strives to deliver useful guidance to travellers beyond all the filthy content, here's a picture of the local Donan bus stop that takes you into Kutchan town.

A short 15 mins ride later and we were at Kutchan station. Our train wasn't due to arrive for an hour so we took the chance to explore the town.

Just a couple of cool kids posing in front of a cute little police post. Reagan would go on to handcuff Jl later that night...or vice versa..

Beautiful mini snow corridors lined the pavements thanks to the snowploughs. Impressive that they keep their roads so well maintained despite the constant snowfall.

What Jh was doing on this trip 90% of the time

What was really happening on Telegram

The greatest discovery since electricity: a huge fucking supermarket designed to test our resolve of returning to the train station on time. 很过分.

THE AMOUNT OF SNACKS / FOOD / SWEETS / EVERYTHING IS ASTOUNDING I WANNA LIVE HERE FOREVER. 

This. This is my happy place. But just like my love life, the merriment is short lived and we had to part soon after.. Goodbye forever, Co-op Supermarket chan..

Back at the train station, commuters were mostly made up of tourists and students. Some of whom were especially sensitive to snipes

Boy: *whispers to girl* that guy fan-paned against mega creeps
Girl: *shocked*

Indulging in our loots from the supermarket..

While Jl indulges in Jh's broad shoulders. For some reason the 2 of them sat together and started doing couple stuff in front of me. Hen gaowei.

Missing her one true love

Made a quick train transfer at Oshamambe, where we only had time for a short toilet break and not look for more supermarkets.

It's day 7 and the snowy landscapes still feels like porn to our eyes.

An ice cream lady patrols up and down the train, taking advantage of weak willed fools like us willing to spend $5 on a small cup of ice cream.

Famished after half a day's worth of travelling, the first order of business upon reaching Hakodate was to get a small bite from 7 eleven. And my god, this spicy chicken cutlet was almost as good as a Mcspicy patty.. 它很夸张很过分耶!

We were greeted by a very wet Hakodate. So wet that it seemed like i brought it up onto a rooftop and ran through it with my fingers.

Not used to the lapsup snow here after a few days of frolicking in the clean, powdery heaven of Niseko.

The tram system is the primary form of transport for getting around the city. Looks kawaii and all but it's a hassle carrying a luggage onto these tiny things.

Out of the thousands of Hakodate travel guides, not one mentioned about the danger of atomic bombs. Yes i'm talking about fucking birds and their poop which are EVERYWHERE here. No snowball fights unless you want your hands and your friend to taste a mouth full of shit.

And some of the roads were slippery uphill struggles, much like how Ck is struggling not to 湖 his diver girl 五台 during mahjong. These icy paths caused by the rain sticky napalmed us so much that a 5 min walk took up to three times the duration instead.

The information helpdesk people back at Hakodate train station were kind enough to warn us about an impending snowstorm the next day. Although it threw a spanner into our works, we were able to reshuffle the itinerary and bring forward our Mt. Hakodate visit right after checking in.

Have been taking the cable car on every one of our overseas trips recently. Is it we got new hobby?

APPEAL FOR INFORMATION: Suspect is a tourist who allegedly molested 2 young women during gondola ride.

The million dollar night view of Mt. Hakodate. A splendid view of the uniquely shaped peninsula and beautifully lit up by the street lights of the city. 

And with this, we have conquered 2/3 of Japan's renowned top three night views. Already been to Kobe's Mt. Maya, so a visit to Nagasaki is required to complete the trilogy.

This also qualifies as a million dollar view if i do say so myself. The surprise find of our beloved cremia ice cream atop Mt. Hakodate eclipsed our fascination of the stunning landscape.

Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again! We were stumped by the intriguing ring of light in a radius around the moon. 

Jh was overwhelmed by the view and uncontrollably uttered out some words from his heart. (He begged me not to post on instastory afterwards)

One bad thing about Hakodate, is that everything seems to be closed from 8pm onwards. It's like a dead town and we couldn't find a place to have dinner.

Fortunately, we found a small homely restaurant selling rice sets that saved us from starvation.

They also provide comic books specially for cb zai nan customers like us.

Mmm katsudon.. Pork chop and eggs on top of fluffy Japanese rice. A classic, reliable dish that always hits the spot.   

Curry rice for the other boys wasn't bad either, but everything tastes good when you're hungry.

Assortment of deep fried prawns and oysters to accompany our somewhat pale mains. Oysters jin ho jiak.

No monkey business when it comes to mealtimes. Serious makaning in action.

Not much else was open after our meal, which ended at around 9pm. The town was asleep except for a few seedy places, like this establishment which we guessed was either a "Jap tio" or a lupsup ktv.

Having checked into our hotel/apartment earlier, we can now give you a 5 star tour of our fantastic home of 2 nights.

2 levels (although the 2nd floor turned into a duty spot for Kl and Yc to call their gfs), a huge bedroom for 5 of us to sleep together, and even a fucking massage chair. Those underwear and socks lying around the house is kind of sick tho.

Speaking of sick, we all dressed up in the pajamas provided and it certainly looked like a mental institution. Anyone using the massage chair automatically resembled a cancer patient receiving chemotherapy treatment.

And here we thought Reagan looked ill enough, but then this guy took his place..

Holy shit you must be battling stage 4 cancer or something. Don't worry my friend, make a wish foundation is coming to grant your last wishes to meet The Rock or get a girlfriend. 

At the end of the day, nothing feels better than huddling together in the warm apartment, praying for our cancer stricken Ck while the snow rages on outside. Yes it may have felt like we were staying in a pig sty because of the laundry lying everywhere but i wouldn't have it any other way with these people.

And no day in Japan is complete without convenience store supper. Look at that cute polar bear cake. I devoured it ruthlessly in 2 bites. It wasn't delicious. But guess what's delicious? Our first breakfast in Hakodate which will be covered in the next post! [CLIFFHANGER] + credits roll.

- End of Day 7 -
