Nenrinya (ねんりん家)
Breakfast at Haneda airport. Hot Baumkuchen. Not fleshly baked but only warmed in the microwave. They have savoury baumkuchen sandwich too but don’t have the courage to try…Menu here.
First thing we did upon arriving at Memanbetsu Airport(女満別空港) was to grab souvenirs. ^^;;; Left pic is some special limited edition fried potato snack which is only available in Hokkaido(ues only potato grown in Hokkaido) and gets sold out really quickly. Right pic is my friend’s recommendation: chocolate-coated potato chips, which actually can be found in department stores in Tokyo but oh well. ^^;;;
Lake Kussharo(屈斜路湖) in Akan National Park(阿寒国立公園).
Beware of bears!
あげいも。かぼちゃだんご。
Fried potato and pumpkin pancake from the eatery inside the souvenir store.
Kusshi(クッシー) is Hokkaido version of Loch ness monster. ^^;;
Sunayu(砂湯): hotspring footbath at Lake Kussharo.
First softcream in this trip!
A cow blocking our way~. We stayed in this cheap accomodation called Aurora Farm Village(オーロラファームヴィレッジ).
Dinner is Hokkaido mutton barbecue.
Mountain vegetables are hand-picked in the morning by the friendly staff.
Udon added to the BBQ.
Well of course hotsprings!!
ねんりん家にはガックリでしたね・・
バウムサンドなんかはチャレンジ心に火が着きませんでしたもんねぇ
しかし、女満別のカホリは凄かったですね・・
何度か行ってるけど、今回は強烈でした…
保冷剤＝アイスパック、っていうみたいっす。
とおまわりの大将が、オレ取った魚だよ、みたいなこと言ってた気がするけど、
もしかしてしゃけだけ彼が取ったのかな？やっぱり私の聞き間違えかな？
Wow nice shot of the cow (so closed up!) Seems like you guys really stayed at a very very very rural area. All those shell thingy….*q*. So those footbath is for public used? Anyone can stick their feet in? ^^;;
The cow blocked our way so we got off our car and took pics with it – it was very very smelly though!!! The grandma in pink from the farm came to help us to chase the cow away from the road. ^^;;
Yes anyone can use the footbath, but it is very clean!
