Still snowing today but we decided to venture out…. So glad we did… We took a train and a bus to get to these two places which are northern coastal cities of Hokkaido…. There’s immense beauty everywhere especially in Shakotan… A quiet seaside town…. We stumble into a little restaurant in this quiet city without a soul on the snowy street and it’s super cozy and traditional…. Each with their own private tatami room and fresh seafood….


There’s not much thing to do in yoichi except to your the Nikka whisky museum with tasting bar….. Warms us up which is much appreciated…
