Hokkaido Tomakomai to New Chitose Airport CTS

We only reached Tomakomai during the night and stayed over Smile Hotel.

Next morning after breakfast, we moved on to New Chitose Airport (CTS).

The only regret i had was my bad diarrhoea last day at this New Chitose Airport. I missed many stuffs here, including the famous long queue Ramen. So not many photos i took that day.

I am sure many kids and even young adult (remind of childhood days) will like the Doraemon Wakuwaku Skypark. And there a hot spring bathhouse situated in the terminal building itself (Onsen Manyonoyu).

Royce' Chocolate World

I didn't know Royce was from Japan. There was a factory inside CTS.
Eat it when it's hot!!!!

Hokkaido Ramen Dojo

where diners can select Ramen dishes from multiple shops across Hokkaido.

Too Bad.... i have no chance to try.

The place was very crowded

Very popular Hokkaido Cheese Tarts

Map of Noboribetsu

Jigoku-Dani was given the name Hell Valley because of their countless steaming geysers,

hot spring and blowholes. The valley was formed in an explosion crater from eruption of Mount Kuttara ages ago. It has a diameter of 450 m that encompasses an 11 hectare area.

I simply loved this natural environment.

Mount Hiyori and Oyunuma view point.

Noboribetsu was a must visit place at Hokkaido.

Natural spring water are piped to many hotels around.

Tessen-lke, a geyser located in the center of Jigoku-Dani and can take close look

of it's boiling and steaming.

Oni-Bokora - A praying demon statue, which is believed to originate in Edoera,

is enshrined. These 3.5 m standing red demon and 2.2 m blue seated one were both

popular photo spot.

These are actually good demon that pray for fortunes of people and

take away their bad luck.

At Sengen Park, this was a geyser erupting by the hot spring from Jigoku-Dani.

Every 3 hours, will get to enjoy a cloud of steam and roars.

How was i doing for this yoga-pose?

Rest and relax moment

Okay.... please stepped back and not peep in

There were lockers around but may not be that big for bigger bags.

Can read Japanese?

After hot spring, sure you will feel hungry.
