I'm from Spanish, I was in Sapporo and Otaru at Christmas 2019 and I loved it. I went to Japan 7 times. in otaru i ate the best ramen i tried in japan, i know there are many ramen restaurants but that for me was what i liked the most for now, the restaurant is called tokaiya ramen

Una vez que uno visita Japón da mucho deseo de seguir visitándolo. He ido varias veces, pero me faltaba Hokkaido, desafortunadamente teníamos el viaje para el 2020 y el virus lo ha impedido. He puesto en mi lista tu recomendación de ramen, espero pronto pueda ir. Saludos desde Seattle, USA.

I went to Otaru once before way back in 2012 during a graduation trip. We went during the Snow Festival season, so the canal was very lively and beautiful. I was hoping to go this year during a conference, but it sounds like the conference was shifted to be fully online, so that might have to wait for another time. I did manage to go to Furano a couple of years back though for the lavender fields.

I think it’s great when couples can do things together when they don’t do things together. I love the snow I would kill myself if I tried to go down a mountain side. but I could crunch around in it for hours and I would love to watch my partner go down the hill. And spend a romantic night in a hotel room with the snow falling absolutely. And that hotel looked amazing. I think it would make for a great weekend.
