      Good to eat their seafood, dairy products, chocolates, ice cream.

      They should bring you to a place where u can have coffee with hello kitty mugs which you can bring back for souvenir.

      My trip there was during winter so everything was covered with white. Weather is cold and I can remember staying 2 nights at a particular hotel which has a roof top shower facility where u can soak yourself in the hot pool with snow dropping in your head. ( shiok but can't recall the hotel name due to many years ago)

      Take more photos ya, am sure you will enjoy.

          白色戀人 can get easily at Isetan Scott's or Takashimaya nowadays. As for Royce chocolate not advisable as it needs to be cold all the time in fridge condition.

          Went Kyushu last year, bought Burberry blue label bag and it is expensive. Well, blue/black label is only available in Japan.

          I remembered gg to Hokkaido to ski a few years ago.. Where u can buy musical box and enjoy freezing rainbow ice-cream. Scallops over there are cheap and fresh and they are everywhere along the streets. If you are gg with a tour group, you will be brought to seafood meals. You just have to pay for yr additional orders.
          Your tour guide will also be selling the magnetic stickers for aching muscle. It worked on me! Good for old folks too! Can't rem how much.. Around $50 or a little more per box.
          You can also buy lavender products such as skin & body care. The ladies will love it!

          Things are ex in jap. My luggage is filled with jap snacks like chocolate, nuts, cookies, candy, moochi, mini cakes, ocha, dried scallops, greentea kitkat and many more.. Mostly are food! Hehe

          Enjoy Hokkaido! You will love it!

                        Initially I also tot that it was quite tasty. But then when I look carefully at the container, it is just Calbee. Hohoho, can get it in sg lol.
                        Think that is a sure introduction by the tour guide :P
