Hokkaido
Seven days.

Sapporo: Choice of two nights in basic chain hotel or ryokan for last two days of Yuki Matsuri. Must cancel one. CHECK.

Otaru: Reservation for one night cheap lodging pending.

Toya-ko: Friday the 13th and Valentines day at awesome (yet somehow affordable) onsen-ryokan in the mountains. CHECK.

Hakkodate: Two nights at a regular chain business hotel. CHECK.

Train package pending, should have it when the travel agencies open again.


I'm off to the Imperial Palace and Yasukuni shrine to brave the CROWDS. Wish me luck.
