Hokkaido Day 9 and 10

This morning we tried the buffet breakfast. 

Yuanyi is the real foodie I tell you. At the Noboribetsu Manseikaku, he see the buffet spread, he sian sian. But at Keio, he see the buffet spread, his eyes lit up and ate very happily. 

Yuanze also approve the buffet breakfast here. 

So happy, so satisfied. 





Keio's buffet breakfast items stand out for the quality. The standout dishes are the king crab salad, hotate, king crab miso soup and the ramen. Especially the ramen. Yuanze and Yuanyi ate the ramen very happily. 

We check out of the hotel, and board the 11 am airport limousine to New Chitose Airport. The airport limousine bus stop is just outside Keio. So convenient. Definitely will stay here again if there is a next Hokkaido trip. For the airport limousine, on paper the journey is 1.5 hours, but it may drag to 2 hours, depending on how many stopovers to pick up passengers. 

We reached New Chitose Airport, checked in Air Terminal Hotel again, because our flight is very the next morning, at 8 am. 

So the itinerary for our last day here is exploring New Chitose Airport, that is like our Changi Airport, so many restaurants and so many shops to explore. We also bought souvenirs that are mainly food items. 

Yuanyi and I managed to go to the onsen as well, that is complimentary for guests staying at Air Terminal Hotel. This time round Yuanyi is more daring and more at ease in the onsen, as compared to the one at Noboribetsu. 














One whole suitcase of food items. Omg. 

The next morning, we were actually quite early, so the counter staff suggested for us to take an earlier domestic flight to Haneda Airport, so that we do not need to be so rush. Our original domestic flight timing was 8 am, and she changed it to 730 am for us. It was a good change, because the 8 am flight, it was operated by Air DO, a partner carrier, and the aeroplane was smaller with 2 2 configuration. The 730 am flight was operated by ANA, and it was a bigger plane with 2 4 2 configuration, so all 4 of us can sit together in one row of 4 seats. 

That's it for our Hokkaido trip! We will definitely be back! Hopefully exploring other places the next time! :)
