Our Last Day In Sapporo

20th December, 2007

Today it snowed all day in Sapporo itself. It was very exciting for us to see snow when we walked outside our hotel. We could have just sat and watched it all day.

The snow falling outside.

We decided to go to the Sapporo Beer Factory to taste test the famous beer there. Well Lauren and I did anyway. The Sapporo beers we tried were exclusive to Hokkaido and could not be bought anywhere else. They actually tasted quite good for beer and only cost us ¥100 each.

After the Beer Factory we wondered around the city for a little bit as the Botanical Gardens were closed during winter. It was then time for us to leave Sapporo and head home. It was really sad to think that this was going to be our last holiday in Japan. I really enjoyed skiing though and I am so glad that I was able to experience it in Japan. Apparently skiing in Hokkaido is ichiban as it has the best snow in the world!!
