豊かな自然環境や行く先々の魅力や味覚も堪能されたようで、旅行中の写真拝見を依頼したところ、
“No problem!”
ひとつ返事で、後日たくさんの画像をシェアして頂きました。
予想通り満開の桜並木はもちろん、藻岩山からの絶景はまさにプロの写真家と思えるほど、観光ポスターにも採用したいほどの腕前ですね。
札幌と言えば“サッポロビール”、やはりここは外すことなくサッポロビール博物館にてテイスティング（ミッション・クリア）。
市内の観光名所を踏破されたダニエルさん、次回は札幌観光大使としてご友人やご家族とともに来訪されますよう、併せて益々のご活躍をお祈りいたします。
この度は貴重な体験談と写真をシェアしていただき、ありがとうございました。
以下、画像とともに寄稿文をご紹介いたします。
This was my third trip to Japan, so I decided to visit somewhere I've never been before. My parents have recently visited Hokkaido and recommended I travel there so I planned a 5 night stay in Sapporo at Hiro and Mika's home which is a lovely place to stay.
On my first full day in Sapporo I wandered around Maruyama Park and saw the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom. In the evening I went up to Mount Moiwa for a spectacular night view of Sapporo.
The following day I travelled to Otaru and enjoyed sightseeing around the city, visiting the stain glass museum and enjoying the local cuisine. In the afternoon I visited the Nikka Whisky Distillery in Yoichi which is about a 30 minute train ride from Otaru and well worth the visit.
For my third day I visited the chocolate factory at Shiroi Koibito Park, which was the highlight of my time in Hokkaido. From the architecture of the buildings to watching the factory line making and packing the chocolate, this is definitely a must see. The experience is very immersive and there are plenty of interactive experiences to enjoy from chocolate tasting to even making your own chocolate.
I spent the morning of my final day in Sapporo visiting Moerenuma Park with its stunning glass pyramid, vast fields and cherry blossoms. In the afternoon I visited the Sapporo Beer Museum and enjoyed tasting a few of the beers on offer there.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Hokkaido and would love to return.
Thank you very much for sharing your precious experience with artistic pictures in Hokkaido.
All of the pictures you sent us were marvellous! Cherry blossoms were at their peak as if they were looking forward to welcoming you here. The night view from Mt. Moiwa is one of the best I like, which is equivalent to that of professional.
We are so happy to hear that you "thoroughly enjoy your time in Hokkaido" and appreciate you left a heartwarming message in the guest notebook.
We look forward to meeting you again. Please stop by when you have a chance to come over Japan!
All the best.
Hiro and Mika in Sapporo
