Hello my Steemit friends,

Today was the last day in Hokkaido. We had planned to go to Biei Town, Asahiyama Zoo and Otaru town before getting on the cruise back to Osaka. In the morning we had a hot air balloon experience which I shared in the last post. Hopefully, you enjoyed it.

Biei Town is a small town surrounded by a landscape of hills and rolling fields. The charm of Biei Town is cycling or driving through the hills and visiting some famous places along the way such Patchwork Road and Panorama Road.

After enjoying the beautiful nature of the countryside, we headed to Asahiyama Zoo.

Asahiyama Zoo is a popular spot in Asahikawa City. Here they allow visitors inside the enclosed area to observe the animals. This is one of the first zoos to organize penguin walks in the winter. But unfortunately, we came here in summer.

Our lunch was Genghis Khan BBQ, which is a famous food in Hokkaido. Genghis Khan BBQ is lamb meat cooked with a special soup made with grilled vegetables. You should definitely try it when you visit.

We took the bus about 2 -3 hours to Otaru City. Otaru is a small harbor city and attractive for anyone to visit. Specifically, Otaru canal is really romantic in the winter. There are lights decorated along the canal at night. We strolled around Sakaimachi Street, where you can buy souvenirs, food, and sweets. We bought some souvenirs from here too. This street closes early, so please come before 6 p.m.

I was happy and had fun on my first trip to Hokkaido. I hope you liked my travel story.

こんにちは、
最終日、北海道に観光して美瑛市と旭山動物園と小樽を観光する予定です。

続いて旭山動物園へ行きました。ここで旭川市一番ところです。ここも冬に行進ペンギンが現れるがあります。残念だった！夏ならないです。

昼食はジンギスカン料理を食べてました。すごく美味しかった。

バスで小樽まで2-3 時間がかかりそうです。そして小樽運河で記念写真を撮影したり、運河周辺に散歩したり買いものします。ここで沢山小樽名物お土産と料理とお菓子が販売してます。お店はだいたい6時まで閉店します。時間ですから、大阪にもとります。

北海道旅とても楽しみかった、また来ます！
