The scene from our hotel room window before checking out of Rusutsu Resort.
On the way to our next destination, we pulled aside to take some snapshot of this lovely snow capped mountain; Mt Yotei.
At Fukidashi Park fresh spring water flows freely from Mt Yotei.
School children in uniform on a school outing were helping themselves to the fresh spring water. The water tasted so clean and refreshing.
The area around Fukidashi Park was so picturesque.
Lovely rich colours of the leaves, a calm blue lake.... it was so serene.
Like a picture perfect postcard.
As were were driving away from Fukidashi Park, we passed by a farm, and couldn't help capturing a few snapshots of the cows.
We spotted a fox walking leisurely across the road ahead of us. We slowed down,pulled aside and managed to get a few snapshots before he walked off into the bushes. Can you spot the fox looking at us?
The drive through Hokkaido was so pleasant with awesome scenery like this.
Shinsen Marsh is surrounded by forest of Siberian Dwarf Pine, Japanese red pine and Jezo spruce. 
Shinsen Marsh. The pond lies in perfect tranquillity.
Cambridge Tea Room. A cosy team room owned and run by an English speaking Japanese lady. She makes her own cheese in the house next door, and includes it in her cheesecakes. ¥2310 for 2 persons.
Cape Kamui. Taking the scenic coastal road north towards Cape Kamui there are stunning view of Shakotan Peninsula. The seawater at Cape Kamui is crystal clear a phenomenon known as Shakotan Blue.
Before arriving at Otaru, we stopped by for an early dinner. My wife had the soba.
And I had a beef steak set. Delicious! Both dishes costs us ¥3370.
Arriving at Otaru City we asked directions to the famous Otaru Canal. Otaru has been Hokkaido’s main port since the Meijin period. During the Bunka era (1804 - 1818), Otaru flourished with herring fishing. In 1893 development of a canal began due to increase of ships and cargo involved in the herring industry. Otaru Canal was completed in 1923.Today stone warehouses have been turned into shops and museums and the gas lamps built along the canal romantically illuminates the water of the Otaru Canal.
