After checking out from Hotel Hanabishi Hakodate we made our way to the Konbu Museum.
then it was to Mt Usu. Mt Usu is a volcano which erupted 4 times in past 100 years. Its most recent eruption occurred in year 2000.

Lunch was a Japanese-Western meal of pork chops at Boyotei restaurant, a 5 minute drive from Mt Usu.

Another 5 minute drive away and we reached the Nishiyama Kako Sansakuro (Nihsiyama Promenande). This trail was created after the year 2000 eruption which caused the ground to undergo subsequent upheavals and significant damage to be sustained by National Route 230 and surrounding homes and factories.
It made us pause and reflect on the damage that volcanic eruptions could make to nearby villages and towns.
On route to our hotel, we stopped by this cute little farm for ice cream.
The Lake Hill Farm makes their own ice cream from Hokkaido's own dairy products.
Many flavours to choose from. And a huge scoop on top of that cone. Comes with a mega watt smile from the Japanese lady serving behind the counter.

We arrived at our hotel, the Rusutsu Hotel. This hotel is usually packed in winter as people visit this part of Hokkaido for skiing.
The room was super huge. This bedroom was on one level.
Walking down the stairs, we have the living/dining room, with bar counter and bathroom.
We headed off to the hotel restaurant for a buffet dinner of Japanese delicacies.
The crab legs here were divine!
The living/dining room had beds that could be pulled down. In all our hotel room now has 4 beds. Now where do we sleep tonight?
