Hit Niseko for the day. Fresh powder and really cold weather for the day. The low was about -13 and tops was probably about -4. I'm by no means a good snowboarder, probably have only done it a handful of times, very underprepared this time and should definitely invest in a gopro for future use. Powder in niseko was really good, hit Hanazono's Silver dream course and Hirafu for 1 night run. Fresh powder kept coming down during the day and into the night so it was really good.

Thanks @twin it was really cold and powder kept falling, when it melted though, my head was non stop dripping.

We hit the city after Niseko and did some sightseeing for the day. A visit to Okurayama Ski Jump which hosted the the first winter olympics in Asia, Sapporo Beer Museum and the Sapporo Factory which used to be a brewery for the Sapporo beer company and now is a mall. Honestly, the mall was quite underwhelming and quiet. other than that, the views from the top of the ski jump was breathtaking and the beer museum was informative..
i have to say i did enjoy the sapporo classic quite thoroughly. Very strong flavours of malt. as opposed to the natural tasting first ever sapporo beer Kaitakushi or the normal exported fruity sapporo black.

another day, another ramen from the street. and tried something quirky from their KFC. i was actually looking to try a fried salmon from kfc but the menu have changed and the special item is now fried prawn sticks. not as fantastic as i thought it was though..

Compiling the updates. Picture heavy. Hit sapporo dome, the stadium for the world cup 2002, the one with the moving pitch and shiroi koibito factory on the last day in sapporo. the next day, took a flight down to osaka and manage to squeeze in umeda sky building's observatory before wandering around shinsaibashi area. the travelling is starting to take it's toll. on my last week and back in tokyo now.
