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.

@madmonday @nizzel55 thanks guys. no worries. always been a pleasure to share. Nizzel, you should really try to make that trip happen soon. you'll noticed. also, i've noticed that towards the end of 2015 and start of this year, tourism numbers have really jumped for japan. everywhere you go, you can almost feel it. not to throw you off because of the crowd, japan coped well with it
@Oleg those look beautiful made. fast fades.

Visited Kyoto for the day. Didn't even realise that i came to Kyoto two years back and been to kiyomizudera without going further in. What a wally. Managed to cover more of kyoto this time. Kiyo and Fumishi Inari for the day.
