Day 5 : Raining day

The weather forecast in Japan is always so accurate. Yesterday saw the news indicating that today will be a rainy day and indeed it was. 100% accuracy which we did not wish it will be. Our itinerary was to go to Otaru today and raining really spoilt the trip. My trip in January was also spoilt by the raining that caused us unable to take nice photos there. What a waste.

It took us around 2 hours to reach Otaru from Asahikawa. By the time we reached Otaru, it was already 10am and we were given only 2 hours to walk around. As it was raining, we went to have coffee at the famous cafe where you paid for the cups and coffee or tea can be free flow. We bought 2 cups chosen by my parents for souvenirs.

After the coffee, we went to the biggest Music Box Museum. I was busy taking photos on the nice musical boxes. No intention to buy hence took photos for remembrance. After staying for 45mins, we proceeded to buy goodies from popular confectionery shops. Bought one 5 flavors ice-cream and shared among 4 of us. They were good. Yummy...

Had lunch before leaving Otaru for Sapporo Beer Museum. We could have free beer after the in house tour. Too bad I don't drink beer and hence drank apple juice only.

Our last place to go for today was Rera Chitose Outlet mall. Not much shopping for me as all items were still expensive to me. Hence just walked around and waited for time to have dinner. Chinese food for dinner which the taste was so so only.

That ended the day and shall rest early tonight. Need to catch very early flight to Tokyo tomorrow. :)
