Shinkansen
Shinkansen pulling into Station向往到漫天飞雪的国度去游玩已经好久了。前几年到哈尔滨，气温都降到零下40度，就是不降雪，真是扫兴。这次来到北海道，终于如愿以尝，天天都在雪花纷飞的日子中度过。北海道的雪，象棉花糖，白白的雪花从天上飘下，漂亮极了。不过，在函馆也遇上暴风雪，行走得好辛苦，雨伞根本招架不住。
Snowfall, snowing days ... that was what we wanted to see and experience for ourselves when we decided to head for Hokkaido.
Fluffy snow falling from the sky, snow storm, blizzard ... Well, we have seen them all in Hokkaido. In fact, it snowed everyday the week we were there. How amazing. It was indeed a memorable holiday for us, who came from a tropical island near the equator.
Our Hokkaido tour started from Hakodate, after spending 2 days in Sendai and Matsushima.

Dec : Depart Sapporo for Aomori
On hindsight, I should have planned all the train trips towards the evening as daylight was short in winter. It was already dark at 5pm. We wasted too much time travelling in daylight.
