Recently I was super busy with the decision I had make before the Chinese New Year. And with the holiday period (Chinese New Year Holiday), I didn't had the time to blog on my Hokkaido trip.
As promise, there is my post on Hokkaido.
Sapporo - Mitsui outlet park
Took ANA airline's night flight from Singapore, Changi Airport to Japan, Hanada Airport to New Chitose Airport. To reach New Chitose Airport, we had to transfer from international flight to domestic flight to reach there. And because of that, we had to get our baggages and re-check in again.
We didn't had much time to look around, shop around or even to sit down and have breakfast as we have to rush to re-check in our baggages. And we had to take the shuttle bus to the domestic terminal ( as when we arrive at the international terminal ).
It took us some time before we were able to find the correct terminal to re-chek in
1 hrs flight from Hanada airport to New Chitose airport was very fast, we looked for the a restaurant to eat breakfast before heading into city. Took the JR line train to Shin-Sapporo Station, to Sheraton Sapporo Hotel. So excited to see so much snow !!!
Actually I didn't planned to come to this outlet at all (truth is I didn't know this factory outlet at all!!). It was when aunties were busy checking in, I looked around at the brochure and I saw this factory outlet that is nearer and it's indoor !!! (the factory outlet that I planned was an outdoor factory outlet :p) The journey was longer than it should be, but we were too exhausted that we don't care and just sleep on the bus.
I always thought that shopping in Japan is super expensive but this factory outlet trip totally change my mind. The thing there were so much cheaper than it was in Singapore!!! Bought a pair of snow boots and some thick legging. The food there seem nice but we decided to go back and bring grandma and auntie out for dinner. After dinner, we went back to have some rest as we will be heading out the next day
As promise, there is my post on Hokkaido.
