We explored a little of Otaru this morning before heading for Chitose where the airport is and where we spend tonight ready for an early departure for Tokyo tomorrow.
We started at the Hiyoriyama Lighthouse at Cape Takashima where the Otaru Aquarium is located. The headland overlooks the aquarium so one can get a free look at some of the marine life.
From there we got on the expressway (with no posted speed limit today) and headed to Sapporo the fourth largest city in Japan with a population of almost 2 million people. Our objective was the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium.
We saw a few parts of Sapporo we weren't intending to see. Even with our ever reliable GPS, we struggled to find it but eventually we did. Very spectacular. What a crazy sport.
Our activity for tomorrow in Tokyo is lunch with Makoto and Moitoi Ijuin, long standing clients. Makoto just happened to make contact about a legal matter he wanted attended to while we were here in Japan. As it happens, we will all be in Tokyo tomorrow so lunch has been arranged.
Singapore
on Thursday.
Deb,
we will go and find a nice Japanese restaurant and have an extra glass of wine to celebrate your
birthday tonight. Sorry you can't be with us.
