Isn't this cute? Even the train also have a Mt. Fuji face at Mt. Fuji



Mt. Fuji is right in front but overcast by low cloud if not it should be breathtaking, hope tomorrow is better

No idea buddy, I think Chinatown has a temple that looks like this, the one with a huge gigantic tooth.

that's the sg chinatown temple. there was this group of amateur dancers line-dancing to old american country cowboy tunes, in the heart of sinkie chinatown. :*:

This is the entrance to the onsen hot spring



There's free-flow Sapporo draft beer between 3-7pm so its great to have a glass after the onsen
