how about in SG?
Would like to get some first.

Don't buy in SG. Expensive (compared to the prices in Japan) and not as good. There's no need to buy first for standby. There are combinis and drugstores at every turn of the streets in Japan. Just get from there instead. Cheap and efficient.

For parent with young kids (<2yo), what do you feed them apart from milk?

We are thinking of buying a cheap cooker to make some simple purees/porridge in the hotel...

Stay there b4... yes the station is just a stone throw away... but the room is very small... abt 16-19sqm...

if u got budget... can go for Southern Tower across the street... the room is much bigger... for abt $50-100 more... abt 25-30sqm... and Takashimaya is just across the linkway... less than 3mins walk...

How are you going to Ningle Terrace? I don’t see any direct transportation heading there. You’ll need to take a taxi from Furano station. You’ll also need to make sure you leave Asahiyama Zoo on time to catch the train to Furano.

How is the car from toyota? Is it in a good condition?

First time directly with Toyota... I’ve rented cars from different car rentals in Japan... so far all provided me with relatively new cars with good condition... should be less than 2-3 yrs...
