Day 30 - 1st December 2018

Was good however, i think they tend to repeat their dishes pretty often.
So Miyoshi is a shop that maybe go once or twice is enough.
It is also not cheap

End of Day 30.

Day 31 - 2nd December 2018

Last in Japan

Woke up super early to take train from Kyoto to airport

Fast lane for quicker security check

SQ don't have lounge so is using the JAL Sakura Lounge.
However, that lounge gets a bit crowded since other airlines also use it...
The food selection is not so good as well.
Can get 2k Yen for spending at Ganko/Pronto/Tully Coffee

I think Koyo more or less over already in Hokkaido.

I will be going Noboribetsu and Sapporo only.
Mostly Food + Onsen in Hokkaido.

This thread is expert level 99. The other one is like reading an oversized, tedious training manual without even playing the game yet lol
