On my last day in Furano, I have to catch a train back to Sapporo in the afternoon. The first thing in the morning was breakfast. In Hokkaido, how can you not have Ramen? I found one of the most popular ramen in Furano (land of good food ya) – 支那虎. They are actually famous of their garlic ramen, and I am very sure, I will be ordering that haha!

Its a small shop
we managed to get one of the last seat in the shop!
the menu is very simple. there’s only 3 choices – garlic, miso, salted.
We ordered a garlic rice to share because we saw other people ordering it haha. we are that weak! haha
the egg look so perfect!
Garlic Soy Ramen – mine
the soup is filled with garlic taste, so good!
Sy had shio seafood & pork ramen
Sy loves her choice too! 🙂

Oh and its time for dinner, and another good meal in Furano! Listed as number 1 restaurant in Furano, we put high hope here, of cos, this is also our last meal in Furano as well, surely we did anticipate.

Look at this!

a very small setting and very friendly servers
we can really see the chefs are making our food!
at a point of time, there’s some fire performance but, I didn’t get the take a photo of it.
I think thats for us?
the sausages were so delicious!
we also shared a garlic chicken, so good omg!
and this is our dinner, very yummy very good!!! If only we have bigger stomach, we could have ordered another main course haha!

Shirogane Blue Pond just like it name, it is famous because of the colour blue. The reason why the pond is in blue colour because the natural minerals dissolved in the water.

This Shirogane Blue Pond also make it way to Apple Wallpaper too. (default setting selection from apple wallpaper in system preference)

Shirogane Blue Pond

It’s a fair bit of walk, not too far from the carpark. It takes about 10minutes walk. I remembered my cousin and I was walking our pokemon (in app) to accumulate steps! haha

To see this, its really priceless!
the blue is really blue!
really beautiful to see it in real life.
another angle! 🙂

Caught us at admiring the beauty of this blue pond.

🙂
thank you blue pond, you are so pretty!
Goodbye blue pond!

Shikisai No Oka

Here’s the main highlight of Biei, as well as my summer hokkaido trip – Shikisai No Oka.

The beauty of this flower gardens is a paradise, a paradise of colourful blossom beauty. You get to see flowers blooming from spring all the way to fall. In this spectacular panoramic scenery, probably makes you speechless. Oh, this flower garden is 15 hectares big! How do you even count that?

To the beautiful land!

Greeted by this 2 very cute wheat roll bales, say hello!

Heading to Biei next. Biei is a small town with a small population of 10,374 people. You can hardly see people in the street, except tourists!

The station actually looks quite pretty!
