Tour to Hokkaido ~ Part 2

If you ask me what is the icon or mascot in Hokkaido, i'd say "brown bears". On the second day of tour, we visited Sahoro Bear Mountain, which is located a stone-throw away from the Sahoro Resort Hotel, and next to Club Med Sahoro. There are a total of 18 male brown bears in the Park living in an almost-natural habitat. You can either visit the brown bears by their "cage vehicle" or "treetop walkway"...











From Sahoro we were transferred to Furano. This is one of the most beautiful place in Hokkaido especially in spring/summer time. We were hosted lunch in Furano Resort Orika, the only boutique style hotel in Furano. Mr Kamori, the founder of Kamori Kanko Group joint us for lunch here!!

After arrival at Narita Airport, we were transferred to Haneda Domestic Airport by Airport Limosine. One thing i salute about the whole transportation system in Japan is, they are always punctual. At 7.35AM sharp our coach depart from Narita Airport. We arrived at Haneda Airport just in time for check in, to catch up with the domestic flight to Chitose Airport in Hokkaido.

Upon arrival in Chitose Airport, we were greeted by Mr Koshika, Marketing personnel from Rusutsu Resort and also representing Kamori Kanko Group, cum translator for the whole group. From Chitose Airport, it took us 2hrs to arrive Sahoro Resort
