And, that red sign is my bus stop. I took the 1140 bus back to Asahikawa. Arrived a little after one. Dropped my bag at the hotel and retired to a friendly coffee shop. I decided that I didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t want to see anything. I didn’t want to experience anything. I am sure there are some wonderful attractions in Asahikawa. It’s the second largest city in Hokkaido. And, it gets more snow than any other city in Japan. I stayed in the coffee shop until check in time. I picked up a strange Japanese sandwich for dinner. Aside: all Japanese sandwiches are strange. They most likely think our sandwiches are strange.
Got my train ticket for tomorrow morning. Got money from the 7 Eleven Bank. Checked into the hotel. Enjoyed the onsen. The last hotel’s onsen was definitely volcanic. This one seems to be slightly carbonated.
Tomorrow I am heading to Abashiri on the 8:30 train.
