Walk a mile for onsen in Yoichi (余市,北海道) (4/2/2006)

余市的温泉

It is the first try on onsen in town.

When we arrived Yoichi JR train Station, in the tourist information counter, we asked where the nearest onsen was.

We took 30 minutes walk to the onsen, feeling that it was a long way as the snow was quite big.

At last we , with warm bodies, returned to Sapporo and visited the Snow Festival.

Summary:

Sapporo ( 札幌 ) --- ~ 50 min. (by train) --- Otaru ( 小樽 ) --- ~ 25 min. (by train) --- Yoichi (余市,北海道) --- ~30 min.(on foot) --- onsen
