Our driver/guide was named Leo, who is half Japanese half turkish, who speak excellent english, he brought us to visit Otaru’s landmarks such as the Otaru canal, cape Kamui, shimamui coast, and went to the otaru box museum and to the LeTao cafe shops at sakaimachihondori shopping streets. We also got to eat in the famous sankaku market where we ate king crabs, abalone and other seafood dishes. Next day we went to Noboribetsu and Lake Toya, to the quaint Lake Hill Farm to try their famous ice cream and some pudding desserts. we went to the hells valley and the hills of the buddha, the moai statues and stonehenge. we also had our first taste of hokkaido ramen at Noboribetsu. It was an enjoyable 2 days and Leo made sure we get to explore the places within the 10-hr time schedule. He drove very well and always made sure he is ready to pick us up when we are done in a place.
