So this day was fun cause we got to eat an nice big breakfast which consisted of fish, beans, rice, soup and after we did some small hikes in the surrounding hot springs area. I did some walking through the hot springs, took some awesome pics and got to soak my feet in a natural hot springs river.

| fancy breaky ;) Not gonna lie, kinda strange eating fish for breakfast.. |
After that we caught our next train departing at 12:35 for Sapporo. Arrived in Sapporo around 3 ish, dropped our bags off at the air b&b and headed out to Otaru. Only had about an hr in Otaru to explore before shops closed (around 6pm...make sure you go during the day for Otaru).
We checked out this music box museum which wasnt really a museum, but rather a store filled with music boxes. The entire store was singing..I think I went a bit bonkers in there. I got overwhelmed because there were literally thousands of music boxes everywhere!!!!!! Ranging in price from like $14-?$1000?? I don't even know!

After that we headed to some romantic canal river thing, let the married couple do a "romantic walk" along the river and myself and Stephen walked behind like weirdos. It was a funny scene actually, shortly after we left with Otaru with hungry bellies, very much looking forward to ramen!!

Went to Ramen street, or how the Japanese call it LA-men and picked a really good place to eat some Lamen. The shop was tiny as hell, but all of them were like that. You basically have a slim table in the shape of an L that surrounds the chef who cooks it in front of you. You sit individually in your stool ...there are no tables , everyone sits side by side looking straight at the chef. Pictures below for the food ;)
