One sheep, two sheep and three, four, even while jogging early in the morning, the held of sheep eased the pain and even may make you sleepy early in the morning. 

In the agricultural experimental field of Hokkaido University, you can see this pastoral scenery early in the morning. 

They were eating the buds of grass and talked to me sometimes. I felt like to sleep on the bed after taking shower in my condo. nearby.

The Ramen Festival in Sapporo 2025 was held in Ohdohri Park and many famous and popular Ramen noodle soup restaurants in Japan got together in Sapporo.

The Ramen Festival selected so nice and popular Ramen restaurants from all over Japan and provided a variety tastes of Ramen noodle soup in the park. 

As I familiar with Sapporo Ramen, particularly, Sumire Ramen restaurant in Sapporo, I chose the collaboration restaurant featuring thick chicken broth- based Ramen on that day.

The Port City Kushiro was covered with white fog like milk drifting in the air early in the morning on the second day of my business jaunt.

After exploring the gallery of the last coalmine under the ground and ocean   " Kushiro Coalmine", we had the famous and popular " sizzling spaghetti topped with pork cutlet" called " Spa Cuts" in Izumiya the winehouse.

The sauce was like typical meatsauce of the restaurant and the noodle at the bottom was crisp and tasty.

This is the outlook of the Ramen Bar "Nadoya" in Kushiro City popular and famous with grilled conch and soysauce- based Ramen noodle soup. I was so satisfied with the dinner and after-party and went back to the hotel I stayed " Prince Hotel Kushiro" 

It had no large public hot spring spa but has wonderful view of beautiful sunrise or sunset depending on the direction of the room on the east or the west.

Unfortunately, it was also foggy the next day and the fog like milk enterd the ships in the Harbor.

After Party in Kushiro City!

by Kazu 

After the reunion with the former colleagues working in the branch office office Hokkaido Prefectural Government, I came up with the idea to wrap up the first day in Kushiro City with my favorite cuisine. 

I strolled around the Downtown and found the Ramen Bar " Kadoya" famous and popular with grilled conch called " Tsubu"  and soysauce-based Ramen noodle soup.

Precisely speaking, these conch are called " Aotsubu" in Hokkaido and we have another kind " Todai Tsubu" shaped like lighthouse on the cliff.

 

The Back Street in Kushiro Downtown !

by Kazu 

The back street of Downtown in Kushiro City was very calm and very few people could be seen in the fog.

When I visited the City of fog and fishery with my wife before,  it was always fine and beautiful sunset entertained us so comfortably and kindly.

But the typical weather of fog created something mysterious and solemn like in the movie films on that day.
