At the next day of the event, I and my friends went to Noboribetsu  by using a gorgeous bus served by Cool star corp. It took for about 90 min to go to Noboribetsu area from Sapporo by bus.

4.Oyu Numagawa Natural footbath(大湯沼川天然足湯）(15:00)

It was first time for me to take natural footbath and I was so relaxed. At the upstream of Numagawa footbath, we can take a bath, my friend said so.  Of course swim ware is needed.

5.Lake Kuttara in Shikotsu Toya National park (16:00)

It was first time to ride a buggy. Fantatic!  The water quality of Noboribetsu hot spring is the best to make skin smooth. There are many places to visit in Noboribetsu area. In addition to information above, people can visit to Bear park, Jigokudani and more. I am not good at drinking alcohol but I drunk blue beer a lot during this tour.

This Blue Beer is called “Ryu-hyo Draft”.

Furusato antenna shop (furusato means hometown) is where you can find variety of local products, mainly food and drinks, in one particular shop.
The mecca of antenna shops is Kotsu Kaikan Building in front of Yurakucho station, (near Ginza), Tokyo.

Out of 15 Antenna Shops in this area, I especially recommend `Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza’.

(Hokkaido is the northern island of Japan, blessed with high quality agricultural products, especially milk, cheese, yogurt, potato, melon, and seafood!)

To get there,

You get off at Yurakucho Station (JR line), and go through Ginza-exit or Chuo-exit, turn left.

Now you find a large unique building with a spherical dome on the top, which is Kotsu Kaikan Building (the 9th floor is well known to have a Tourists Information Center `TIC’).

This is it. You enter the first floor, and find `Hokkaido Dosanko Floor’.

All the time crowded!
Inside you can find all kinds of Hokkaido local food, such as seefood,

and also sweets including Yubari melon softcream, Royce potato chip chocolate (the most popular sweet ), milk, yogurt, Furano cheese-cakes, and…

Pudding!

This is the second popular products called `Bokka no Pudding (meaning, idyllic pudding)’, and only 30 are available each day.

It’s creamy and very sweet !

Other than Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza, there are 14 more Furusato Antenna Shops in Yurakucho (Ginza) area.
Now you can taste the food from all over Japan, staying in Tokyo !

Japanese people and food culture

Let me note that Japan has 42 prefectures, each of which has its own unique food culture. Lots of Japanese people put great importance on food when they travel. Now Furusato Antenna Shops offer easy food experience without traveling.

Furusato Antenna Shop is also called Chiho Bussan Kan, meaning Local Food Shop.
