6 Days 5 Nights Hokkaido Trip (Day 5) - Free and Easy Sapporo & Chitose

Fifth day in Sapporo. Due to next day we take early flight back to Malaysia,today we will check out from home stay and move to the hotel which near by the airport. In Hokkaido most the home stay check out time also in 10am, it really too early for us. But we also utilize our time. Before 3 hour check out , we have a light breakfast then take taxi to the famous shrine in Hokkaido, Hokkaido Shrine (北海道神宫Hokkaido Jingu). Hokkaido Shrine is a Shinto Shrine and it located in Sapporo and next to Marumaya Park . Is a peaceful and quiet place. It also a beautiful shrine in Sapporo. I heard my friend said that, if you make a wish here, it may come true. We are lucky , the time we at there don't have tourist yet. So we can take a lot wide photo at here.It maybe also we reach here in early morning. At here we also draw divination a Omikuji. The Omikuji not only in Japanese language , there also have English and Chinese word to let you choose . After take the Omikuji and read thru it, you can hang the paper at the board. It can let you wish come true.  Next to the Shrine is a Maruyama Park, we hope can see some Sakura a the park. End up we saw another 2 type of flower, which is Manglietia fordiana (木蓮花Mokuren) and Plum blossom(梅花). Both of them also beautiful.   This Shrine really is a lucky shrine, before we back to Home stay, i get a email from Airasia. The flat bed seat which my best friend bid already been approve. She and her husband can enjoy the flat bed when the flight back to Malaysia. ( Although is not free,but is the minimum bid amount). After here, we back to home stay and get ready check out. Our home stay host really good,they will send their member to fetch us to nearby train station. We really have too much bag to carry, end up we request to send to Sapporo station, they also willing to do that.  After fetch us there, the host member also give a cookies as present. It really warm. Next time come over here again, will choose back this host.  From Sapporo Station we took a JR Rapid Airport to Chitose station, it cost 880 ¥ one way. Arrive the station,although only 10min walk to Hotel, we also take taxi to there. Because today weather really cold and we take too much of luggage. At chitose area, the taxi more cheaper than Sapporo. Every time we get in Taxi, the 1st charge will be 670¥, at here only charge 470¥. From the station to hotel only less than 3 min car distant, so drop off time we only paid 470¥, (is really worth than we walk there) . Best Western Plus Hotel Fino Chitose service really good and the room big and clean. We book an executive smoking room with 4 bed. It really nice. After check in and put all the luggage , we walk to nearby restaurant to have lunch. The reception told us that, most the restaurant nearby open for dinner. But she also give us a map and show us and recommend us to Aeon which nearby the hotel.  We found a noodle house which show at the map and walking distant about 10min.This shop look like most are local people come over. But is lucky that, they have Chinese Menu easy for us to order.    We order tempura noodles, curry pork chop soup noodle, tofu noodles and pork chop rice.The price consider reasonable and the taste were good.  After here we back hotel take a short break then 3 ladies back to Sapporo shopping. Remember Women never said no to "shopping". Of course before we start shopping , we also visit our last attraction place. If not people will said us wasted time to Sapporo only for shopping.  Sapporo Beer Museum  opened in 1987 in a former brewery from the Meiji Period. When you step in information office, you can choose paid tour or free and easy tour. Paid tour will have somebody guide you and intro the museum and will get a free beer.  This museum introduces the history of beer in Japan and the process of beer making.We walk thru the history board , if you are free and easy tour,don't worry next to the board have few language introduction book there for refer.  After this you may walk to the exhibitions hall from there you can buy coupon to taste different beer there. Due to later we still need shopping, will not taste the beer. After visit the museum ,we also walk around this area. The museum is red-brick building, you can took a lot photo here. We took a premium taxi with normal fare to Susukino area start ours shopping day .   After know my best friend get to upgrade flat bed, we bought a lot extra things back We shop there until evening time and back to hotel pick up her hubby and go dinner together. We take a taxi to New Chitose Airport Domestic flight there to take our dinner. Supposedly we wish to try the famous pork rice at airport. Due to the time we reach there already late and it going to close.  End up we back to the first day we visit Ramen Street area to grab our dinner . This ramen also one of the famous and must try ramen in sapporo.The taste like Malaysia prawn noodles. If you don't like the prawn taste, you also can choose rich soup. (It mix prawn soup and pork bone soup together) .
