We had some really good snowfall

Hi Fumiko,

Japan was great, we had some really good snowfall whilst over there and interesting adventures.

The bus picked us up as booked on time and the trip was easy and closer than we thought to tomamu.

Tomamu was a good choice, there were plenty of good choices for food with many different restaurants and breakfast venues.
The staff were all so friendly and the accommodation was excellent.
I would definitely recommend staying there to others.
The only downside is no real bar to sit at and enjoy a relaxing beer and laugh outside of the half mountain restaurant.

The half mountain house for food and refreshments were visited every day with a great fire and atmosphere to warm up and enjoy a black beer.

We ended up not traveling back to Sapporo on the Hokkaido liner as it was arriving to late so we went by JR rail.

Our trip in Sapporo was good and I meet plenty of new Japanese friends in a local bar over a few nights.

We next visited Furano, and stayed at the Petit Melon, the inn was situated as close as you could get to the gondola, and the manager teruo was the perfect host.
I highly recommend staying there is  you ever need accommodation in Furano.
It is a small interesting establishment, which is always clean, comfortable and very accommodating of every need.

The snow in Furano was the best I have come across in 4 trips to japan and will be returning there in the near future.

Thank you so much for organising Tomamu, I am very grateful and hope you are doing well and business is going well also.

Cheers
Jason
