Back in Sapporo

Came back in Sapporo from another trip. Took a train trip from Abashiri to Sapporo. Comfortable as always and heaps of space for legs! I like seeing the changing scenery and thinking about things on train. I hadn't had such time for a while so most needed, I think.

札幌、ただいまです。日本の電車は乗り心地がgood ( これは外国人も同意済み )。網走発最終だったので人も少なくて、足こんなかんじでだら～っとリラックス。景色ぼーっと見たり、考え事したり、くつろぎの5時間の列車の旅、いいかんじです。


Next day I went out with mum, to the neighbour city Ishikari. My home is nearer to Ishikari than to central Sapporo. Ishikari is closer to the ocean and has less people. It's a little quiet town appealing to me somehow.

帰ってきた次の日、母と二人でとなりまち、石狩へ。札幌の家は、一応市内だけど、どっちかというと石狩寄り。海近いし、人少ないし、好きなんですよね、イシカリ。というのも・・・

This is a newish cafe located close to the Ishikari beach. I didn't know such place existed in Ishikari! So nice! Superb ocean view, relaxing atomosphere and nice food and cakes. It's a lovely place to visit on a Sunday afternoon. Even beatutiful sunset if lucky.

こんな海を見渡しながらランチできたり、お茶できたり、まったり系のいいカフェができていたんですね。ニュージーに行ってる間に、ちょっとおしゃれになっていた、Ishikari。

Very Japanesey isn't it? If you ever have chance to go to Sapporo come around Ishikari and visit this place... I'm sure you will like it!
