Special edition of rooms in Japan ~ The hotels we stayed in during our trip ranked extremely well in cleanliness. But unexpectedly, the rooms were all rather small and old when compared to the rooms that we stayed in previously in other countries. Nevertheless, cleanliness is definitely my top concern and it was undoubtedly a cozy and comfy experience!
- Hotel Hakodate Royal -
Some hotels, such as Hotel Hakodate Royal, had affiliations to the Singapore embassy, hence they serve mostly Singaporean tourists and also provide marketing campaigns for Singapore in their lobbies.
There are two different types of hotels. the Western-style hotels vs. the Japanese-style hotels. In Western-style hotels, we slept on the usual beds, whereas in Japanese-style hotels we slept on tatami floor beds. The Japanese-style hotels also had onsens (i.e. hot springs) for us to enjoy a spa after a long day of travelling and many visitors could also be seen walking around in the yukatas provided by the hotels.

- Japanese-style hotel :: Asahigawa Crescent Hotel -
It's truly the small things that count! The decor may be simple yet the room still has a elegant and homely feeling. Check out the small paper cranes in the bathroom!
Not forgetting the gorgeous views from our hotel rooms!
- Otaru Grand Park -
On the last night, we had a mini feast in a tiny ballroom in the hotel! It was super delicious! Oishi!!
- Noboribetsu Yumoto Onsen -
When it was time for us to leave, the hotel managers and bellboys stood outside the hotel to wave goodbye. As our tour bus left, we saw them wave to us continuously until the hotel was out of sight. Although we were sad to go, their remarkable service left us all with a warm and happy feeling!
