It was our last day in Hokkaido. The temperature was 1℃, and we were delighted we could still see the little snowfall before leaving. We were definitely going to miss the soft and fluffy snow. We checked out of  Mercure Sapporo  around 11am and walked to the Susukino (Minami 4 Nishi 3) bus stop to catch the New Chitose Airport Limousine Bus to the airport (¥1,300 per person).

On our second last day in Sapporo, the temperature was 3℃ with sunshine and no snowfall. We decided to walk to Ramen Haruka and get there before it opened at 11am. However, when we arrived around 10.50am, there were already 19 people ahead of us queuing in front of the shop. There were only nine seats inside the shop, all bar-styled and arranged around the kitchen. We waited for more than an hour, and when it was finally our turn, they gave us a card to scan and order. We ordered a bowl of kelp salt hotate (scallop) ramen (thin noodles) and a bowl of miso (soybean paste) cheese ramen (medium thickness noodle). The service was slow, and even though there's an empt...
