Hello all!
We are now in the homestretch of our little trip. We flew from Kyoto to Sapporo and met up with our dear friend Holly! Sapporo's entertainment district was certainly brightly lit. We ate dinner at an Indian Restaurant run by a very nice Indian fellow who talked with us for a very long while.
The next day we travelled to Hakodate. This is the Japan that I think no one ever sees, or even knows is there. The town is laid out like Newfoundland, or really any sea town. It also feels more like Canada the more I am here.
It contains a great number of 18th and 19th century buildings which are some of the only ones that survived in the entirely of japan. (This is because great earthquakes and fire-bombing ravaged the architecture in the rest of the country.)
As a result of this history that remains intact, Hakodate is home to some fascinating historical museums - some which take the name of history lightly.
These costumes were provided by the Historical Town Hall in Hakodate. They provided us with jewellry and hairpieces as well. It was interesting and slightly silly.
We hope to continue this fabulousness in our remaining days in Japan.
