From white snow land Furano, it was time to trade serene white sceneries for the vibrant and glitzy lights of Sapporo which is the final leg of our Hokkaido expedition. The missus was getting better, but not 100% yet, same as me, runny nose and coughing still by then. But I fared better than her for sure. The cold seemed to have struck her quite hard.

After our extremely short stop at Otaru, we made our way to Furano next. The journey to Furano is more difficult as on the last leg we could only ride on the local train without any reservations and only 4 trips a day. Fortunately I decided to send 2 luggages to our last stop in Sapporo, but it didn't make our journey any simpler as on the train we bumped onto many similiar travellers like us, so the train was quite filled up with luggages. It was just a one car train, strangely.

From Hakodate it was time to go to Otaru next. The journey to Otaru was quite convenient, the first leg was a Hokuto ride to Sapporo, then we switched to the airport rapid train (at least that's how I remembered it).
