【Enjoy restaurant breakfast and the rich and famous product specialty】 having ice cream no matter it's snowing heavily

Every morning, the breakfast provided by hotel is from local specialty. We did not have to look for famous products one by one. As long as we get up early, we can eat famous products with a pleasant mood. Bao always feels that Japanese rice tastes better. An indescribable crystal clear Q tenderness, Japanese egg dishes are also delectable without words. The milk from Iwate Prefecture - Oh! Super delicious! Bao drank a lot of cups! (for calcium supplements, I will grow taller). And there were ice cream. Do you see the snow outside? We just liked to have ice cream in the heavy snow, this is the taste!

【Touring in Morioka City】

In Japan, there are touring buses in almost every major city, you may usually have related information at stations or restaurants. You could even buy tickets directly in some hotels, it's pretty convenient. The all day pass ticket of Morioka city loop bus (commonly known as the DenDenMushi - means "snail" in English) cost adults JPY300 and children JPY150. Bus comes every ten minutes, both round trip direction. Business hour of Morioka city loop bus is from nine in the morning to six in the afternoon, it's really convenient, you do not have to walk all the time~~ Bao highly recommend! ! Today is still very cold snowing day, the temperature is "negative 5 degrees". Bao wanted to go visit the shrine, but the holy water were frozen, and the streams in the park were also iced up. Bao felt freezing cold, even Bao already wore 3 pairs of pants and 5 shirts and coat, still feel bone-chilling. Bao's mom put the hand warmers in my shoes, with these warmers that I could walked in the snowfield and felt warmer and warmer.

【Morioka History and Culture Museum】 Bao's experiences at Morioka Museum of History and Culture

It is surely to get experience Japan local culture while come visit Japan. Bao likes in-depth travel, rather than taking a quick glance. Bao took time to listen to guidance (English version) and to dress up, not just simply walked by or took photos casually, Bao have experienced all the process of cultural festivals, and dressed in traditional costumes. Today is also a harvest full day.

【Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture - Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture】Apple's Hometown - Bao went eat Apples!

We left Morioka city and caught the bus toward Hirosaki, the temperature went down all the way while heading north. When we arrived Hirosaki city, it's already subzero 5 degrees Celsius, freezing ----- Bao came to eat apples, had apple pie, drank apple juice.

First, we went to Hirosaki Station and took photos with the apple postbox, then ate the local famous "Tsugaru soba". The soba was amazing, really delicious in every bite. Bao found that no matter soba or gyu don (beef rice), it would be served with raw eggs, and tasted really good when mixing together. Oishi (Delicious)! Walked a kilometer in the snow, we reached the hotel we going to stay today. Nice hotel with interesting Christmas tree, is this the concept of Apple Christmas tree? Hurry to take a picture.
