Lake Shikotsu, approximately one hour-drive from Sapporo, has so nice a hotel and hot spring spa Shikotsuko Onsen Villa Suimeikaku. I've been to the hotel for hot spring bathing but never stayed so far.

It has been a while since I visited Lake Shikotsu and took these photos. Many tourists and the citizens of Sapporo and other cities in Hokkaido love to visit there on a weekend.
The memorial visit of the first official delegation from Hokkaido to Hawaii was so successful. The last day of our visit had come. We had to leave Honolulu with a plenty of souvenirs and trust.
We finished the party thrown for Hokkaido by the Consulate General of Japan in Honolulu and went to a Japanese-style bistro in Waikiki for "after party".
The Representative of the State of Hawaii Mr.Ken ITO was eager to realize the baseball exchange of the youths between Hokkaido and Hawaii. He contributed to establishing a sister-state affiliation between the regions so much.
We visited "The Rice Factory" in Honolulu. It was in the district mainly for warehouses of the trading industry. The shop had already got the clients such as "Wolfgang Steak House", Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Hale Kulani Hotel and other famous hotels and restaurants.
"Diamond Head" could be seen clearly from Ala Moana Beach in front of the huge shopping mall that allured several millions of tourists from other regions on this globe.
Before visiting "The Rice Factory" headquartered in the eastern district of Sapporo, Hokkaido.The calm surface of Pacific Ocean reflected the shining sun to the beach.
