We visited Otaru and Sapporo. We took a train from New Chitose Airport to Minami Otaru and enjoyed a fantastic sushi lunch. Then we stayed at the historic inn Ginrin-so in Otaru. Ginrin-so is a historic building that was relocated from a herring mansion and has a distinctive observation tower for overlooking herring schools. The next day, we had sushi for lunch again in Otaru, and then we traveled to Sapporo where we had sushi for dinner as well. The following day, we took my father to the school alumni association, and he was warmly welcomed, which was great. We had delicious sushi and it was a delightful trip.
