Grateful thank God for giving us good weather in Asahikawa, I prayed that the typhoon that ravaging southern Japan would blow over soon and causes minimum damage.
Asahikawa is the second largest city in Hokkaido. It is clean and peaceful. I saw workers picking every speck of waste or paper from the street early in the morning. The roads and streets are superbly clean.
Within the city itself offers not much for tourists, so we went out today for a day nature and scenic tour.
We took the Patchwork & Panoramic roads from Asahikawa to Biei. We saw rolling hills planted with various crops in different shed and colors - wheat, potatoes, padi, reddish.....
Later we travel out to the mountains to visit wonders of nature - The Daisesusan National Park mountain ranges and waterfalls.
We ended our day by going to Ramen Village in Asahikawa to have authentic Japanese Ramen as dinner..... Oishi desu ne!!
In Hokkaido so far, tourist places visited offer free parking and public amenities. People are polite, friendly and helpful.
With an English speaking GPS, occasionally speaking Japanese which I do not understand a word of it, we manged to navigate ourselves quite well in Hokkaido.
Tomorrow, we are leaving for Wakkanai, the northern most city of Japan.

非常感恩天主所赐的美好天气，我也祈求天主使蹂躏日本南部的台风尽快过去，蒙受最低的损害。
旭川是北海道第二大的城市，街道清洁整齐，不喧哗。我看到工人在早上，到街道捡起每一件垃圾，包括一张碎纸，所以这里的街道是超级大干净，人民有着高超的公民意识。
旭川的市区并没有吸引游客的经典，所以我们今天往外观光大自然的风景及野外景观。
我们取道从旭川到美瑛之间的自然风光之路。这里山峦起伏，山坡连绵，种满了小麦，稻米，马铃薯，萝卜等农作物，不同的颜色，覆盖了大地，非常美丽。
我们到一个看来已经没人看管的森林公园野餐。假如是在马来西亚，我们会担心安全，绝对不敢在这样的地方停留，
过后，我们离开旅游区，到山丘区去-- 大雪山森林公园区里的山脉和瀑布。
我们每天都很早出，天黑了才回来。今天，我们决定到旭川市区内的拉面村享用道地的日本拉面。。。Oishi desu ne ! (美味极了 !)
在北海道，至今为止，所到达旅游景点，都有提供免费泊车及其他方便设备。这里的人都很有礼貌，友善及乐意助人。
持着英语的卫星导航系统，虽然常有说些我一句都听不懂的日语），我们还算可以应付。
明天我们将前往稚内，日本最北端的城市。 更多照片FACEBOOK (点击此）
