Back to Osaka and Singapore

Kansai airport from the air - an island reclaimed from the sea

View of Nanko area from our Room at the Hyatt Regency in sunny Osaka the next morning.

Planes were being de-iced

Our flight was delayed for 45 minutes

I decided to brave the snowfall to visit the local aquarium.The Salmon aquarium was only two train stops away from the airport

Hokkaido was hit by one of the heaviest snow fall in years on our last day there

Niseko Village

View of the ski slope at Hilton hotel Niseko village

Alaskan Husky


The instructor accompanies us halfway

We come back alone with the dogs

The dogs know there's food waiting for them

Hilton Hotel

Niseko village it seems was discovered by the Aussies.a lot of the local architecture here resembles the ski resorts in Europe rather than Japan
