A proud day.
We hiked for 7kg to see
Lake Kuttara (倶多楽湖 Kuttara-ko) - with our sandals - and it was worth it.
The Lake is part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park.
The lake is recognized as having the best water quality in all of Japan, with a transparency of 19 metres (62 ft), the lake ranks second only to Lake Masu according to the Ministry of the Environment.
Tired, we called for a cab to the lake house which took us to a ramen-ya. Matt scores again with unforgettable butter ramen, but that's not the point.
He coincidentally saw a poster advertising a local firework Sumer Festival (Omatsuri) which was held that very day! Had he not seen it, we would have had to go back to the less than impressive hotel... And we were hoping to go to an omatsuri!! So off we went and wow!
it's happening.
Lucky draw and win a Salmon or two! Throw a can of beer why not!
Crab miso soup in giant pot!
