On Friday, the first day, we left Tokyo Haneda airport and flied to Chitose. Ken was the first experience of air plain, but he was not afraid it at all. We stayed at Sapporo city and joined the festival.
On Saturday, Mari was invited to a wedding of her friend. I rented a car and visited Otaru city with Ken. We went around the city and looked glassworks. At evening, we picked up Mari and went toward Asahikawa city. We stayed there without having dinner.
On Sunday, we took Ken to Asahiyama zoo.

We watched many animals, including penguins, polar bears, and seals. We saw bears diving in a large glass tank and seals swimming through plastic tube tunnels.
After that, we visited Farm Tomita in Furano. We missed the best season for lavender, but enjoyed the view of a number of large fields with various flowers. I bought a lavender ice cream and a lavender soda, but Ken took them away from him.
On Monday, we moved to Hakodate, a city famous for its seafood. We tasted sea urchins (uni), squids (ika), and a king club (kani). We love sashimi, and they were quite fresh and good as we expected.
We came back to Tokyo, and were exposed to humid heat. I could not bear it any more. Hokkaido is a nice resort in summer.
