It's nearly that time of year again! Days at the beach, shaved ice, lots of free time (maybe)...sounds good to me. What are your plans? Please write about what you think you might do (maybe), what you're sure you will do, and what you'd like to do (ideally), if possible.
I'm going to Hokkaido again (same as last year). This time we'll fly into Hakodate, then go up to Toya-ko, Niseko etc on the way to Sapporo. I plan to eat soft cream every day again! I really noticed the difference in taste between soft cream sold up there and in Kansai. I've never been able to believe it when Japanese say that rice from different areas tastes different (Niigata rice is best?), but I'm starting to believe it may be true after all.
