Sapporo - more than just beer

From Noboribetsu, we travelled on to Sapporo, a fun, modern typical Japanese city. We were fortunate to run into an experienced tourist from Hong Kong who recommended a great (cheap) sushi restaurant and a quick trip for dinner to the coastal village of Otaru. THANKS!
