Otaru and Nikka Museum

Field trip with Filip before heading on my big road trip, left Yunomi home because it wasn't on the way I was planning to go. We went to Nikka Museum to learn some more about the distillery and the manufacturing of whiskey, and obviously did a whiskey tasting hehe after that we went back to Otaru, walked a bit starving around the beautiful town (which had an interesting European air) and found a secret fantastic seafood restaurant.

Afterwards, a long ride back to Sapporo.

We did have a small incident trying to catch a bus back to Sapporo where the bus drivers wouldn't stop to pick us up (two buses kept on going, until luckily a japanese couple came to the bus stop and it finally stopped, even though the bus driver was incredibly rude to me), which after commenting to a few other travellers, I learned that apparently Japanese people are pretty racist with foreigners, which was a massive disappointment and gave me a bit of a bitter taste to start this big adventure. I had heard so many times how Japanese people are so friendly, but I finisshed the day a bit sad thinking, but are they really?

🏯To do: Nikka museum (quite far away of Otaru, but the views from the bus are stunning), walk next to the river and see the glass artistry, try sea food
