HAKODATE BY SHINKANSEN . TRIP TO HOKKAIDO . Check out more videos at chriswaldtours !!
Good days jeff here we jumped on the shinkansen and headed north towards hokkaido where we had to stop at this place called omori which was several hours away from tokyo and we had to change trains there and jump on a one that went through this tunnel pretty much the
Longest tunnel in the world 53 kilometers long and we were underwater for over an hour a bit of a wiring thought but anyway we made it and anyway on the other side there we noticed that there was a shinkansen track being built and apparently this is going to be opened in 2014
So this will be another way you guys who like to have a ski we’ll be able to get through to sapporo and it’s a five hour trek basically so be quick for you anyway we jumped off the train at hakadote and this is the railway square there a few hotels there
A few other buildings and whatnot lovely looking sculpture there a couple of kids playing underneath it having a good time there we go there’s that sculpture again anyway as we walked up the uh square there towards our hotel just a bit of a look around at some of
The buildings there’s a one under construction there that’s looking back at the railway station they always have these lovely squares in japan uh near the railways anyway there’s a warning sign there for a tsunami i uh i guess there was a siren that sounds and you have to
Head for high ground so basically the nearest tall building i suppose there’s a few trams running around and you can get a day pass and go in any direction on the tram walking up the streets there a little bit more while we were walking around there was some
Nice pleasant music playing in the background as well it’s a bit more of a look a bit of a older style buildings up there very colorful lights some statues there anyway this is a view out of the hotel room it’s a bit dreary but anyway we’re preparing ourselves for
A full-on day of touring tomorrow anyway you’ll have to watch that and we’ll catch up with you next time bye for now
