Snow Miku

I actually boarded the plane...

October 6 was the day I left Hokkaido.

Perhaps because I ate around 600 g of jingisukan yesterday, my stomach felt a little heavy in the morning. Am I getting old?

I left Otaru for New Chitose Airport. See you again someday!

Until next time, Karin

First, Miku

At the airport I went to admire Miku.

Saying hello to Miku

I spotted some Teto merchandise in the shop and looked back at it about thirty-one times.

Snow was falling steadily again this morning. I’m heading to New Chitose Airport.

I said goodbye to Snow Miku there. My next visit is planned for four months from now.

I had a beer while waiting to board. Outside the window, everything was white.

I watched the snow-covered planes and the work going on around them.

From Otaru to Sapporo

I’m checking out and moving on today. I’ll drop my bags at the next hotel first.

I almost forgot that I’d bought an AOZORA GEAR Snow Miku catalytic hand warmer.

Thank you, Hotel Nord. I liked being so close to the canal.

Leaving Hotel Nord

Before leaving town, I said goodbye to Karin at Iwanaga Watch Shop. I’ll be back in June.

Good morning. The canal outside my hotel window was colored by the morning sun.

I arrived in Otaru yesterday. Today I’m walking around town.

The former Temiya Line was covered in snow too. A photo with Teto and Karin.

I passed Ginza Button’s old shop. I still need to see Chifuyu’s new workplace.

Breakfast at the airport

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 23:00:00 +0900

It had been warm until yesterday, but this morning it was suddenly 13°C. Today I’m leaving Hokkaido.

I went back to Otaru after the marathon yesterday. This morning I headed to New Chitose Airport.

Beer for breakfast.

And ramen.

I ordered another beer and some gyoza. A productive morning.

Saying hello to Miku

Before leaving, I went to see Miku at the airport. Thank you again. I hope to be back soon.

Let's go home to Shikoku together

Yesterday I visited the aquarium and Kihinkan. Today I’m heading home from Hokkaido.

There was a Teto plush in a claw machine at New Chitose Airport. I brought home a new Teto.

Lunch at the airport

I had a Snow Miku boxed lunch.

The outer box was designed to be taken home. They know exactly what fans will want to keep.
