I actually boarded the plane...
I left Otaru for New Chitose Airport, visited Miku, flew via Haneda to Takamatsu, and still wanted to turn around.

Sapporo Marathon day
I ran the Sapporo Marathon half, slowed after 18 km, then carried my pack around Otaru and climbed Jigokuzaka.
A day in Otaru before the marathon
The day before the Sapporo Marathon, I bought whisky in Yoichi, had lunch at Ishi to Tetsu, and wandered through Otaru, including the aquarium.
Back to Otaru for the first time since June
I flew from Takamatsu to Hokkaido via Haneda, then returned to Otaru for the first time since June and visited SAKE Bar MARUMOTO and HALF TONE.
A day in Kasukabe
After completing the Otaru stamp rally, I collected the Kasukabe stamps too, then flew home to Takamatsu.
Looking for breakfast at the airport
I looked for breakfast at New Chitose Airport, had ramen and soft serve, and flew to Tokyo while already thinking about another Otaru trip.
One more walk around Otaru
With my 80-liter pack, I climbed Otaru's hills again, ate a sea urchin bowl, shopped at Tsukushi Makita, visited Ryugu Shrine, and finally headed to Chitose.
Perfect weather for the stamp rally
I completed the Otaru stamp rally, went to Yoichi for pizza and whisky, revisited the aquarium, and spent my last night looking over Otaru from Mount Tengu.
A rainy Otaru stamp-rally day
I continued the Otaru stamp rally in the rain, visiting shops, Otaru University of Commerce, Ishi to Tetsu, and Koueido before an evening walk by the former Temiya Line.
Halfway through my Otaru stay
On my fourth day in Otaru I took a boat to Todo Rock, continued the town stamp rally, and had Karin and Chifuyu cocktails at HALF TONE.
