Started out early, just like any other weekday. However, our destination was Toyako, via Haneda, a 1.5 hour’s flight and another 1.5 hour’s drive by rental car.

Arriving at Toyako we were met by a stunning view of a roundish crater created 110,000 years ago with a group of vulcano tops covered in green in the middle (created merely 50,000 years ago). after checking in we spent the rest of te day taking in the scenary from various places, like the roof top onsen.

In the evening, after a 10 course dinner, we enjoyed fireworks over the lake from the hot tub in our room. And fell happily to sleep.
