Tonight we went to the Fighters vs Lions baseball game at the Sapporo dome. We caught the subway to the stadium and joined 41,000+ fans to watch the first game of the season. Marie, our housemate, is an avid Fighters supporter, so we were in high spirits ready to watch the fighters win. Unfortunately they lost 8:1 but it was still a great game to watch and the atmosphere in the stadium was electric!

Bye-bye Kutchan
Today we handed in our staff phones and apartment keys and left Kutchan, the place we’ve called home for the past four months. Its been so great working a season here. We’ve made some great friends, eaten some amazing food, and got to board in some of the best powder around. Thank you, Niseko.
We’ve now got 9 days to explore Hokkaido before we venture to the mainland for a quick trip to the capital, Tokyo.
First stop, Sapporo. We visited Sapporo together earlier in the season for the snow festival, and Stephen came more recently on a boy’s weekend, but we’re here now to be more like tourists, visiting local shrines and temples, tasting local cuisine, and most importantly attending the first major baseball game of the season – Fighters vs Lions.
Stay tuned.
