    Somehow fast food burgers wrapped in paper always tasted better than those in cardboard or styrofoam boxes.

    It was real hamburger also.

    If you unwrap it first, it tastes even better. Just sayin'. ;)

    Voted one of the top hotel breakfasts in Japan is that at La Vista Hakodate Onsen Hotel. Hakodate, located in Hokkaido is known for its night view as partially seen from the top floor where the public baths are located. In the accompanying day view one can see Hakodate's mountain top observatory reachable by car or tram. The iconic Hakodate Night View is seen looking down from the observatory. (Also pictured is the chest of all you can eat ice cream and popsicles offered to enjoy after the bath.)

    Hokkaido is especially known for its varied fresh seafood as one can see from the pictured breakfast offerings which highlight same. Salad is a breakfast staple in Japan but the offering of soft ice cream at breakfast is unique.
