A Little Introduction

Welcome to The FUN Travel Blog!

I write light-hearted, personal stories about my adventures and experiences. No top 10 lists or ‘ultimate guides’ here 🙂

I also make fun videos – see below!

I love dancing, my longboard, and wearing the most colourful clothes I can find.

Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram!

🇯🇵❄️🚗 DAY 12!! First full day in Morioka and no fresh snow. Seemed like the perfect day to relax and do an easy activity which was a visit to @koiwaifarm_official to see their winter illuminations ✨

Tickets were JPY1000 per person and you get a 500 yen voucher to spend at the various cafes on site.

I bought a bunch of cow things! The soft serve was amazing! The lights were mesmerising! Loved this day so much 🥹

TIP: DRESS EXTRA WARM COS IT IS FREAKING COLD

This post obviously comes with some delay hahaha but I’m trying my best here 😬

👀 DAY 11 - I’m two days behind now cos damn this is hard!! 😭

This was a travel day: it was time to leave Hokkaido and go somewhere new on our powder chasing agenda. We flew @japanairlines to Iwate-Hanamaki airport in the Tohoku region (Honshu island), and will base ourselves in the city of Morioka for the next 7 nights.

Unfortunately I caught a cold and so I haven’t been feeling 100% the last couple of days 🤒

Yet umm it doesn’t mean I’ve stopped doing cool stuff so the media is piling up 😂

Right stay tuned for more updates from Honshu - super excited for this next part of our snowboarding road trip across Japan!!

❄️🏂🇯🇵 DAY 10: Tomamu Ski Resort / Hoshino Resorts Tomamu @hoshinoresorts.tomamu

We loved this place so much last year and so it HAD to be on our 2026 itinerary as well..

It was mostly sunny the whole time we were there but there was still some ok powder to be had in the tree run area if you look hard enough. Ricardo is a fearless explorer and I follow along 😅

In the evening we went to the Ice Village to try the outdoor ice rink - it was way too snowy to do it last year - it was a lot of fun despite the surface being suuuper uneven/bumpy 😃

I should really make a separate post about how incredible Tomamu is; I’ve got so much content from last year when we went snowmobiling, snow rafting, and had ice ramen etc. Unfortunately for now those remain in my media cemetery (YouTube video is in the making though). I need more motivation!!!

We also returned to the dinner buffet at the resort dining hall because of those crab legs. And sashimi. And cod carpaccio. For €30 a person it felt like a steal!

🚗❄️🇯🇵 DAY 9: Today was a chill day - our bodies definitely needed a day off after snowboarding for 5 out of the last 6 days 😮‍💨

Said goodbye to Niseko and made our way to Tomamu on the east side of Hokkaido. We split up the 3-4 hour drive by adding a little stop at Lake Shikotsu, stumbling upon the cutest little cafe:

📍 Cafe Lunch Store Hoo-Hoo

Soup curry was 8/10. Still can’t beat Syabazo in Sapporo but this place has wins on views and vibes.

There was a resident hawk sitting inside and some free roaming little zebra finches 🥰

The rest of the drive was pretty uneventful besides a couple of deer sightings. I’m writing from our cosy room in Tomamu right now; I need to get to sleep as tomorrow’s a big day!

🚗❄️🇯🇵 DAY 9: Today was a chill day - our bodies definitely needed a day off after snowboarding for 5 out of the last 6 days 😮‍💨 Said goodbye to Niseko and made our way to Tomamu on the east side of Hokkaido. We split up the 3-4 hour drive by adding a little stop at Lake Shikotsu, stumbling upon the cutest little cafe: 📍 Cafe Lunch Store Hoo-Hoo Soup curry was 8/10. Still can’t beat Syabazo in Sapporo but this place has wins on views and vibes. There was a resident hawk sitting inside and some free roaming little zebra finches 🥰 The rest of the drive was pretty uneventful besides a couple of deer sightings. I’m writing from our cosy room in Tomamu right now; I need to get to sleep as tomorrow’s a big day! [snowboarding road trip in Hokkaido Japan, lake shikotsu, Japan travel, daily travel diaries]

🇯🇵🏂 DAY 7 + 8!!

Just spent two days snowboarding in Niseko, arguably the best resort in Hokkaido in terms of snow quality and terrain. It’s popular for a reason!

We loved it here last year and this time was no different, except now we could focus our energy in our favourite areas of the @nisekounited group of resorts: Hanazono and Hirafu. Truly magical powder skiing and tree runs ✨

Gonna be sad to leave tomorrow but we’ve got so many more resorts (old and new) to check out. I will be reporting back!
