北海道札幌自由行 Day1｜奧芝商店湯咖哩、時計台、北海道神宮一日行程
Sapporo Day 1 Itinerary
Azuki / 2023.04
從散策開始，
到最後的道別。
到最後的道別。
其實背後還有一點私心：疫情期間看了 Netflix 日劇《First Love》，滿島光與佐藤健的演出，加上宇多田光的音樂與北海道雪景，讓我一直心癢。當時就想：「如果能再出國，我要去北海道看雪。」於是，這趟旅程就這樣定下了。
There was one more reason this trip happened, a personal one. During the pandemic, watching First Love on Netflix, Mitsuishi and Sato Takeru, Utada Hikaru's music, all that snow, something got stuck in my head. I told myself: first chance to travel again, Hokkaido.
That chance finally came.
The First Spring After the Pandemic
疫情後的第一個春天
凌晨的桃園機場，我們終於踏上這趟北海道之旅。Check-in 時，虎航小姐笑說我們姓氏拼音「很特別」。安檢時 Jack 手忙腳亂，把包包放錯地方，整條隊伍卡住，後面的人臉上全是「拜託快一點」的表情。飛機小、亂流多，只能靠眼罩睡了四小時。下機時胸章掉了，卻撿到50元旅行的開場就是這麼戲劇化。這趟日本之旅是疫情後的第一個春天，我們把久違的出國機會獻給北海道。機票只要約 NT$11,000，就決定衝一波。更幸運的是，遇上道南櫻花初始季節，與道東雪季尾聲，一趟旅行裡同時感受 雪與櫻花交錯的浪漫。
Taoyuan Airport at midnight. Check-in went smoothly until the Tiger Air staff smiled and commented that our surname romanization was "quite unique." Security was a different story. Jack put his bag in the wrong place, froze up, and blocked the entire line. The expressions on the faces behind us said everything that didn't need to be said out loud. Small plane, plenty of turbulence, four hours of sleep with an eye mask. Got off the plane, noticed the trip badge had fallen off somewhere, then found a 50 NT coin on the ground. Dramatic start, as expected.This was our first trip abroad after the pandemic, and we gave it to Hokkaido. Flights around NT$11,000, easy decision. We also got lucky with timing: cherry blossoms just starting in southern Hokkaido, snow still lingering in the east. Two seasons in one trip.
Soup Curry in Sapporo｜Okushiba Shoten
暖色調的午餐篇章：札幌湯咖哩初體驗
抵達札幌後，先不踩點，直奔人氣名店 奧芝商店湯咖哩。濃郁湯頭 + 份量十足的蔬菜 + 入味雞肉，辣度還能自由調整，對「辣度保守型」的我來說剛剛好。很久沒用日文，點餐全靠半吊子日文 + 手勢，簡直像在玩猜字遊戲。但第一口下去，瞬間有種「啊，終於回到日本」的錯覺。
Arrived in Sapporo and skipped the sightseeing. Went straight to Okushiba-shoten for soup curry. Rich broth, generous vegetables, well-seasoned chicken, and adjustable spice levels that worked perfectly for someone who considers themselves spice-cautious. Ordering involved broken Japanese and a fair amount of pointing, basically a guessing game. But the first spoonful landed and something clicked: this is what coming back to Japan feels like.

・Sapporo Clock Tower: Smaller in person than in photos, which somehow makes it more likeable. A landmark that works better as a brief stop than a destination. Address: Kita 1 Jo Nishi 2 Chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. Suggested time: 20 to 30 minutes.
・Hokkaido Shrine: We made it through the gates with about ten minutes to spare before closing. Address: 474 Miyagaoka, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. Suggested time: 40 to 60 minutes.

小提醒：札幌四月初白天約 5–10°C，晚上接近 0°C，記得帶防風外套與圍巾。
Quick note: early April in Sapporo runs around 5 to 10°C during the day and drops close to freezing at night. A windbreaker and scarf are not optional.
Yakiniku Dinner & Don Quijote Night
夜色裡的排版：燒肉、唐吉訶德
回住宿的公車上，Jack 用中文問司機：「這裡刷卡嗎？」司機當場愣住，臉上的表情歷歷在目。住宿不大但乾淨舒適，Check-in 過程全靠中英交雜才找到「門的密碼」，差點以為在玩密室逃脫。晚餐挑了燒肉店，點中文選項，結果螢幕還是全日文。我們靠圖片硬猜，最後點對了餐。再去唐吉訶德找手套，結果只剩「滯銷的兒童手套」。這一天，就在「亂局＋美食＋搞笑」中收尾。
On the bus back, Jack asked the driver in Mandarin whether they accepted card payment. The driver's face cycled through several expressions in quick succession. At the hostel, check-in required a combination of English, Mandarin, and some light decoding to locate the door code. Felt briefly like an escape room.
Dinner at a yakiniku place where the ordering screen was entirely in Japanese despite the menu listing a Chinese option. We guessed based on photos and got it right. Then to Don Quijote for gloves, where the only remaining option was a rack of undersized children's gloves in colors nobody had chosen. We left without gloves.

Reflection
Azuki旅行結語
札幌不像我想像中繁華，卻比預期更有溫度。旅行不怕出錯，反而那些突發插曲，才是回憶裡最鮮明的片段。
Sapporo wasn't what I expected, which turned out to be the best thing about it. Less flashy than I'd imagined, warmer in atmosphere than I'd anticipated. And every mishap, the security line, the bus driver's face, the gloves, ended up being the part of the day I'll actually remember.
