Episode 12 - Road Station at Ashoroko

Road Station at Ashoroko

This is a road station (see Episode Eleven for more) near Ashoroko Lake, Hokkaido, Japan.

This station has a restaurant block (see 1st picture) and a shopping block (from where I took the photo). The buildings are perched on top of a small hill from where you can have a spectacular view of the Ashoroko Lake (see 2nd photo). The shopping stores sell, apart from souvenirs, locally manufactured articles, produce and food.

I bought some delicious Japanese style cheese curry. Unlike curry in other Asian countries, Japanese curry is sweet instead of hot.
