Being able to see tropical plants in the northern climate of Hokkaido is a very special experience~ At the Hakodate Tropical Botanical Garden, stepping into the warm greenhouse feels like being instantly transported from Hokkaido to a tropical region. The garden has around 3,000 tropical plants representing about 300 species, including banana trees, breadfruit trees, and all kinds of colorful flowers. Another major highlight is the Japanese macaques bathing in the hot springs, available only in winter! Watching a group of monkeys soak comfortably in the hot spring with their eyes half-closed as they enjoy the warmth was simply too cute. I couldn’t help stopping to watch. It’s a fun and soothing attraction in Hakodate.

Shiseido Beauty Park
Shiseido Beauty Park is located by Shin-takashima Station on the Minatomirai Line. This interactive beauty facility operated by Shiseido is based on the concept of “Awaken the beauty within you with science connecting the skin, body, and mind.”
只要到東京銀座逛街，總習慣到資生堂專櫃看看有什麼新品上市，也喜歡親自試用各種保養與彩妝產品。沒想到在橫濱港未來還有如此特別的Shiseido Beauty Park！這裡不只是展示商品，更結合美容科技與互動體驗，設有肌膚檢測、創新美妝實驗室，還有結合美麗與健康概念的特色餐飲，以及充滿視覺震撼的藝術影像空間。最吸引我的是能從科學角度探索肌膚與身心的關係，顛覆傳統逛美妝店的體驗，資生堂愛好者絕對值得來訪！

ODORI BISSE
This commercial facility consists of five floors designed under the concept of "Northern Good Life." It consists mainly of well-known stores and shops from various parts of Hokkaido, where visitors can enjoy a wide range of genres such as food, sweets, shopping, and beauty.
冬季來到北海道札幌旅遊，當然不能錯過大通公園的銀白雪景~漫步在雪白的公園裡，雖然景色迷人，但室外寒風實在刺骨，於是趕緊躲進旁邊的大通BISSE商場取暖，順便逛逛街。這裡最有特色的是一樓的BISSE甜點街，集結KINOTOYA、町村農場等北海道人氣甜點名店，還有二樓的生活雜貨與咖啡店，可以慢慢挖寶。沒想到這裡竟然也有KINOTOYA冰淇淋！之前品嚐過一次就念念不忘，這次意外重逢，當然立刻買上一支，濃郁香醇的奶香入口即化，吃完真的好滿足！

Kirin iMUSE Immune Care Water
iMUSE, a brand born from Kirin’s more than 40years of research into immunity. iMUSE contains 100 billion units of Kirin Group’s formulated signature ingredient, liquid “plasma” probiotics. It's sugar-free and calorie-free, so it's not sweet, meaning you can keep drinking it every day just like mineral water.
這是一款很特別的飲品，裏頭還添加了獨特的乳酸菌成分，讓人補充水分的同時，也能兼顧日常健康保養。日本旅遊期間經常外食，蔬菜和膳食纖維攝取難免不足，偶爾補充乳酸菌也是不錯的選擇，有助於維持腸道機能。喝起來清爽順口，沒有太重的負擔感，無論逛街、搭車或走行程時隨手帶上一瓶都很方便，是旅行中兼顧補水與健康的小幫手！
