#Travel itinerary I have a mini-trip within the trip, 1 night 2 days Memanbetsu IN Monbetsu OUT by domestic flight in Japan. I returned to Monbetsu to use the 47th airport in Japan. In March, the limited express Okhotsk weekday operation was reduced by 50% with the Diamond account, so my schedule became very varied.🤣 I will stay at Kitami. I will leave my suitcase at Memanbetsu Airport and take a limousine bus to Abashiri. I will also visit Shibazakura Park in Abashiri by bus and taxi. I will eat at Michi-no-eki and go to Memanbetsu Airport via Abashiri and go to Kitami. I will go to Starbucks, the northernmost Starbucks in Kitami. Since there is no transportation to Kitami between 7 and 10 AM, I will leave for Engaru at 6 AM. I will go to the Pokemon Manhole in Abashiri and Monbetsu. Thanks to DIA💎, I am forced to tour Monbetsu, where I only stayed 5 years ago. The trip continues somehow. I am heading from Monbetsu to Haneda. Thank you. #JapanTravel #1Night2Days #HokkaidoTravel #MemanbetsuAirport #MonbetsuAirport #Kitami #Abashiri
