Hakodate to Otaru

Turning off the main road with rumbling tummies, we chanced upon this Swiss look-a-like house

and a lovely cafe run by two charming ladies.

The toilet was worth a visit.  You have to know that this is the first stone age toilet we have visited in Hokkaido.  Every other toilet has been so high tech that they have an instruction manual on how to use them conveniently (get it?) pasted on the wall beside you to read as you sit contemplating the meaning of life.

This one had its own unique feature, a basin in the top of the cistern. The water you use to wash your hands provides the next flush.  This saves water where as the space age one wastes it.

The scenery around here is pretty nice too.
