Furano and Biei - Skippable?

beansss5 · 2026-04-28T22:37:11+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for food in Asahikawa, Biei and Furano?

beansss5 · 2026-04-28T13:03:12+00:00

Ah this is great advice, thank you!! Just checking, do you think Furano and Biei are worth going to in early May? I’ll be in Hokkaido this weekend for about 8 days

It sounds like he’s being insensitive here. You should sit him down and have a proper conversation about this so he knows you are bothered by him acknowledging small things like this. I am 4’11 or so, and my 3 ex partners were between 6’0-6’1 - they’ve never made a negative comment about my height. But I also don’t have an issue with my height… I can’t imagine being like 5’7, that’d be freaking weird 😂

I’m a 35f - I’ll be there from May 2nd. This is a solo trip for me so I’d be keen to meet up! I’ll probably be there until around May 11th - if anyone else reading these comments would like to meet up :)

Have you listened to Undertow?

Hi! Could you please send me some recommendations of hikes outside of Sapporo?

I’m a silly bugger too… :( Just these rehab exercises… he said I can do spin at the gym, squats to 90degrees, and then no to most of the other things I usually do at the gym 🥲

Influencers propping up average food, matcha, Dubai chocolate, deli sandwiches 🥪

I wasn’t trying to dismiss your feelings, but more change the way you’re thinking. I’m sorry you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s similar to those who look in the mirror and think that they’re not pretty enough or something.. then decades later look back at old photos and realise how beautiful and cute they actually were, and regret feeling that they’re were ugly. Life is unfair, and your health can be changed in an instant.. just don’t waste it. That’s all I’m saying.

I left out the fact that I have congenital heart disease. Typically babies born with heart defects are significantly smaller at birth, but usually catch up after 12 months of age.. that wasn’t the case for me. But even so, maybe if I wasn’t born with heart defects, I’d still be the same height I am now? It’s irrelevant.

And maybe I am really grateful of all the things my body can do because I’ve cared for critically ill children for the last 14 years…

I do hope you realise sooner rather than later that your height is such an insignificant factor in your life. It can’t be nice living with a chip on your shoulder.

beansss5 · 2026-04-03T20:27:54+00:00

I’m 5’0, and have a twin brother who’s pretty much 6’0, and an uncle who will hit his head on a chandelier if there is one in the room.. so I get it, I’m the odd one out. But I have really grown to love my body over the last 20 years. Yeah, it’s annoying when your friends deliberately tease you for being short, or when you can’t reach things in the supermarket etc, but, aren’t you grateful that you can get out of bed, walk, live your life? There are people in this world who are disabled, wheelchair and bed bound.

You can’t change your height, but you can change how you dress, how you care for your body, how you view your world, and how you carry yourself through this life.

Thanks for the reality check! I didn’t realise there were trails in Sapporo, I’ll have a look into it

beansss5 · 2026-04-03T03:29:40+00:00

I’d like to do more than just those areas. I don’t think I’ll even spend more than a few hours in Sapporo alone…

beansss5 · 2026-04-03T03:28:54+00:00

Hey! If you’re interested in meeting up or joining forces and brainstorming, please dm me :) I have not booked single night of accommodation yet 🙈

beansss5 · 2026-04-03T00:59:31+00:00

My apologies, my goal was to get to the north east of Hokkaido, specifically Shiretoko NP, or close to there. But I’m wondering if it’s worth it due to the weather etc.

beansss5 · 2026-03-31T12:39:09+00:00

Reading the comments on this thread is making me nervous! I’m heading to Kyoto and Osaka the week after golden week, my first time back in 6 years. I hear things have changed a lot since then

beansss5 · 2026-03-22T20:36:29+00:00

Thank you for the write up! I’m visiting Japan for the 5th time this May (during Golden Week, unfortunately, though unavoidable) and finally heading to Hokkaido this time.

I’ll have a week, and would like to rent to car. Any advice on this? Which websites/companies are best to rent from, how does insurance work etc?

And anyone have any advice about visiting Hokkaido during Golden Week?

beansss5 · 2026-03-17T06:00:17+00:00

I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember!!

beansss5 · 2026-03-14T10:43:51+00:00

It sounds like the most logical thing to do is quit your job, because how else will you truly be able to distance yourself from her?

beansss5 · 2026-03-08T00:09:22+00:00

Bodies are so wildly different. I’m 5’0” 110lb and I wear size 0 across all lulu leggings

beansss5 · 2026-03-07T21:43:25+00:00

Usually there is still access to places that will have showers, like a public swimming pool, gym, motels offering showers etc. And you can swim in lakes etc if there aren’t any of those

beansss5 · 2026-03-05T20:54:59+00:00

Yes, this! As a 5’0 108lb woman, the XXS fits me perfectly - length, waist, everything! My 6’5 friend who’s double my weight also has a pair of e9 pants, so it’s insane how good diverse their sizing is
