Ino's proved to be a very pleasent hostel with the owners a young family both speaking excellent English and gueninly freindly. We checked in grabbed some tourist information dumped our stuff in our room and headed off to Coen.

The proprietor Mark was a missionary Kid raised here in Japan. He runs the cafe with his family hoping got connect with the Japanese using English. Hence the name of the place CO for connect and EN for English. interestingly 公園 in Japanese also pronounced COEN means "park"

Mark was very interested in our team comng to Sapporo and so were several of his regular customers whom we met that day. This picture shows Mark and his son Erin with Joon & me.
