This is Wakkanai!
This is Yoriko-san and me at Cape Soya in Wakkanai, Hokkaido!
The Northernmost point in Japan didn't disappoint with a temperature of -8 degrees Celsius and freezing-cold strong winds.
The trip was about 500 kilometers (one way) from Tsurui-Mura Village. We spent the night, tooks some time to look at some spotted seals in the morning and then headed back home.
Thankfully our friend Makoto-san was in the drivers' seat. It was a little scary when the high winds blew snow across the roads causing frequent white-out conditions.
Dangerous. (Abunai)
But exciting too. (tanoshikatta)

Yeah! I found you!
Thank you for finding me Ryoko. It sure was wonderful having you be a part of our life here in Hokkaido even if it was for only four days. Let's meet again...possibly in the Yukon!
Good luck with your dog sledding tour.
