Rebun 2: More Wandering in the Wind
... leaving party for their send off. The hostel encourages you to leave your luggage at the hostel where it’ll be driven to the ferry port. In the meanwhile, you will be walking via the tunnel and the backend of the Flower road path to the terminal. It’s supposed to taken an hour (it’s really 40 minutes), but this gives the hostel an opportunity to really bid you goodbye. Everyone gathers outside to wave and shout, "Ittarasshai" (take ...

At the same time, the island is ...
Der nördlichste Punkt Japans
... ich, das Wakkanai auch eher ein kleines Dorf sein würde. Aber weit gefehlt: es ist eine recht grosse Stadt, die zwei Bahnhöfe benötigt. Einiges ist wohl auch dem Tourismus zu verdanken, denn Wakkanai ist ein prima Sprungbrett für Rishiri und Rebun, zwei Inseln vor der Küste und die russische Insel Sachalin.
