Description: Patreon - Patreon.com/adventure T-Shirts - teespring.com/stores/adventure-archives-merchandise Continuing the journey to Cape Soya, the northernmost point in Japan, I woke up at a hostel in Sapporo. I then went to Sapporo Station to ride the Soya limited express train to Wakkanai, the closest city. Along the way, I was treated to a beautiful view of the Hokkaido countryside. After arriving in Wakkanai Station, I had to quickly board the bus to get to Cape Soya. This was the last bus I could take, because they don't run that often, and it would give me 30 minutes to see the northernmost point of the country. There were lots of different monuments there including the Monument of Peace, the Tower of Prayer, a statue of Mamiya Rinzo, and more. In the distance you could just make out the Sakahlin Islands, a part of Russia. I saw as much as I could, but the temperature was below freezing, so I took refuge in the bus shelter until the bus arrived. Afterwards, I got back to a hotel, then checked out the North Breakwater Dome in Wakkanai. Pretty cool structure, and added to the mystique of the frozen landscape. I then had a bowl of ramen at a little restaurant near the station called Hitoshi no Mise. Then it was time to go to sleep for one last leg of the journey, heading back to Tokyo, but stopping in Sapporo on the way.
