Japan - 9 Oct. 2004

We took a midnight train from Asahikawa(旭川) to Wakkanai(稚内), arriving at around 7:00.
In the morning we join a local tour to Wakkanai park(稚内公園) near Wakkanai JR train station (稚内駅)and(宗谷岬) .
You can buy the local tour ticket at the bus terminal near the Wakkanai train station. It takes 3 minutes walk from the train station.
After lunch at the restaurant near the JR train station, we got into a ship to Rebun(礼文島). An Island on the west coast of the Wakkanai(稚内). Another Island Rishiri(利尻島).
Rishiri Island(利尻島) is the next place we will visit.
