The Hokkaido self drive experience 5 北海道自驾假期体验



5. Rishiri Island and Wakkanai (with Video)

Wakkanai is a small fishing town at the northern tip of Hokkaido. This is not a foreign tourists attraction, and definitely not for Malaysia guided tour groups.

We wish to cover many corners and places of Hokkaido during our trip. The northern most destination attracted us to be here.

On the fifth day of our trip, we took a ferry (8:15 am) to Rishiri Island, about one and a half hour by ferry.

Upon arrival, we joined a group tour by bus. The guide spoke Japanese only.

Basically, Mt. Rishiri ( Mt Fuji look-a-like) is in the center of this small island. We made a three-hour round island trip ... and able to see Mt. Rishiri from every corner.

The main industries of the island are fishing and sea weeds (kelps).

Later in the evening, we were back at Wakkanai and visited a few tourist spots.

5. 利尻島及稚内 (有录影)


稚内是北海道最北的一个渔港城市。它不是外国游客必到之地,当然也不是马来西亚旅行团所到之处。

我们这趟行程,就是要寻幽探秘,尽量到北海道的每一个角落。日本最北的城市,吸引了我们的到来。

抵达了岛上之后,我们参加了一个团体巴士旅行,导游只说日本话。
北海道之旅的第五天,我们在早上八时十五分,乘渡轮到附近的利尻島游玩。

基本上,利尻島是日本海的一个小岛,中间有一座形如富士山的利尻山。我们的是一个三小时环岛游,不论到哪一个角落,都可以看到利尻山。

这里主要的工业是捕鱼及海草。

傍晚时候,我们回到稚内,参观了几个景点。
