    It took me over 5 hours to get to Wakkanai Sta. , and then I visited the Cape Soya.

      They are not extreme for that area. It is snowy for the most part of the year. If they don't offer the service when it snows then they won't offer it for about 6-7 months every year.

    Great video, Kuga-san! A part of Japan not usually seen, and I appreciate the geographical references - I knew that the tip of Hokkaido was just across from Sakhalin Island, but didn’t know it was *that* close.
    Beautiful backcountry, until you get near the sea - then it’s rather forbidding, even ominous. Reminds me of the Aleutian Islands off of Alaska.
    The deer are worth the two minutes behind schedule ❤️😁!
