北海道7日間の旅③稚内・小樽の歴史や食を紹介（旅20～21日目）【散策動画】
This is the third part of a 7-day trip to Hokkaido.This time we will introduce Wakkanai and Otaru.At the end of the video, we will also talk about the long train journey.On the 6th day of the trip, we will go to Wakkanai, the northernmost area.At
9 o’clock, we will take the limited express Soya. It took me 3 hours and 40 minutes to head to Wakkanai.I traveled in early April, but it was still winter in Wakkanai, so there wasn’t much to do in sightseeing, but since I came to Asahikawa, I had to go
. I didn’t think I would ever go there, so I decided to go there. From the train window, I could only see trees, rivers, and leftover snow, but it was a nice view that gave me a sense of what kind of place Hokkaido is.
When I think of the efforts that were made to carve out these places and develop Hokkaido, I can really feel the hardships that went into it. Well, I arrived at Wakkanai Station around 12:30.It’s the northernmost station in Japan.I
Looked into what kind of town Wakkanai is, but it’s located at the northernmost tip of Japan, and the only major industries are fisheries, dairy farming, and tourism. The temperature was 8 degrees Celsius in early April.In Tokyo and Honshu, it was around 24 degrees Celsius.It was a sunny spring, and
Even in Sapporo it was 19 degrees Celsius, but in Wakkanai it was less than 10 degrees Celsius.Wakkanai Kohoku is about a 10-minute walk from the station. Go to the breakwater dome.The breakwater dome was built in 1933 as a terminal for regular ships between Wakkanai and Sakhalin.It
Was damaged by the waves, so it was renovated in 1985.It is a relatively new building.Before the war, South Sakhalin was Japanese territory. Wakkanai was the gateway to Sakhalin.It’s cloudy, but if it’s sunny, you can see Sakhalin, Russia.It’s only 43km away, and this 40km distance is from Tokyo Station to Hachioji City, Saitama
, Kawagoe City, and Ibaraki. Distance from Toride City, Chiba’s Sakura City, and Kisarazu City.The sightseeing spots in Wakkanai are Breakwater Dome, Cape Noshappu, and Cape Soya.But since I have the opportunity, I will also go to Cape Noshappu.The bus time was not right, so I walked for an hour.It is
The best in Japan. I gave up on going to Cape Soya, which is known for its northernmost location, because the bus schedule didn’t match.It took 7 hours to walk from Wakkanai Station, and I couldn’t really walk.It was so cold that my mask got wet.Even
When I looked it up, I couldn’t find much information. The other day in Wakkanai, I stopped by the Karafuto Memorial Museum and it said that Wakkanai is a place where drift ice flows, but the number has decreased in recent years.Drift ice
Has a lot of plankton, and fish come looking for it, so if the drift ice decreases, the fishing industry will be affected. In addition, Wakkanai was a place where people repatriated from Sakhalin were accepted after the war.The
Memorial museum says that after the war, 90% of the people living in Wakkanai were people who had fled from Sakhalin. We walked for an hour from the station that was on display and arrived at Cape Noshappu.It is famous as a place where you can see the beautiful sunset over the sea.The
Shop that is popular for its sea urchin bowl in summer is not open at this time of year.There is another famous shop online. So, it was open during the day, but when I visited, I was told that it was open from the evening.There
Were surprisingly few people when it was open, so that must be it.Now, I returned to the station and walked south on the other side to Wakkanai sub-port. I came to a place called the market. It’s 15 minutes from the station. I heard that ginkgo grass is a local specialty, so I bought it.
It cost about 650 yen. It’s a natural seaweed that is harvested in Wakkanai from January to March during the severe cold season. This is a luxury item called ears, which is harvested by hand by fishermen during the cold mid-winter period.
Most of this seaweed can only be harvested on the Sea of Japan side of Hokkaido, making it highly rare and valuable, and production has been decreasing in recent years due to weather and other factors. It has
A faint aroma of the ocean, and has a crunchy texture when added to vinegared dishes or salads.You can enjoy the melty texture when added to miso soup.In one corner of the building is the Wakkanai City Sakhalin Memorial Museum, a free facility celebrating 40 years of Sakhalin. You can learn about its history.In
1905, with the peace treaty of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan ruled Sakhalin for 40 years, building railways, mining coal, and laying submarine cables. However, that all disappeared due to defeat in the war.One interesting thing about the exhibit was that foxes were kept in Sakhalin.There
Was a fox farm where foxes imported from America and Canada were raised and their skins were made. The fox skins were sold to Russia.The fox skins were used to make Cossack hats and clothes and were sold at high prices, making a profit.Now, we will
Take the train to Sapporo just before 6 o’clock in the evening.The ride will take about 5 hours. The train was delayed due to a long collision with a deer and the removal work. Riding the train every day is getting more and more tiring, so this day’s delay was especially bearable.
Then, we arrived at Sapporo Station just after 11 o’clock. On this day, I stayed at an internet cafe.I think it was the Kaikatsu Club’s Sapporo Station South Exit branch, and it was a great place to stay for a cheap price
As it had a private room and a shower.On the seventh and final day, I took the Seikan Ferry from Hakodate and returned to Aomori. However, we will take a sightseeing tour of Otaru on the way . It took less than an hour to get to Otaru from Sapporo.
Otaru is a port city that prospered for its port, railway, and herring fishing. Until 1920, it was a town with a larger population than Sapporo. First, we will take a look at the old Temiya Line, which is famous as a tourist spot.It is on the way from the station to the port.It is
The site of the first railway in Hokkaido, the third in Japan, which was built from here to Sapporo in 1880.The Meiji government In order to use Hokkaido’s rich underground resources as the driving force for modernization, they built the necessary railways for transportation.The
Information board says that American technology was imported for the railways.When you go out to sea, there is a pier.Cruise passenger ship In the past, various goods were transported to Otaru Port and Otaru flourished as a port city.In the Meiji era, coal from the Ishikari coalfield was loaded here and shipped to various places.Also,
Like Hakodate, it was also used as a port city. It was also a gateway to development.In the Taisho era, coal, wood, and agricultural products were shipped all over the country.It also became a trading base with southern Sakhalin and northeastern China, and became a place for exporting beans to Europe.From the Sino-Japanese
War onwards, it became a place for exporting beans to Europe. The economy was booming until World War II, and many goods were shipped and exported, and during the Taisho era, cargo increased and the wharves became crowded, and there
Was a shortage of land for warehouses and government offices, so the Otaru Canal was built.This was in 1923, 1923.This is Otaru. This warehouse is made of timber-framed stone, which is inexpensive and has excellent fire resistance.Soft stone is fixed to the internal wooden pillar and beam framework with metal fittings such as glazing.In the
Exhibition at Canal Museum, strong winds blow in Otaru in the spring, causing large fires. For this reason, many timber-framed stone buildings were built from the late Meiji period onwards. Timber-framed stone warehouses were suitable for storing goods as they were cool in the summer and warm in the winter
. It was also a town that prospered for herring fishing, and until around 1920, herring was often caught near Otaru. Shimekasu made from herring was used as fertilizer for cotton, mandarin oranges, indigo, and safflower in the Tohoku, Hokuriku, China, and Shikoku regions
. Even today, it is an important base for maritime transportation both domestically and internationally, but in terms of the economy, there is a strong impression that the tourism industry is strong.As many tourists can visit on a day trip from Sapporo,
Service industries such as dining and souvenir shops are thriving. It can be said that the town is built on wholesale and retail businesses.There are over 100 sushi restaurants in the city, so it is called the sushi town.Speaking of souvenirs, Otaru Glass on Sakaimachi Street is famous.
Otaru has a history of thriving glass industry after the mid-Meiji period, when oil lamps and floating balls used for herring fishing were made.Speaking of Otaru beer, I personally like Pilsner and was looking forward to it, but I was not feeling well after the long trip.
Kamaei kamaboko is also famous in Otaru.It is a long-established kamaboko maker founded in 1905, 1905.Pandome, which is available only at the factory’s direct sales store, is popular.This one is made by adding beaten eggs, bacon, cheese, and onions to the surimi. It is a dish wrapped in thin bread and fried.
Enjoy the flavor of bacon and smoked meat. When freshly made, it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it popular among locals. That’s right, the kamaboko with sausage inside was also delicious. After sightseeing in Otaru, we returned to Sapporo Station and
Had our last meal in Hokkaido at Sapporo Esta . Esta will close on August 31, 2023 due to the redevelopment of the station, and you can find it here. Although the restaurant was closed, I was able to eat seasonal ingredients unique to Hokkaido at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant Shikisaitei.When I
Traveled in April, I had spring herring, scallops with shellfish, abalone, and atka mackerel. It was in season, but this place was also closed, but the roasted sesame miso ramen from Yoshiyama Shoten in Ramen Republic was delicious and a little different from the usual miso ramen.Well, the typical
Hokkaido trip was over and I headed to Sapporo. From the station, take Hokuto 14 and head to Goryokaku Station. At Goryokaku Station, walk 30 minutes the same way you came. Go to the Seikan Ferry Terminal. Take the 6:00 pm ferry and head for Aomori Port, a 4-hour journey. On the way back, take
A different boat than the one you went on. However , it was a lonely road from the time we arrived at Aomori Port to the station.We then stayed at a local internet cafe near the station and finished our Hokkaido trip.It was a long week.Finally
, we used the Hokkaido Free Pass trip. I would like to share my impressions.I hope this will be helpful for those who are going on a long trip around Hokkaido or by train.The trip to Hokkaido was really tiring.I traveled before and after that, but the 7 days in Hokkaido were especially
Tiring.Train The time on the train was long and it was tough.I realized how difficult Hokkaido is when I traveled around Japan by train 8 years ago.At that time, I
Traveled on the Hokkaido & East Japan Pass, which did not allow me to use limited express trains, so most of the day was spent traveling in Hokkaido. I was on a train for 8 hours and 10 hours, and it was so
Tiring that I gave up on the trip and ended the trip midway.Since I made a mistake that time, I decided to take the express train this time and try my best to avoid getting tired again at an internet cafe. Instead, I
Decided to stay at a hotel and take a soak in the hot tub, but I was still tired.I was more interested in Hokkaido and wanted to travel than when I traveled around Japan, and actually walking around was fulfilling and fun. Still, I was tired.The
Hokkaido Free Pass can be used for 7 days in a row, so you can travel for a whole week.I thought this would be recommended for refreshing after retirement or between job changes, but I decided to travel for a week. I realized once again that it’s difficult
To keep going on a long journey.As anyone who has ever gone on a long journey will understand, traveling every day is tiring.Humans naturally seek stability, so we go to a different place every day and a different place every night. It can be quite stressful to stay overnight,
And if you get stressed out, you ‘ll feel lethargic and stop thinking while riding the train.Thus, I don’t really recommend it, but for busy people, traveling all the time is a good idea . For people who are working hard, traveling by train
May be a good way to relieve fatigue.If I have a chance, I would like to talk about long journeys by train, including traveling around Japan . As I mentioned in the video, please be careful of bears when traveling in Hokkaido.I
Think it would be a good idea to check the information on bear sightings in advance on the websites of the Hokkaido Government Office and each municipality before deciding on your destination. Also, trains are often delayed due to contact with deer or bears
, so we recommend that you plan your schedule with plenty of time.By the way, as for travel luggage, a backpack of this size is enough for a one-week trip. That was enough for me.I put souvenirs in a tote bag and sent them via Yu-Pack if I had more.I
Was able to travel light.I only needed enough clothes for 3 days, including what I was wearing, and I stayed at a hotel, so my room was fine. This size was enough for me as long as I washed it once every 3 days.I hope this is also helpful.By
The way, when I traveled in spring, the Hokkaido Love 6-day excursion pass was on sale.6- day Jr. Hokkaido’s limited express It is a free pass that allows you to ride unlimited trains including express trains and use reserved seats up to 4 times at an extremely low price of 12,000 yen
. However, there is a set number of tickets to be sold, and once that number is reached, sales will end even during the sales period. You have to buy it at JR Hokkaido station the day before you want to use it.Although there are these
Restrictions, the price is still cheap and it’s a good deal, so I think you should try it if you have the opportunity.Let’s go to Hokkaido That’s all for the 7-day trip. Thank you for watching.
