Kiritappu – Kombu – Kushiro City 霧多布

Day 23, September 2016, Cape Kiritappu Wake up to a bright, sunny morning in Cape Kiritappu with panoramic views of the beautiful, blue bay dotted with small boats harvesting Kombu (Kelp seaweed). After breakfast (coffee, toast and yogurt – what else would you want?) We walk to a nearby lighthouse where the view of the ocean from the cliffs is magnificent.

Shiretoko 5 Lakes Ground Pathways-Brown Bears  知床五湖

Day 20, September 2016, Breakfast in the sunshine. Our folding camping table (Camper’s Collection) has proved itself perfect for our purpose. It folds neatly, to slip under the seat during the day; outside it is a good height and size to cook on or eat off and it fits easily inside the car to serve as a reading table or more importantly, a bar. Once all is packed, a daily task that takes about 30 minutes, we head for the Shiretoko 5 Lakes. Shiretoko-Goko Lakes Field House Our aim is to walk in the natural forest and enjoy the scenery around the lakes. To enter the heritage forest, it is […]
