Otaru, Hokkaido

Now in Otaru, Hokkaido. As far north as I’m going. Pretty town center, historic harbor area, good rail connections.

Hakodate 8:00 p.m. this evening (Monday), from Mt Hakodate.

Hiking Onuma National Park today (Monday). 40-minute train ride from Hakodate. Still winter in Hokkaido.

C, D. Post cards from Hakodate (Hokkaido). When you get these, you will have cards from all Japan’s main islands.

Honey, I’m home.

Boni-moriya department store, Hakodate, selecting everyday, made-in-Japan hashi for our kitchen.

I wonder which of C and D’s 5 bad words are represented here. Maybe all there?! (Sign in Hakodate market/restaurant.)

Now in Hakodate on island of Hokkaido. Closer to Russia (note the Cyrillic script) than S Korea.
