未だに稚内周辺。ここ3日程利尻島、礼文島に滞在しておりました。もともと行く予定ではなかったけど、追い風にのって予定より早く稚内に着いたから、行く事にした。せっかく利尻山を目の前にして登らないのももったいないし。ちなみに気温は26度。最高。でも地元の人達は暑い暑い言ってる。贅沢やな～
Still in Wakkanai area because I've been visiting Rishiri island and Rebun island. Was supposed to skip this part but since I got to Wakkanai couple days earlier than I expected. Also, really wanted to take a hike in Mt. Rishiri which is called flower mountain.
Here is just 26℃ besides Tokyo area is now about 36℃ these day.





初日は利尻島一周。ここ、利尻山を見ながら走れるサイクリングロードがある。これは気持ちいい。一般道路も交通量が少ないし、走り易かった～
First day, went to Rishiri island and biked around it. There is a bike trail about 20km which is very nice. Also, normal road was less traffic compare to main land of Hokkaido, Hokkaido island is much better than Tokyo area.




そんで2日目は登山。曇り。だけど山の上は晴れてて、花が綺麗だった。ここは頂上が1710mと比較的低いものの、緯度が高いから高山植物が沢山咲いてる。雲の上の花畑、何か天空の城ラピュタに出てくるような場所。
Day second, took a hike at Mt. Rishiri. It was cloudy down below but top half of it was sunny. This mountain is pretty short; 1710m, but can see a lot of flowers that grow on only high elevation. Because of that it is high latitude and humidity, many mountain flowers can be grown. So beautiful to see a lot of flower on top of cloud.it's like a one sean of "Rapyuta", one of famous Miyazaki movie.











そんで3日目は礼文島。あいにく霧で何も見えない。ここは年間を通して霧が多い場所で、緯度も高いから高山植物が道端に咲いてる。晴れてたらサハリンも見れるらしい。また晴れた時に来たいな～

ここでは今が旬の、島ホッケのちゃんちゃん焼きを食べる。これが美味い！唯一礼文島で良かった事かな。
Day 3, visited Rebun island. Unfortunately, its cloudy, but I heard that it's normal whether for this island. More humidity creates best condition for mountain flowers so more flower can be seen in unusual place like side of the road. Ate local food called, Chan cahan Yaki
