#Ferry #IslandHopping #IslandTrip
In the far north of Japan lies Hokkaido.
Off its northern coast in the Sea of Japan, the small island of Teuri is a global breeding ground for the seabird known as the Rhinoceros Auklet.
For two-thirds of the year, there is only one ferry per day, making day trips impossible except from early summer to early autumn.
We started our journey from Kitami City in eastern Hokkaido, covering approximately 295 km (183 miles) and taking about 6 hours by car and ferry.
Experience the wild cliffs with stunning views, the close encounters with flocks of seabirds flying overhead, and the simple yet delicious seafood unique to this remote island.
The ferry service can be unpredictable due to weather conditions, but Teuri Island offers a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts with a 3-night, 4-day itinerary even from Tokyo.
For those traveling from Tokyo to Teuri Island:
Tokyo → (Flight) → Sapporo
Sapporo → (Bus) → Haboro
Haboro → (Ferry) → Teuri
If you catch the bus departing from Sapporo Station at 6 PM, you can arrive in Haboro by the same night and take the ferry to Teuri Island the next day. Definitely give it a try!
