I took a walk around Wakkanai City from Wakkanai Station.

Wakkanai City is the northernmost city in Japan with a population of about 32,000.

There used to be a ferry service between Wakkanai Port and Korsakov in Sakhalin, Russia, but it has been suspended since 2019.

The North Breakwater Dome, a landmark of Wakkanai, was built in 1936 and used as a pier for railroad liaison ships connecting Hokkaido and Sakhalin.
