On day 18 of our Tokyo to Hokkaido road trip, we get the RV spiritually cleansed by a local priest for safe travels in Shibecha. From there, we head down south to Kushiro, making a pit stop at Lake Shirarutoro, and then come to Kushiro’s Washo Market, a sprawling fish market. Despite the rainy day, we stroll to the Nusamai Bridge, admiring the riverfront and statues on Kushiro’s oldest bridge, and then head next door to the Fisherman’s Wharf MOO, the town’s main department store. After having a tasty birthday lunch for host mom, we make our way north to Lake Akan, and check into the hotel. Since we arrived later in the afternoon, all we did was go to the rooftop onsen and have a delicious dinner in the canteen, excited for the day’s plans ahead.
Thank you to everyone for watching and I hope you all had a nice holiday and a smooth transition into the new year! If you’d like to learn more about this trip, check out the complete road trip playlist with all the videos I’ve made thus far covering our trek from Tokyo, the heart of Japan, all the way out to Hokkaido’s eastern tip. Join us next time as we explore the surrounding Lake Akan, get some cool insight into the origins of marimo (spherical algae balls) and then as we check out a traditional dance of the Ainu, the indigenous peoples of Japan later in the evening!
