Distance: 245km
I had the bright idea for us all to get up at 5am to watch the sun rise over Kunashiri island from Rausu. I'm pretty sure the majority of the car wanted to murder me when I dragged them out of bed...that was until they saw it.
Party Boy Neil Gaiman Jr. was not impressed that we left him in Ben's apartment while we all went and watched the sunrise.
Howdy, pilgrim.
Just Watching. This was in the window of one of the many Shiretoko tour boat operators who told us it was far too wavy for them to tour us along the coast of the peninsula from Utoro. The boats are one of the few ways to see the wildest parts of the peninsula other than if you hike in.
Kevin: our third (fourth? Does Kyle's empty apartment in Nemuro count) and final ALT host for the four points tour, and one more member of our Toronto JET crew that set out for Japan back in August of 2009. He took us out to his favourite Izakaiya in his town of Okoppe, where they bake chickens whole and sling delicious pizza. They also told us that the only way we could see their full menu would be if Kevin recited it to us.
