At Kamui-misaki (as I think the name should be read), the main road goes straight; I curved left around the very nice rugged peninsula. A local woman with freshly harvested vegetables in her bicycle basket cycled alongside me for part of the way; I guess I was enjoying the view and wasn’t going very fast.
At times even Hokkaido seems pretty much like the rest of Japan. This photo could come from any coast on any Japanese island... until you look more closely at the plants growing in the water and by the shore, and then it looks very different.
