Seasonal Advice
4
Although the snow begins to
melt from early April, it is still
rather cold through mid May.
It is wise to keep a coat with
you as well as wear rubber
shoes or boots to prepare for
melting snow water.
Summer is mild and can be
spent in short sleeved or
three-quarter length sleeved
shirts, but from September the
mornings and evenings are
cool. Winds are strong, so it is
advisable to carry a light jacket.

Ever since southern Sakhalin became Japanese property during the Japan-Russia War,

ceased to come and go between Wakkanai and Sakhalin, it has been a major port for
international trade. In 2011, the total number of international trade ships entering the port
came to over fifty thousand. In 1995, a regular route was established between Wakkanai and
Sakhalin, and the port has been taking more important role as a gateway to the northern area.

I'm a wild harbor

delicious Wakkanai Kelp,
so the bottom half of my
body turned into Kelp!
Please be my friend!
If you

please say

will make friends
