Day 4 Teshoi

We left Misakidai Park and followed the coast road via Embetsu to Teshoi where we decided to stop at a nice Rider House. It was only 11.00am and we had covered 28km, but our legs were tired from the previous long days. Where we stayed had camping, bungalows and rider house rooms. We opted for a rider room which is a room with a concrete floor, and little wooden platforms that fit together to make a sleeping platform or seating. We joined a group of 4 young English men who were watching England play Mexico on a small screen. They had also ridden from Sapporo. We visited a local restaurant and tried the local speciality, fresh water clam ramen. The clams were quite small and the soup quite salty, but it was nice.

These houses built into the ground with strong bamboo beams and thatched roofing with an earth floor.Read more
