Noboribetsu

I got on the bus from Asahidake going to Noboribetsu. I had to transfer and wait for a long time before the train going to the town my hotel was in arrived. I got off the train and walked across the highway and got to my really high-class hotel that I got for cheap because of the pandemic. I had such a huge room all to myself, a traditional Japanese room with tatami flooring and a comfortable futon. I lazed about here for a while before deciding to go for a long walk to the nearby beach.

The path towards the beach was slowly being clamed back by nature as the concrete road soon became more lush with greenery and insects were all over. I got to the beach and was pleasantly surprised to find it empty. I sat down near the edge of the water and Zenned out for quite some time. Watching the sunset under the horizon and reminiscing about my life. I also tried going up to see the nearby light house and got another nice view of the sunset. The day became even better as a guy came by with five dogs tailing about, running around the beach. Now, I would have been happy with just one dog, but having so many dogs running around, it really made my day. The owner was very kind and we talked some. I also was able to get really good photo opportunities with them. I went back after it started to get dark.

I jumped in the onsen and went back fully refreshed and relaxed. I got some snacks from the convenience store and watched Mulan with Janelle before going to bed.Read more
