Day 5

Wakkanai -> Hamatonbetsu
Distance: 100km
We left Wakkanai and headed east along Hokkaido's northern coast on what was our first real day in the saddle and my first time ever to cycle into triple figures. First stop was Soya Cape - Japan's nothern most point and the official start to our transnational route. An unremarkable spot except for the crowds of travellers taking the requisite photos and buying the requisite souvenirs. Camping tonight by a pretty lake with the Ainu name of Kuccharo.
