Flashback - 2013 Rishiri and Rebun Islands
Rishiri and Rebun 2013
Going through old files on the computer and stumbled on pictures I had taken with a phone while in Japan in 2013. These are from Rishiri Island and Rebun Island, both of which are beautiful hikes. I made the mistake of doing them barefoot....

| Mt. Rishiri rises out of the North Japan sea. Accessible by ferry from Wakkanai |
 |
| Getting lost... |
 |
 |
| The peace and tranquility of the forests were a very nice difference to the chaos of Tokyo |
 |
| As you get higher the soil takes on a very nice deep red color |
 |
| Above the clouds |
 |
| the summit of Mt. Rishiri |
 |
| It had been a steady downpour for the whole day. I was wet, cold, and exhausted |
 |
| Emergency shelter - luckily I only used it a bit to change my clothes. The hikers behind me must have used it as the weather took a huge turn for the worst very quickly. |
 |
| Yum....2 day old Konbini dinner |
 |
| Beautiful morning after the storm had passed |
 |
| Island hopped to Rebun - breathtaking sights and fresh air |
 |
| Meandering roads....wished I had my bicycle |
