Adventurous times ahead. Snow blizzards, trains cancelled and an alert for a mega earthquake. Heading straight up on the Hayabusa shinkansen which famously travels through the world's longest undersea tunnel - 14.5 miles (the entire Seikan tunnel is over 33 miles in total). Reach the province of Hokkaido on the north island, staying in Hakodate for 3 days - marked with the yellow dot..blue indicates tsunami levels. I'm sticking close to that peninsular....

Hakodate 14/12/25 - 17/12/25

Full day just walking down to Cape Tachimachi. Interesting what you can stumble on.

Winding down now ready for a week skiing up in Niseko. Gentle stroll out through the fish market and a bit of shopping...
