The Northern Territory of Japan !

by Kazu

From Shiretoko Pass, one of Kuril Islands, Kunashiri Iskland of the Northern Territory of Jaspan could be seen in the direction of the southeast of Shiretoko Peninsula on that day. It was so windy and a little bit cold on the Pass.

A few automobiles were there on the parking lot for the lookout. The pass was covered with snow until the end of June and opened every year. But I could not find large busses for so-called "bulk tour" this year.

Our island Hokkaido is facing the Northern Territories Etorofu, Kunashiri, Kunashiri <
Habomai and Shikotan islands.These islands were currently ruled by Russia illegally. Famous Jenny Dixon said that Kuril Islands would not come back to Japan and would become the international area where many countries would share the gifts from God.
