After spending 4 months in Shikoku living in our van and in an old Japanese house, it was time to decide where to go next in Japan! Towards the end of June, the weather in Shikoku had started to get very hot and humid and to be honest, it became difficult for us to live comfortably in our van.<\/span><\/p>

Our original plan was to head to Kyushu after Shikoku but we knew Kyshu would also have very hot and humid weather during the summer months!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We weighed up our options and made the decision to head to Hokkaido, in the very north of Japan. We did some research and discovered that there is a ferry from Miazuru in Kyoto prefecture to Otaru in Hokkaido. The journey takes 21 hours and after checking the price, we decided to book a ticket!<\/span><\/p>

In this blog post, I will share the details about our experience on the Shin Nihonkai ferry to Hokkaido.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
