Arriving in the previous capital of Hokkaido Island !

by Kazu

Kamome Island could be seen clearly from the seaside road to Esashi Town in Hiyama Sub-Prefectural area of Hokkaido. I had lived there for three years and half until March of 1994.

Previous national route of the town was remodeled and revitalized. The road was expanded but the old historic wooden houses were preserved.

Precisely speaking, these old houses were moved from the coast to landfill and build the new national road. They were dissolved and each part was numbered precisely, moved to the upper side and rebuild.
