As we went up north on the Tsugaru Peninsula, it got sunny. When we got to Cape Tappizaki on a finger of the Tsugaru Peninsula, it was completely clear.
The photos are of me and the radar facility of the Japan Self-Defence Force with the Tsugaru Straits behind. We saw Hokkaido in the hazy distance. There is an undersea railway tunnel under the Strait, which is called the Seikan tunnel, the longest railway tunnel in the world. The technique that was used in the construction of this tunnel was used in the construction of the undersea tunnel under the Straits of Dover, I heard.
