There were no skid marks at the scene of a fatal collision between a truck and a bus in Hokkaido, suggesting the truck driver may not have hit his brakes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/06/20/national/hokkaido-bus-truck-collision-no-brakes/?utm_content=buffer183b3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #japan #trafficaccidents #japanesepolice #hokkaido

If you're ever in #Hokkaido, #Japan, make sure to visit the new National #Ainu Museum #Upopoy in Shiraoi! It's easy to get lost there for a whole day to learn, reminisce, experience, and change perspective. If you haven't heard about it's history before, Japan's northernmost island will not feel the same again.

See their website here:
https://ainu-upopoy.jp/

There are also many other places where it's possible to learn about Ainu culture and history - be sure to pay a visit!

when we were in #Hokkaido we actively looked for the #Pokemon manhole cover at Tomakomai (it involved a lot of walking) and then stumbled across the one at Abashiri completely by accident 😂 I was glad to encounter both types of ロコン/Vulpix 🥹💖
