Junichi Watanabe wrote a beautiful and clean love story in his work "DriftIng Ice Love", a girl with a bland life, Misha, and the results of each blind date are always unsatisfactory. She decided to break free from the shackles of her parents' opinions and find her unforgettable true love. During her trip to Hokkaido to see drift ice, she was thrilled by a middle-aged man who had suffered severe emotional injuries and a dedicated drift ice researcher, Paper Valley. She decided to love this person desperately bravely, even if it was cold and hard, she did not want to stop her pace of love. The seaside of flowing ice, frozen snow locks, away from the tranquility of the world, pure and suffocating. The dark night lighthouse where the "dangerous lover" illuminates the path of Misa's love.
Every page of "Drift Ice Love" is so simple, beautiful, clean, every page makes people hope for a perfect ending, I got off the train in the bed, this special train has a name, called the "Drift Ice" train, the moment I get off the car, all the thoughts in my mind are Junichi Watanabe's "Drift Ice Love" work.
Every winter, when the drift ice in the Sea of Okhotsk comes, the train starts from Abashiri Railway Station. The reason why trains start with Abashiri is because every winter people run to the small city of Abashiri in Hokkaido to take icebreakers to the Sea of Okhotsk to see the drift ice. Drift ice is drift ice from Russia that drifts all the way down the currents of the Sea of Okhotsk.
Abashiri's drift ice boat is the Aurora, in fact, Hokkaido can not see the Northern Lights, And Abashiri can not see the Northern Lights, but the Name of their icebreaker by the Netshiri people is full of romantic feelings. Starting from the port of Abashiri, the icebreaker will travel through the Sea of Okhotsk for a while, accompanied by gulls and birds throughout the process, and some people know early that the gulls will go to sea with the icebreaker, so they prepare bread in advance, and when the ship reaches the endless sea, take out the bread to feed these cute birds.
When there is more time of drift ice, the boat will be surrounded by ice, if it encounters a season of less drift ice, most of the time it is just sailing on the surface of the rolling waves, although the ice is less, the beauty will not disappoint the traveler, the sunset on the sea will jump in front of you at a certain moment, accompanied by the unstable sea surface will melt everyone.
Drift ice trains are much more lively than drift ice boats, drift ice trains are very lively, each carriage is equipped with an old-looking coal-burning stove, the carriages have dried squid for sale, spend a little money to buy a dried squid directly to the stove to grill, wait a while the whole carriage will be shrouded in fragrance. In each carriage, you will see such a group of people around the stove, whether they know it or not, chatting about the scenery here, chatting about the stories of their own events, sometimes the conductors will stop to help the passengers grill squid together, and they will also talk about hokkaido they love.
The drift ice train ends its journey when it reaches Shiretoko, but the charm of Hokkaido Shiretoko has just begun.
