"What does Kushiro remind you?" Most typical answer to this question will be "fog" and "marsh." As I often mentioned in this blog, Kushiro is a wet and cool place and it has been so before the human age. Owing to this characteristic weather condition, the ancient bottom of the sea around Kushiro didn't fully parch and formed a vast, flat and wet land. This is the origin of Kushiro Marsh. I ride on a bicycle and go around the city almost every day and it's very pleasant because everywhere is flat. This is the picture of the steepest slope in Kushiro which doesn't seem steep to me because I know hundreds of steeper slopes in Tokyo. A postman's small motorcycle was just coming up the slope very easily.
