June’s Postcard, JR Hanasaki Line 🛤

This month I’m putting the Hanasaki Line (Bettoga Station) on the card to show support. I loved my time in Nemuro last week and will be making a main channel episode of the train 🚊 it’s an old town one-man car, Nemuro to Kushiro through forests, marsh, along the Pacific and part open pastures - often full of dairy cows 🐄 🥛 I’ll send them out before June 10th. Stamps to be announced soon!
