The train took 1 hour from Sapporo to Asahikawa. Then, I was supposed to take another train to Wakkanai, the northernmost train station in Japan. I couldn't find the platform for the train, and the train was leaving in 10 minutes. I had no choice but asking the staff with my lousy Japanese.
"Execuse me, where is the platform for this train?" I pointed the connecting train reservation on my ticket.
"All the trains to Wakkanai have been suspended today and tomorrow. It was broadcast on the news..."
WTF? My trip to the easternmost town was suspended due to the weather last month, so I checked the forecast daily before departure. No rain but the train suspended again?
