Seafloor Surveys sent Scott and me to Japan in 1999. We spent the entire summer there, mostly offshore on a research vessel. We were working on the Shakolin pipeline marine survey, which gave us a lot of time on land. The main cities were Hakodate, and a small town called Ohata. One weekend, we took a bus to a small mountain town called “Toya Ca” to see the Showashinzan active volcano. Here are some photos I dug up when cleaning out an old hard drive.
