Original Text

It is a monument in front of the breakwater dome to commemorate the opening of a connecting route between Wakkanai and Korsakov, Sakhalin. It was until the end of the war, so it seems that the period was relatively short, 22 years. For that reason, it was a pretty good monument.

A monument standing in the middle of the Wakkanai Kohoku Breakwater Dome. From 1923 to 1945, a railway connecting ship was operated between Wakkanai and Sakhalin's Odomari.

Original Text

In the first place, there was only a dome that was built at the Wakadomari route connecting ship, and it seemed natural to install the Wakadomari route monument. The inscription of the monument is jointly named by the director of the Asahikawa Railway Management Bureau and the mayor of Wakkanai, and it was clear that it was the route of the Jnr as well as the Seikan route.

It is １ that it is evidence that it was connected with Odomari (Sakhalin).

Original Text

[Points to be highly evaluated] It is transmitted to posterity that it was connected to Wakkanai and Odomari (Sakhalin). At that time, the railroad tracks extended to the current North Breakwater Dome (Wakkanai Pier Station), and it was connected to Sakhalin by a ferry. Let the bell ring. It is installed at a height that even a small child can ring.

It's a good idea to visit with the North Breakwater Dome.

Original Text

It is a monument commemorating the route that once connected Wakkanai and Sakhalin's Odomari, and there is a North Breakwater Dome, which is famous as a Hokkaido heritage site, in front of you, so it is a good idea to visit it at the same time. When I think about the time when the railway was extending to this side and the route was connected to Sakhalin, I couldn't help but hope for the revival of the ferry to Sakhalin, which is closed as of 2019.
