I was planning on renting a van a driving all around Hokkaido countryside to look to explore Ainu people, the native people do Japan. However I had an issue with my driving license and couldn’t rent the vehicle.
So I decided to head straight to my first destination and spend some time there.
Nibutani is a small district in the town of Biratori, on the Saru river. Over 80% of the residents here are Ainu, the highest percentage on the whole island.
