23 Chitose to Nakashibetsu - 25 June 2004

	Cruising at 7,500 ft
	Lake Kussharo
	Low visibility at Nakashibetsu

A longer flight at higher altitudes: 151 nm at 7,500 ft.

No major kerfuffles. I used instruments, which I then cross-referenced with landmarks from the map.

Majestic flight over mountains, then over the plain to the coast at Kushiro before turning northeast for the last, shorter leg to Nakashibetsu itself.

Some large lakes, Mashuko and Kussharo, to the north.

No ATC at airport to deny VFR landing clearance, but visibility was low so I dialed in the ILS frequency.
