I heard a report about challenging 'New Year's Eve Cape Soya' with a postal turnip at Machi Asobi vol.26



``Toshikoshi Soya Cape '', where you can see the first sunrise over the year at Cape Soya, the northernmost point of Japan, has become an event, and since 1988, Wakkanai City has launched fireworks under the title ``

First Sunrise in Top ''. . The main participants are two-wheelers (motorcycles and bicycles), and they travel across Hokkaido to welcome New Year's Eve at Cape Soya. In this event, the staff of Comics Wave Film, known for the production of `` Suzume no Tobari '', `` Weathering with You '', and `` Your Name '', experienced a challenge with the postal cub, a representative of `` working bikes ''. The story was told in Machi Asobi vol.26 .

Since it is a matter of life and death, if you specify the conclusion first , it is better to stop challenging Cape Soya with a postal cub on New Year's Eve .

The challenge was Mr. Mae Miyakogawa, who is in charge of system management at Comics Wave Film. Speaking of Comics Wave Film, it is a production company such as `` Suzume no Toshimari '', which is a blockbuster that mobilizes more than 10 million people and will be released in theaters on May 27, 2023. This talk event Is not particularly related to animation, Mr. Miyakokawa made this experience a gore Asobi related person, there was a reaction that it was 'interesting', and it seems that it was developed into a stage event.



Mr. Miyakogawa, who had longed for “Toshikoshi Soya Cape” since he lived in Tokushima, moved to Tokyo in 2018. I saw an article about New Year's Eve Cape Soya on 'Moto Touring' and saw the episode '

At the northernmost bus stop ' on NHK 'Document 72 Hours', and my enthusiasm increased, and at the end of 2021, I finally decided to take on the challenge.

Arriving in Otaru. Extend the leg shield to challenge Cape Soya on New Year's Eve. Together with the windshield, it is devised so that the wind does not hit the body directly.



The tire is a self-made spike tire. Mail delivery in snow country is done with chains, but according to Mr. Miyakokawa, it is a must-have equipment at the level that 'if you don't have spike tires, you shouldn't go.' In fact, it seems that people with tires whose pins became useless locally had a hard time falling over every time they turned a curve.



In addition, due to the problem of fuel consumption, a 10-liter gasoline can is installed to extend the cruising range.



The fuel consumption of the Postal Cub is normally about 30km/ℓ, but due to the weight of the equipment for New Year's Eve Cape Soya, it drops to about 22km/ℓ. In addition, there are cases where gas stations are closed, and Mr. Miyakogawa refueled from a portable can at Otoineppu on the way from Asahikawa to Toyotomi, and on the way from Cape Soya to Rumoi, on the way to Cape Soya for New Year's Eve. are doing Due to the weight, the speed did not increase, and the schedule became tighter than planned, and when we arrived at Rumoi, the gas station was on the verge of closing, and the fuel level was very low.



Also, since it will be running below freezing, for example, if you buy guarana, drink about half of it and put it in the box, when you try to drink it next time it will be frozen and you will not be able to drink it.



Whiteout, an enemy that plagues driving on snowy roads. He said that he could not understand where he was running at all, and if he stopped as it was, there was a danger that he might be rear-ended by a following car, which was scary anyway. Since there is nothing we can do about the whiteout, we have no choice but to take countermeasures such as adding tail lamps and reflectors to warn the rear. Confirm safety and gently wait for it to settle on the side of the road.



Below, it seems that the sky is clear and bright at first glance, but when you actually run, it will be in a state of 'you can see the sky but you can't see the road surface'. You can't do this on your own either.



After overcoming hardships, the Post Office Cub stands at Cape Soya, the northernmost point in Japan.



'Achievement' is not the goal, but 'New Year's Eve', so we set up a tent. Many other tents are also set up.



And happy new year. I was able to welcome the new year's eve. From here, there is a route to return to Otaru via Rumoi and Asahikawa via the Ororon Line.



At the event venue this time, the actual car used for New Year's Eve Soya Cape was displayed. Since the windshield has been removed, it is different from the appearance at the time of the New Year's Eve Soya Cape challenge.



After trying it, Mr. Miyakogawa concluded that ``New Year's Eve Cape Soya is not something to go with a postal turnip.'' In addition, regarding the opinion that 'drivers are kind in Hokkaido', if you see a motorcycle or bicycle with a license plate number from another prefecture running on a snowy road, stay away as much as possible so that you do not get caught if something happens. He also said that it is only natural to run with the rider, and it is not gentle, but the movement of self-defense is just visible to riders and charriders.



In addition, more detailed parts of the equipment and many photos are published in the book 'New Year's Eve Soya Cape Experience by Postal Turnip'.
