Dziwnow kara Kolobrzeg made musen ryokou o shimashita. Sore wa amari

I wonder what would happen to the names of these cities if they were
to be produced within Japanese phonological borders.

Let's see... Jibunubu and Korobujegu, right?
Oh, maybe I didn't allow for final obstruent devoicing.
Suggestions?

My guess is ジブヌフ JIBUNUFU or ジヴヌフ JIVUNUFU if you recognize vu,
and コウォブジェグ KOWOBUJEGU (or maybe one can spell it コヲブジェグ) — definitely not ロ/RO for Polish ł.
