Climb the northernmost of Japan’s Top 100 peaks.

Rishiri Island’s most popular tourists spot is the northernmost of Japan’s “100 top peaks,” Mt. Rishiri. The mountain is located almost in the exact center of the island, and is known as “Rishirifuji” because of its beautiful form.
There are two mountain trails, both of which take approximately 6 hours up and 4 hours down.
Although it is a slightly long climb, the 1,721-meter summit affords panoramic views of Rishiri’s expansive natural environment.

The best place to view Mt. Rishiri’s magnificent form is from Himenuma Marsh. As well as being able to view the peak from the best angle, on clear days, an inverted Rishirifuji can be seen reflected on the surface of the water. In addition, Rishiri’s largest marsh, Otatomari Marsh is also a point from which to view Mt. Rishiri’s beautiful form.
The packaging of the famous Shiroi Koibito confectionery features an illustration of a snow-capped Mt. Rishiri as seen from the observatory in the vicinity of Otatomari Marsh. Why not take a box and compare the views yourself?
