Mount Rishiri is one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains, and is located the furthest north. It is 1,721m in height, and thanks to its conical shape resembling Mt. Fuji, it also goes by the name Rishiri-Fuji. Starting from either Oshidomari or Kutsugata, there are two hiking trails up to the summit, both of which allow hikers to observe plenty of alpine flora on the way up.

The Rishiri-Rebun-Sarobetsu National Park is Japan’s northernmost national park boasting its varied landscape such as mountains, flower fields, sea cliffs, wetlands, and coastal sand dunes. Mt. Rishiri is a beautiful konide-type mountain, also known as Rishiri Fuji, which is a symbolic presence of the park. On the Rebun Island, alpine-flower fields, including valuable plants such as large-flowered cypripediums can be appreciated in low-lying areas. Along the coast of Bakkai and Wakasakanai, lakes and wetlands are scattered between rows of belt-like sand dunes, and they present rare scenery, together with dune forests of Quercus crispula Blume and Abies sachalinensis. Sarobetsu-genya has Japan’s largest high moor spreading on a mire, and it is also an important stopover site of migratory birds such as geese and ducks.
