Introducing Rebun-tō
Shaped like an arrowhead (or a dock-dried squid), Rebun Island is a naturalist’s dream: fields of over 300 species of wildflower explode from May through to August; the terrain is varied and each walking track is unique; and the beaches harbour all sorts of cool finds, from interesting (and edible!) marine animals to semiprecious stones. Some people may wish to hire a scooter or motorcycle, as its one road leads past some gorgeous coastline.

The only main town is the small port of Kafuka, where the ferry arrives several times a day. From there several of the hiking tracks are within walking distance, and someone at the tourist information counter (86-2655; 8am-5pm mid-Apr–Oct) in the ferry terminal will point out the best routes or discuss your options in detail, as well as giving you maps and schedules.
