Introducing Rishiri-tō
A near-perfect cinder cone rising like a miniature Mt Fuji from the surrounding sea, Rishiri-zan (1721m) provides numerous hiking opportunities and stunning scenery. If you’re feeling energetic and have good footwear you can hike to the summit in a day. A road encircles the island and a bus service links the small fishing villages on the way.
