📍Hokkaido, Hime-numa A walking trail of about 1 km has been developed around Hime-numa, making it a course where you can easily stroll through the virgin forest. At night, it is a spot where you can see a beautiful starry sky. During the Taisho era, spring water was dammed and three swamps that existed at the time were combined into one to form Hime-numa. The name comes from the fact that Himemasu salmon were released into the pond. At the shop (rest house), we sell photos and postcards of the scenery, flowers, and birds of Rishiri and Hime-numa, as well as coffee made with spring water from Mt. Rishiri. There are no toilets on the shores of Lake Hime-numa, so be sure to use the toilets in the parking lot beforehand! #0yentravelJanuary2025

Cape Peshi, Rishiri Island and History and Culture When you come to Rishiri Island, seafood is the best thing to do, but since it's a historic island, we hope you'll also be interested in its culture. When you're taking the ferry from Oshidomari Port Ferry Terminal, we'd like to introduce you to some tourist spots and cultural spots that you can visit at the end of your trip!

It takes about 40 minutes to climb up and down. If it's sunny, you can see Sakhalin! The stairs are well-maintained, so you can climb even if you don't have sturdy shoes.

A shop selling freshly baked bread and authentic coffee in front of the ferry terminal. Why not try some coffee made with Rishiri's spring water?
