others like Phyllodoce caerulea, Corydalis ambigua,
Hemerocallis middendorffii and Cassiope lycopodioides are grown.
It is the best place to a person who doesn't have time for
a nature walk in the island.

Sweet dew fountain

When you walk toward Rishiri mountain trail, there is
"Sweet dew fountain" which was chosen as top 100 purest sources
of water in Japan.
Rain and the snow that falls in the Mt. Rishiri infiltrate
spending 20-30 years, and gush out as the natural water
of the abundant minerals.
It takes about 7 minutes on foot from the camping ground.
We recommend you to drink it.

Oshidomari port. From the top of it, you can see the whole
port of Oshidomari and the magnificent figure of Mt. Rishiri.

Hime-Numa
(Princess Swamp)

Hime-Numa (Princess Swamp)

Hime-Numa is the little lake of the circumference 1Km that is
surrounded by a virgin forest. Mt. Rishiri reflects on its surface.
There is a walkway where alpine plants are seen here and there,
and it is a good place for bird watching and fishing.

Fuji Yaenchi

In the suburb of Oshidomari, there is a place of a good view
from where you can see Rebun Island.
The view of Rishiri Fuji from here is excellent.
It is the gregarious area of Hemerocallis middendorffii in early summer.
And Yuhigaoka observatory where you can see the beautiful sunset is near.

Cycling Path

The cycling path is maintained from the Notsuka Observatory
to Rishiri-cho Athletic Park. It is the course of about 25 ㎞
and you can ride a bike along the seashore and the field where
an alpine plant blooms. It is a recommended experience
because a view is good and it is refreshing.
We have free rental bicycles.

Climbing Mt. Rishiri

	Mt. Rishiri is very popular for mountaineers in Japan. We do our best to help mountaineers to enjoy climbing a mountain by their pace. Feel free to ask anything.
	About climbing Mt. Rishiri
	Because there are several dangerous points, Mt. Rishiri is a mountain for the advanced from the intermediate rank mountaineers. You need the preparation of food, water and clothes, considering being in the mountain for 9-11 hours. Please give a climbing report in the case of the sudden change of the weather and the accident. We have a form in the inn.
	Introduction of the course
	<Oshidomari Trail>
	1. The outline of the course It is the most popular course. The ascent is monotonous until the middle, and then it gets stony toward Mt. Chokan. There is a refuge hut between 8th and 9th station, and the flower field of the alpine plant is where you passed the hut. It is a steep ascent from there. As you pass 9th station and approach the summit of a mountain, the slope rises more steeply and a foothold gets unstable. Climb carefully because a rope is drawn in the dangerous places. Misty day is especially dangerous. We provide our guests a map that explained a safe climbing route around the summit in detail by a photograph.
	2. Starting point of a trail
	Rishiri Hokuroku Yaeijou (north foot camp place) of about 3km from Oshidomari town is a starting point of a trail. It is about 2Km from the entrance of our inn. You can go there by car.
	3. An approximate schedule.
	Distance / 8.4 Km Ascent: 6 hours / Descent: 4 hours (Rest time at Mt. Chokan is contained; 30 min. for ascent, 15 min. for descent.) You need 11 hours including a rest for 1 hour at the top of the mountain, even on a fine day.
