Population：1,800
Rishiri Town is a breathtaking coastal community on the southwest of Rishiri Island, home to the majestic 1,721m Mt. Rishiri (Rishiri Fuji). Famous for world-class Rishiri Kombu and premium sea urchins (uni), the town offers the ultimate gourmet experience of the North Sea. Despite its remote image, it is conveniently accessible via a 50-minute flight from Sapporo or a ferry from Wakkanai. Currently, the town focuses on supporting new fishers and long-stay tourism. With its mascot "Rishirin," the town welcomes visitors to enjoy alpine flowers and serene island life.
