Sea Park in Rishiri Island !

by Kazu

It seemed that a new park was being built beside Rishiri Fantastic Road. On the way from Rishiri Town to Rishirifuji Town on the southern coastline, I found a new lookout, parking lot and washroom being built.

A small port could be seen from the lookout. Sea urchin picking can be experienced from the boat provided by fishermen. It might be a good place to dive into the ocean but we had better avoid such area to avoid being accused.

This is the deck of the lookout extended to the ocean. The floor had windows of sheet glass to see the surface of the ocean and rocks. I've never heard about whales going offshore of the island but watching the ocean is so healing.
