Hokkaido Rishirigunrishirichou Senhoushi Okinawa

Senposhimisaki Park is a park located at Cape Senposhi, at the southernmost tip of Rishiri Island. The imposing spectacle of Mt. Rishiri is visible from the Park, and visitors can also view many unusually-shaped rocks washed ashore by the sea that were originally blasted out of Mt. Rishiri during one of its volcanic eruptions. In one corner of the beach (which is a superb place for nature observation), orphaned seals are looked after; visitors can experience feeding them.

駐車場で車を降りると1軒の利尻昆布屋さんがあり、その脇を進むと足場は悪いですが、小さな生簀のようなものがあり、ゴマフアザラシが1頭飼育されています。これは稚内のノシャップ岬の水族館から出張に来ている個体です。餌やりも出来ます。その囲いになっているのは「潤」という物で、ニシン漁で使われた船着き場で会ったり、獲れ過ぎた鰊を保管しておく施設の名残です。天気が良ければ海岸線と一緒に利尻富士が望めると思いま...

Rishiri has an abundance of magnificent scenery, including Mt. Rishiri, which stands tall in the middle of the Island. Also known as ""Rishiri Fuji"" because of its resemblance to Mt. Fuji, Mt. Rishiri is a treasure-house of alpine plants; visitors can enjoy the fields of flowers near the summit, and the spectacular 360-degree panoramic views from the summit itself. When the weather is clear, Mt. Rishiri can be seen reflected upside-down in the golden-blue water of Himenuma Pond, which is located in the foothills of the mountain, surrounded by primary forest. At Senboshimisaki Park on the coast, with its unusually shaped rock formations, visitors can also see wild seals."

前日の利尻山登山で，全身筋肉痛になってしまったので，入りに来た。鴛泊の市街地から登山道へ続く道は登り坂になるので，行きはバスで帰りは歩いて宿に帰った。温泉としては特別な感じは無かった。露天風呂は涼しいので体が火照ったら丁度良い。残円なのは水風呂の温度が低すぎることだ。
