The 10 Best National Parks in the World

"Some of the best national parks in Japan are in Hokkaido, the sparsely populated northernmost island of Japan, known for its mild summers and winters of powder. If you're a hiker, summer and fall are excellent options. If you're looking to get off the beaten path, I'd recommend [this park] off the northwest coast. "There are two unique islands you can reach in under two hours by ferry from the mainland, which offer some incredible hiking experiences — including ascending a dormant volcano on Rishiri and enjoying the alpine flowers, fishing villages, and various temperate zones of Rebun. If winter is your game and you're looking for memorable experiences on their own or to add to a ski trip, you need to see the intricate dances of the red-crowned cranes in Kushiro Shitsugen National Park in eastern Hokkaido. In the winter, their marsh habitats are covered in snow, and it's a magical experience to see them at sunrise as the steam drifts up from the river." — Amy Tadehara, InsideJapan. The entry highlights ferry-accessible island hiking (including a dormant volcano on Rishiri), alpine flowers, and nearby wildlife/winter experiences." - Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure.

Totally worth a visit if you are in Wakkanai. I was only going to Wakkanai to see Cape Soya but thanks to a friendly passenger on the train ride over from Sapporo, I learned all about this island. He got super excited about Mt. Rishiri in the distance as we approached Wakkanai Station. I thought nothing of it until he pointed to a map he was carrying that explained it’s a volcano. I was just at Sakurajima the week before, and the idea of having seen one of the southern most volcanoes in Japan, why not see the Northern most volcano. I arrived at 12:50pm, checked in and quickly ran to the Heartland Ferry Terminal, and with only 10mins to spare, I was on the last ride to Rishiri. Keep in mind the ferry takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes, one way. So it only runs a limited number of times a day. In the winter, it’s 1:55pm last ride to the island. And 5:30pm last trip back from the island. The ferry ride was awesome, highly recommend chilling on the outdoor deck, no one out there, not cold at all. Nice privacy. S As we approached Rishiri, its snow covered peak looked sharp and mighty. As we prepared for docking, you get a sweet view of the mountain, totally unobstructed. Sadly, unlike Sakurajima, no taxi’s were waiting for us. Despite that, I wandered around a bit on foot, but because I had a return ticket for 5:30pm, I had to hang around and not go too far. Little town near the dock. There is a cool cliffside as well, wish I had more time to explore. Go, have fun, you will like. Maybe more so in the spring and fall 😅

Visited Rebun island by bike and hiked to Mt Rishiri, really amazing views and beautiful landscapes. In Rebun you can get to see a lot of unusual and beautiful alpine flowers during the summer, and the views from Mt Rishiri were absolutely breathtaking

Beautiful, friendly Rebun Island, two hours from Wakkanai, Hokkaido by ferry. Highly recommend renting an electric bicycle to travel around the island.

穏やかで涼しい好天に恵まれ、利尻富士やスコトン岬、オタトマリ沼などを満喫しました。登山やハイキング、釣りなどのアウトドアも大変人気があるようです。

遠くまで来たかいがあった場所。絵描きだった父が描いた利尻富士を見ることができてシアワセ。孤高の青い山に初冠雪。ダブルレインボーまで見られた
