Cape Peshi
A Headland by Oshidomari Port with Views of the Sea and Mt. Rishiri
Cape Peshi is located beside Oshidomari Port, the gateway to Rishiri Island. From near the summit, visitors can look out over the port, the Sea of Japan, Rebun Island, and Mt. Rishiri. It is a spot where visitors can experience unique landforms, expansive views, and local history.
Cape Peshi is a cape beside Oshidomari Port in northern Rishiri Island, standing about 93 meters above sea level. Its distinctive shape has earned it the nickname "Gorilla Rock." Accessible on foot from the ferry terminal, a steep walking trail leads to the summit area, offering views of Oshidomari Port and the Sea of Japan.
On clear days, views extend to Rebun Island and the Hokkaido mainland. Near the top of the cape stands the white Oshidomari Lighthouse, with Mt. Rishiri rising behind it. The elevated viewpoint offers views of the surrounding sea, the port, nearby islands, and the mountain. At the foot of the cape lie memorial monuments to Aizu Domain samurai.
A smaller hill known as "Mopeshi" once stood nearby, and its stone was quarried to build Wakkanai Port during the Taisho era. Its location near the port combines coastal scenery with opportunities to learn about local history.
