Otatomarinuma Pond
Rishiri Island's Largest Pond with Views of Mt. Rishiri
A pond of about 1 km in circumference located in the southeastern part of Rishiri Island. Surrounded by the northernmost natural forest of Sakhalin spruce in Japan, it is known for views of "Inverted Mt. Rishiri".
Otatomarinuma Pond is the largest body of water on Rishiri Island. Surrounding the pond is a natural forest of Sakhalin spruce, regarded as the northernmost of its kind in Japan, creating a calm lakeside environment. On clear and calm days, visitors can observe "Inverted Mt. Rishiri" vividly reflected on the surface of the pond, making it one of the island's representative natural scenery spots.
A flat, easy-to-walk trail circles the pond, allowing travelers to complete a circuit on foot in about 30 minutes. While enjoying a quiet walk along the shore, visitors can observe waterside plants and local birdlife along the route, while feeling the rich nature that changes with each passing season.
In addition, Numaura Marsh, a town-designated natural monument, spreads around the surrounding area. From June to July in early summer, Japanese irises (kakitsubata) bloom in the marsh, offering another seasonal feature to observe alongside the pond's rich natural environment.
