Otatomarinuma Pond

A Mirror of Mt. Rishiri in a Forest Paradise

Discover the serene beauty of Rishiri Island’s largest pond, where the majestic Mt. Rishiri perfectly reflects on calm, emerald waters surrounded by a lush Sakhalin spruce forest.


Located in the island’s southeast, Otatomarinuma Pond is a hidden gem cradled by deep, ancient forests. A flat, 30-minute walking path circles the pond, offering a refreshing escape filled with the scent of conifers and the soothing atmosphere of the tranquil waterfront.


In early summer (June to July), the shores come alive with vibrant purple rabbit-ear irises, adding elegance to the quiet landscape. On clear days, the towering peak of Mt. Rishiri rises behind the pond, creating a stunning contrast with the deep green forest and brilliant blue sky.


Along the walk, the songs of wild birds and the gentle forest breeze create a sensory experience, melting away daily stress. Otatomarinuma Pond is more than just a scenic spot—it’s a place to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in the pure essence of Rishiri Island, creating memories that will linger long after your visit.
