Colony of Rebun Leontopodium (Rebun Usuyukiso)
A Journey to the "Princess of Alpine Flowers"
Discover the Ethereal Beauty of Rebun Leontopodium Against the Backdrop of Mt. Rishiri.
On the serene island of Rebun, a delicate white miracle awaits. The Rebun Leontopodium, the official flower of the town, is a mystical perennial characterized by pale white leaves wrapped in soft, downy hair, looking as if they have been lightly dusted with fresh snow. Often called the "Princess of Alpine Flowers," this elegant relative of the European Edelweiss possesses a noble yet charming presence. From June to July, these blossoms reach their peak, greeting visitors with their soft, velvety texture amidst the tranquil island air.
To reach the prime viewing grounds, you will walk about 2km along the Rebun Forest Path, a route celebrated as a "treasure house of flowers." As you traverse the open gravel path, you can feel the cool breeze on your cheeks while gazing at the breathtaking panoramic view of Mt. Rishiri rising from the Sea of Japan. This gentle uphill stroll is the ultimate island experience, allowing you to appreciate various seasonal blooms right at your feet. The sight of the shimmering white flower colonies at the end of this scenic route is a vision that stays in the hearts of travelers forever.
