Shiroi Koibito no Oka (Numaura Observatory)
A View of Mt. Rishiri Across Otatomari Pond
Numaura Observatory in southeastern Rishiri Island overlooks Otatomari Pond and Mt. Rishiri. It is also known for its connection to the packaging of Shiroi Koibito and its proposal certificate.
Situated on elevated ground, Numaura Observatory is associated with the landscape of Mt. Rishiri depicted on the packaging of Shiroi Koibito, a famous Hokkaido confectionery. From the observatory, visitors can look out at Otatomari Pond below and Mt. Rishiri rising behind it, making it widely known as one of the island's representative natural landscapes.
The mountain’s distinctive profile is closely linked to the familiar image on the confectionery’s packaging. This viewpoint offers visitors an opportunity to see the landscape associated with the product while visiting Rishiri Island.
The site is also known by the nickname "Hill of Proposals." Visitors who propose at the location and submit a commemorative photograph to the Rishirifuji Town Tourism Association can receive an official "Proposal Certificate" authorized by Ishiya Co., Ltd. Visitors can also observe how the views of Mt. Rishiri change with the seasons and learn about this local tradition.
