Mount Rebun
礼文岳
The highest peak on Rebun Island at 490 meters. The round trip takes about 4 hours, and the summit overlooks the whole island and Mount Rishiri across the strait.
Mount Rebun is the highest mountain on Rebun Island, at 490 meters. Although not very tall, its high latitude means the summit is already covered by shrubs and alpine plants. The trailhead is in the Naoro area. The one-way route is about 4.3 km and takes roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. The first half follows a forest road, and the view opens up in the second half. From the summit you can see 360 degrees, including Rebun's coastline, Mount Rishiri, and the main island of Hokkaido in the distance. The trail is well maintained with gentle slopes, so its physical demands are moderate for Rebun Island. Bring plenty of water. On foggy days there is no view.
