Senposhi Misaki Park
仙法志御崎公園
A lava coastline park at the southernmost tip of Rishiri Island. Seals are kept in a natural rock pool that visitors can observe up close, and nearby are unusual rock formations such as Face Rock.
Senposhi Misaki Park lies at the southernmost tip of Rishiri Island. Its coastline was formed by cooled lava from Mount Rishiri, and the black rocks contrast sharply with the clear seawater. Seals are kept in a natural tide pool enclosed by the park, and in summer visitors can observe them and feed them. At low tide you can see sea urchins and kelp. Nearby coastal rocks include Face Rock and Sleeping Bear Rock, and the Rishiri Town Museum is not far away. Free admission; island loop buses and sightseeing buses stop here. About 40 minutes' drive from Oshidomari.
