What is Rebun Island?

Information about Rebun Island

Rebun Island (礼文島, rebuntō) lies in the Sea of Japan off the northwestern tip of Hokkaidō, Japan. Rebun stretches 29 kilometers in the North-South direction and 8 kilometers East-West, covering about 80 square kilometers. The island is known for its alpine flowers and the 8-Hour Hiking Course (8時間ハイキングコース, hachi-jikan haikingu kōsu) which runs from one end of the island to the other, North to South. The hiking course can be broken into two sections, naturally known as the 4-Hour Hiking Courses. The island is part of the Rishiri-Rebun-Sarobetsu National Park.
