A recommended trekking route on Rebun Island is the Momo-iwa Observatory
Course.
The approximately 2.5-km trail,which stretches from Momo-iwa Observatory
to Mtochi Lighthouse,is a treasure-trove of alpine plants.
Trekkers in the southern area of the island can see an abundance of flowers
along this course,which is characterized by a wide variety of such plants
one after another by season.
Anemone narcissflora var.sachalinensis in spring.
Trollius ledebourii in early summer and the contrasut between the red
color of Pedicularis chamissonis var.rebunensis and Mt.Rishiri from summer
to autumn are the highlights of this trail.
Visitors to Momo-iwa Observatory can see the Momo-iwa (a Peach Rock.a
gigantic 250-meter-high peach-shaped form ) and Neko-iwa (Cat Rock) bihind
it.
