Apart from the unbelievably beautiful landscape, the great thing about hiking on Rebun Island is that you simply cannot get lost. The trails are clearly marked, and quite often the trail on the next hill or cliff is already visible in the distance. While the Momo-iwa trail in the southern part of Rebun Island is dominated by green and seemingly never ending cliffs, this Four-hour course at the very northern end of the island offers more diversity, namely stunning capes, secluded beaches, rare wild flowers and a great spot to watch seals.
