Walk around the island village Rebun Island Uennnai(Hokkaido) / A village of Rebun Island that can only be reached on foot

The northernmost manned island in Japan, located about 59km west of Wakkanai City on the Sea of ​​Japan. Leven is a word that comes from the Ainu word "Levensiri (Okinoshima)". Rebundake at an altitude of 490m is the highest, and the east side gradually slopes toward the coastline, but the west side has cliffs that continue for several tens of kilometers. Since being designated as Rishiri Rebun Sarobetsu National Park in 1974, the number of tourists visiting has been large, and the number is now 100,000 per year. Since it is located at a high latitude of 45 degrees north latitude, it is an island blessed with abundant marine resources such as "Hana no Shima" where more than 300 species of alpine plants grow naturally, which can only be seen at altitudes above 2000 m, and sea urchin and kelp. Famous nationwide. Currently, prehistoric, ancient, and early modern remains and relics have been confirmed at 55 locations on the island. Among them, the Funadomari Heritage site (nationally designated important cultural property) in the northern part of the island was excavated with jade pendants showing trade with Honshu and accessories using potatoes from the sea south of the Boso Peninsula. It is attracting attention as the northernmost archaeological site of the archaeological site that greatly changes the feeling. (See "Shimadas")

The Uennai settlement is located on a small flat ground at the mouth of the Wennai River, between the cliffs on the west coast. You can only go here by boat or on foot. I thought that this village was abandoned, but as of 2022, there are two households. The places where people live in such villages are very rare, as there are countless places in Japan. Rebun Island has an 8-hour course that runs vertically on the island, and it is famous because it is in the middle of the route. There is a snow removal station on the paved road in the Kafukai village on the east coast toward the mountain, and it is an hour to an hour and a half on foot from there. It is a safe route, although it is a little difficult to cross three fallen trees and to get rid of it. In the village, there are 9 houses and a building that seems to be a communal facility. It is said that the current two households are engaged in fishing.
