• Rishirito 180.8 km² 北海道 The cone of Rishiri-san rises from the sea, and the houses sit low along the shore, ringed by a single road.
• Okushiri 141.81 km² 北海道 The ferry from Esashi takes its time across the Sea of Japan, and by the time the rocky outline of Okushiri appears, the mainland feels further away than the distance on a map suggests.
• Rebuntō 80.69 km² 北海道 The ferry from Wakkanai pulls into Kafuka, and the air shifts almost immediately — cooler, briny, carrying something herbal from the low slopes above the harbor.
• Teuri 5.43 km² 北海道 The ferry from Haboro port takes a little over an hour, less by high-speed boat, and by the time the cliffs come into view the mainland feels already distant.
• Yagishiri 5.16 km² 北海道 The ferry from Hanboro Port takes about an hour, the high-speed boat rather less.
• 小島 1.09 km² 北海道
