Rishiri Airport is an airport located on Rishiri Island in northern Hokkaido, Japan. The runway is 1800 meters long. There are no parallel taxiways or turning pads. Landing at this airport requires a high level of skill as only a localizer is installed. Moreover, during winter, there is often snow accumulation, and even in summer, dense fog can make landing difficult.
JAL operates regular flights to Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport with the ATR42-600, while ANA operates seasonal flights with the 737 from June to September.
The airport is famous for its stunning scenery, with a large mountain resembling Mount Fuji known as Rishiri-Fuji directly in front of the airport terminal. It is renowned as one of the top three most beautiful airport views in Japan.
