This live camera looks out over Rishiri, a volcanic island off the northwest coast of Hokkaido. The stream lets you check conditions on the island before you plan a trip or simply watch the sea and sky change through the day.
About the island
Rishiri lies in the Sea of Japan off the northwest tip of Hokkaido, and its profile is dominated by Mount Rishiri, a symmetrical volcano rising from the water. The island is known for its rugged coastline, its alpine plants and the fishing villages that line its shores. Its landscape changes quickly with the weather, and the summit is often partly hidden by cloud.
What to watch on the camera
Because the view is tied to a location on the island, you may see open water, coastline or the mountain slopes, depending on the direction of the camera. Clear mornings tend to show the clearest outline of the peak, while afternoons can bring cloud build-up. Winter brings snow and strong winds, so conditions may look very different from summer. Check the live weather block on this page before you watch.
Practical notes
Summers are cool and relatively mild for Japan, while winters are cold, snowy and windy. Spring and early autumn are often the most settled periods for visiting. Rishiri is reached by ferry from Wakkanai on the Hokkaido mainland, and the nearby cameras on this site show Rishirifuji and Senhoshi for comparison of different parts of the island.
