## Description

On summer mornings, hikers bound for Mount Rishiri's volcanic cone file out of a tiny terminal that handles just a handful of flights – Rishiri Airport's seasonal link to Sapporo's New Chitose. The island off Hokkaido's northern tip is famous for Rishiri kombu kelp and sea urchin, which leave by ferry through Wakkanai. No air cargo is handled at the airport; time-critical freight is routed via New Chitose (CTS).
