Rishiri is on my list of places to visit, along with Rebun. I want to go in the early summer when the islands are covered in wild flowers, but I won't make it there this year. If you're flying from Sapporo, I think you need to fly from Okadama (OKD), which means a change of airports if you fly into Chitose (CTS).
