History & Context

Origins of Oshidomari Port Ferry Terminal Oshidomari Port Ferry Terminal, the primary gateway to Rishiri Island, was first established in the early Shōwa period as a modest landing point for fishing vessels and inter-island trade. Through successive expansions in the late 20th century, it was transformed into a modern two-storey terminal, equipped to handle both passenger ferries and roll-on/roll-off car ferries. The reinforced concrete structure, designed to withstand harsh winter storms and seismic activity common in northern Hokkaido, features heat-insulated walls and double-glazed windows to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures even when outside winds buffet the harbor.
