点评:Rishiri Island is a volcanic island, formed by ancient lava flows from Mount Rishiri, which rises in the center of the island. For that reason, the coastline features many oddly shaped rocks created by lava flows. We visited one such rock formation, Neguma-no-iwa (“Sleeping Bear Rock”), so named because it resembles a bear lying down. There is no parking lot, but at this spot the road widens slightly, so we pulled over at the roadside to take a look. As a landmark, there is a bright vermilion shrine called Benten-kyu. Built relatively recently in 1969 on the basis of a dragon-god legend, it has now become a popular spot for viewing the sunset. Next to it stands the signboard for Neguma-no-iwa, from which you can look down and see the rock below. I thought it indeed resembled the head of a bear. It is a scenic spot well worth a visit together with Benten-kyu.
