What kind of place are Momoiwa and Jizoiwa?
Momoiwa (Peach Rock) is a large rock on the coast in the southwestern part of Rebun Island. It got its name because its shape looks like a peach. Jizoiwa (Jizo Rock) is nearby, and you can enjoy the coastline scenery.
Rebun Island is called the “floating island of flowers,” and alpine plants bloom there into early summer. Our president visited in early May, a little before the peak flower season.
