TriviaRishiri Kelp
from Rebun Island?

uced
Rishiri Kelp is not only prodalso
around Rishiri Island butaround Rebun Island.

I live in the United States and visit various countries to play games, but
I love Rebun Island the most. Rebun General Park (a.k.a. Takochu
Park) is where I learned how to dribble from my father when I was anelementary school student. I remember walking in Motochi on a juniorhigh school outing, looking forward to eating the Japanese-styleomelet my mother had prepared for my lunch. Whenever I visit myparents, local people speak to me—“Oh, you’re back!”—and myfriends welcome me back home. My romantic, tough-looking seniorfrom school days would invite me to join him taking photos of the stars
at night. Local people are a bit shy with strangers, but they are
inherently very friendly, so please feel free to speak to them. Find yourown tourist destination on the island and come back!

Boreas Soya
This is the third ferry in the island flower series following Cypria Soyaand Calanthe Okushiri. The ship’s name is derived from “amapola,” aSpanish word for corn poppy, in connection with Rishiri hinageshi (akind of corn poppy), a rare endemic yellow flower found on Rishiri
Island. The floral language of the corn poppy is “kindness and warmth,”and the ship will take you to the islands in a kind and warm manner.

VIP Cabin “Premium Blue”

The name of this ship is derived from the word, “Cypripedium,” the scientific name of agenus of orchid found only on Rebun Island, and was formed by adding the suffix “-ia,”which is often added to names of countries and places. The ship features two colors:a deep indigo color, which is Heart Land Ferry’s corporate color, and crimson, which
represents the glowing morning and evening skies at the northernmost tip of Hokkaido.

The name of this ship is derived from the word “Boreas,” the god of
the north wind in Greek mythology, and was inspired by the uniquenortherly winds that sweep across Soya amidst the harsh, tough andexpansive natural environment. The ship offers a safe, comfortable
trip under the northerly winds.
