About

Yagishiri Island (焼尻島, Yagishiri-tō) is a small, sparsely populated island in the Sea of Japan, 23 kilometres (14 mi) northwest of Haboro Bay in Haboro, Hokkaido. The island, along with neighboring Teuri Island on its west side, belongs to the town of Haboro in Rumoi Subprefecture. It is noted for its dense forests; fully two-thirds of it remains forested.
