Jinmen (Human Face) Rock is on the coast of Senboshi in the western part of Rishiri Island. On the western side of the island are a lot of capes and uniquely-shaped rocks, among which the most famous are Sleeping Bear Rock and Jinmen (Human Face) Rock.

White shimenawa (braided rice straw rope) is bounded around the head of Human Face Rock, which makes this rock resemble a man’s side face with a headband.

There is a tragic legend about this rock. Legend has it that a young man came to this island by boat from Akkeshi to see his girl friend but the boat slammed into a rock at this cape and he was dead. The girl kept on calling his name at the top of the cliff every day until at last she became a rock.
