Which part of Japan have you visited? Or you've never? I often hear foreigners say ' I'd love to visit Japan but it's very costy'. No doubt. But you're lucky enough to have chance to visit Japan. Most of the sightseeners, all they do in Japan is visit famous temples and shrines, that's all.
But I recommend you to have a look at the japanese unique nature. In Japan, there're 383 Nature Park including 28 National Parks. Rebun island belongs to Rishiri Rebun Salobetu National Park located at the northernmost part of Japan.

Certainly, the island belongs to Japanese territory, the scenery is totally different from other part of Japan. It's surely an earthly nature's dreamlike paradise. This overwhelming superb nature worth the Earth's Heritage, the World's Treasure.
