Lip-kun and Lip-chan, the town's mascots

Rishirifuji's mascots are Lip-kun (りっぷくん) and Lip-chan (りっぷちゃん). They are nature-loving chipmunk siblings who lived in Mount Rishiri. Their tails and their bellies are their charm point. They lived next door to Rishirin (the mascot of Rishiri). While they are on their break, they relax in the Rishirifuji Onsen and enjoyed eating sea urchin served with kelp and drinking water from the Kanro spring. However, they had to go to school as they are still at a young age. During the winter, they played with snow. During the summer, they go hiking.[3]
