"Kamishima," accessible by regular ferry from Toba Port, is a beautiful isolated island known as the setting for Yukio Mishima's novel "The Sound of Waves." On the walking path that circles the island, you can encounter unique landscapes and history, such as the rare white rocky areas called "karst topography" created by wave erosion and the sacred atmosphere of Yatsushiro Shrine. A unique, leisurely time flows on the island, and the ability to catch a glimpse of the simple lifestyle of a fishing town is also a charm. Surrounded by the highly transparent sea, this island will be a special place for solo travelers who want to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and reflect on themselves, as well as for travelers who love walking.
