A small, land-connected island located just off Kaga Port in Matsue City. It's popular for its dynamic rocky areas with traces of volcanic activity and highly transparent sea, making it an ideal spot for easy island exploration. With well-maintained promenades, you can observe uniquely shaped rocks and caves created by wave erosion, as well as seasonal coastal plants while feeling the sea breeze. In summer, it buzzes with people enjoying camping and swimming, and snorkeling offers a close view of the Sea of Japan's rich ecosystem. Although only about 30 minutes by car from central Matsue, it is a hidden gem where you can simultaneously enjoy the overwhelming openness of the sea and rugged natural beauty that makes you feel the Earth's origins.
