Okamura Island is a small island located in the Seto Inland Sea as part of the Sekizen Islands group. The island connects to nearby Nakano Island by a distinctive arch bridge and can be reached by ferry or road from the mainland.
The island developed as a fishing and farming community in the Seto Inland Sea region. The construction of connecting bridges in recent decades changed how people move between islands and the mainland.
