Tsubakishima

Tsubakishima features granite formations that create a distinct landscape along the coastline of Iwate Prefecture, extending into the Pacific Ocean.

The Japanese government designated this uninhabited island as a natural monument to protect its geological structures and preserve the coastal environment.

Local communities in Rikuzentakata maintain traditional practices of sustainable interaction with the marine environment surrounding the granite island.

Access to the island requires arrangement of boat transportation from mainland ports, and visitors need to bring necessary supplies for outdoor exploration.

Scientists conduct research on the island's marine ecosystems, studying the interaction between granite formations and coastal biodiversity patterns.
