浮島, River island in Numata, Japan
The island sits at 629 meters above sea level in the Katabanagawa River, part of the Tone River system in Gunma Prefecture.
The Kannondo Temple on the island houses a Nyoirin Kannon statue, which local records indicate was carved by master craftsman Hidari Jingoro.
The island hosts two annual ceremonies: the Ukishima Kannon Spring Festival in April and the Goma Fire Ritual in October.
Two bridges connect the island to the mainland: the 120-meter Ukishima Bridge on the left bank and the 140-meter Fukiwari Bridge on the right.
The island stands near Fukiware Falls, creating a natural formation where water flows around both sides of the elevated landmass.
