Tsutashima, Desert island in Ōita, Japan
Tsutashima stands as an uninhabited landmass off the Saganoseki Peninsula coast, featuring natural rock formations shaped by coastal winds and waters.
The island received protection status in 1974 when it became part of Nippō Kaigan Quasi-National Park, covering 85 square kilometers across Ōita Prefecture.
Local maritime workers maintain a collection of navigation stories about the waters surrounding Tsutashima, passing their knowledge through generations.
Visitors reach the island exclusively through boat services from nearby coastal towns, requiring advance arrangements and weather condition checks.
The absence of human settlements on Tsutashima creates an undisturbed environment for numerous seabird species during their nesting periods.
