Kobatachigami, Desert island in Tokara Islands, Japan.
Kobatachigami stands as a volcanic formation within the subtropical zone of the Tokara archipelago, surrounded by clear waters of varying depths.
The island became part of Toshima Village administration in 1952 when the Tokara Islands returned to Japanese control after the post-war US military administration.
Local fishermen from neighboring islands maintain traditional fishing methods and navigation practices when operating in the waters around Kobatachigami.
Access to the island requires coordination with local boat operators from Kagoshima, as no regular ferry service stops at this uninhabited location.
Marine researchers document specific species of coral and fish that thrive in the nutrient-rich waters surrounding the remote rocky shores.
