Kabushima, Natural monument on former island in Samemachi, Japan.
Kabushima extends 300 meters in length and 140 meters in width, reaching an elevation of 18 meters above sea level.
The island remained isolated until 1942 when the Japanese army constructed a causeway connecting it to the mainland during World War II.
Kabushima Shrine, established in 1269 by local fishermen, stands on the island and hosts its main festival every third Sunday of April.
The location provides observation points for viewing the 30,000 to 40,000 petrels that nest on the island between April and June.
The Ministry of Environment selected the sounds of black-tailed gulls at Kabushima as one of the 100 Soundscapes of Japan.
