Tatoku Island, Desert island in Agochō-Shinmei, Japan.
Tatoku Island is an uninhabited island situated in Ago Bay and presents natural landscapes surrounded by marine waters. The island offers undisturbed habitats with no human development or infrastructure.
The island has remained in its natural state since ancient times and reflects the maritime heritage of the Mie region. It was never permanently settled, allowing it to remain largely untouched by human activity.
The waters around this island are integral to local fishing practices that have long shaped the seafood culture of the surrounding region.
Access to the island requires boat transportation, and visitors must arrange maritime transport from the Mie Prefecture mainland. The best time to visit is during spring or autumn when weather conditions are most stable.
The island serves as a refuge for researchers studying native marine species in their natural habitat without human disturbance. This pristine environment allows for rare observations of wildlife that would be difficult to achieve elsewhere.
