Komariyama Island, Desert island in Shirahama, Japan

The island spans 36,425 square feet with a white sand beach bordered by clear waters in the Tanabe Bay of Wakayama Prefecture.

The island belonged to private owners who acquired it during the economic growth period of Japan in the 1980s.

This uninhabited land represents the Japanese tradition of maintaining natural spaces untouched by development within the archipelago of 6,852 islands.

Visitors can reach the island through a 5-minute boat journey from Shirahama, which connects to the mainland via a 15-minute train ride.

The island permits construction projects, offering owners the possibility to build structures while maintaining its natural characteristics at 33°41'29"N latitude.
