Okidomari

The natural bay of Okidomari extends 440 meters inland with a water depth of 5 meters, surrounded by mountains forming a forked valley pattern.

During the Edo period, Okidomari functioned as a major silver export port, accommodating 70 vessels compared to the neighboring Yunotsu port's capacity of 50 ships.

The port settlement maintains original two-story merchant houses along narrow paths, with storehouses dating from the North-bound trade ship period.

The current fishing port contains no rice fields, leading local residents to practice hillside cultivation and seaweed harvesting around Kushijima Island.

Two maritime fortresses, Kushiyama Castle and Umaru Castle, guard the northern and southern sides of the bay entrance since the Mouri clan period.
