善入寺島, River island in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan

Zen'nyūji Island spans 500 hectares in the Yoshino River, measuring 6 kilometers in length and 1.2 kilometers in width at its broadest points.

Prior to 1907, the island hosted 506 households with 3000 residents, complete with villages, schools, and shrines until its transformation into a retention basin.

The island maintains agricultural traditions through seasonal vegetable cultivation, including daikon radishes in winter and watermelons during summer months.

Visitors can reach the island via a 10-minute walk from Awa-Kawashima Station on the JR Tokushima Line through one of six submersible bridges.

The boundary between Awa City Market District and Yoshinogawa City Kawashima District runs through the center of this uninhabited river island.
