Mitsukejima, Coastal island in Suzu, Japan.

Mitsukejima stands 30 meters above sea level, extends 150 meters in length, and measures 50 meters in width along the Noto Peninsula coastline.

The Buddhist monk and scholar Kūkai first discovered the island during his travels from Sado Island, establishing its name which means viewing island.

The island shares geological composition with the mainland, providing diatomaceous earth used in traditional shichirin clay cooking stoves of the region.

Visitors can access viewing areas year-round, with nearby facilities including a seasonal campground and youth hostel operating from April through September.

The 2023 and 2024 Noto earthquakes caused substantial landslides on the island, altering its natural formation and documented geological structure.
