Oki Islands, Island group in Shimane Prefecture, Japan
The Oki Islands comprise four inhabited volcanic islands and numerous islets rising from the Sea of Japan, with cliffs reaching heights of 257 meters.
These islands functioned as an exile location during the Heian period, notably hosting Emperor Go-Toba among other political figures from mainland Japan.
The archipelago contains 107 Shinto shrines across its inhabited islands, where traditional Kagura theatrical performances take place throughout the year.
Transportation between islands operates through regular ferry services from Sakaiminato and Shichirui ports, while Oki Airport connects to Osaka and Izumo.
The Kuniga Coast features grazing cattle atop steep cliffs, while rare species like the Oki hare and Oki dandelion exist nowhere else on Earth.
