Etajima, Island city in Hiroshima Bay, Japan
The Y-shaped island of Etajima spans 91 square kilometers across Hiroshima Bay, with Mount Uneyama rising 542 meters above sea level.
The Imperial Japanese Naval Academy relocated to Etajima in 1888, establishing a military education center that continues operations as Naval Academy Edashima.
Local residents maintain olive farms throughout the island while managing fish hatcheries in Edashima Bay, contributing to regional food production.
The Hayase Ohashi bridge connects Etajima to mainland Honshu, while ferries provide additional transportation from Hiroshima, Kure, and Matsuyama cities.
Two annual running events take place in Etajima: the October Orange Marathon rewards participants with local oranges, while the Oyster Marathon offers fresh oysters.
