Mishima, Village district in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Mishima consists of three inhabited volcanic islands - Iōjima, Kuroshima, and Takeshima - spread across the northern part of the Ryukyu archipelago.
The village administration was established on April 1, 1908, combining several islands that were previously under different regional jurisdictions of Kagoshima Prefecture.
The islands maintain connections to ancient Japanese texts, appearing in both the Heike monogatari and Azuma Kagami historical chronicles.
The administrative office operates from Kagoshima city, providing services to approximately 405 residents distributed across three main inhabited islands.
Despite being physically located within the island chain, Mishima's governmental functions are managed from mainland Kagoshima, 40 kilometers away from its territory.
