Izena, Administrative district in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
The administrative division of Izena encompasses five localities of similar size: Izena, Nakada, Shomi, Uchihana, and Jicchaku across Izena Island.
The district holds importance as the birthplace of King Sho En, who established the Second Sho Dynasty and governed the region during medieval times.
Izena maintains traditional agricultural practices, with farmers cultivating sugar cane and harvesting edible seaweed according to long-established methods in the region.
The main transportation link between Izena and mainland Okinawa operates through regular ferry services connecting Nakada Port to Unten Port.
The district features natural monuments including specific communities of Akara-utaki ubame oak and Okinawa pine, alongside archaeological sites containing ancient shell mounds.
