Ie, Island village in Kunigami District, Japan
Ie village extends across a 23-square-kilometer island featuring Mount Gusuku, which rises 172 meters above the surrounding agricultural fields and coastline.
The Battle of Iejima in April 1945 resulted in heavy military action, with American troops from the 77th Infantry Division securing the island within five days.
Residents of Ie maintain strong connections to traditional Okinawan practices through local festivals, ceremonies, and agricultural traditions passed down through generations.
Regular ferry services connect Ie village to the town of Motobu on Okinawa Island, providing transportation for both residents and visitors throughout the year.
The island earned its nickname 'Peanut Island' due to both its shape when viewed from above and its historical cultivation of peanut crops.
