Tobishima, Coastal village in Ama District, Japan

Tobishima spans 22.42 square kilometers of predominantly flat terrain at sea level, bordering Nagoya to the east and Ise Bay to the south.

The village emerged from land reclamation projects initiated by the Tokugawa shogunate and received its official municipality status on October 1, 1889.

The village maintains active international connections through its sister city relationship with Rio Vista, California, established in April 2007.

The village operates without passenger railway service, connecting to surrounding areas through the Isewangan Expressway and National Routes 23 and 302.

The Nishi-Nagoya Thermal Power Station functions as a primary industrial facility within Tobishima, generating substantial tax revenue for the local government.
