Kodakara Island, Small volcanic island in Tokara archipelago, Japan.

This island of 1.0 square kilometers features a central peak reaching 102 meters and coral reefs along its limestone coastline.

The island belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom before becoming part of Satsuma Domain during the Edo period and later transferred to Kagoshima Prefecture.

The fishing community of 69 inhabitants maintains traditional practices while living on this remote island in the East China Sea.

The island connects to mainland Kagoshima through a 13-hour ferry service, as no airport facilities exist on the landmass.

The Yudomari hot spring on the island produces water reaching temperatures of 90 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
