- Little-known islands in southern Kyushu / Walk around the island village Katsurashima Niijima Tsukishima (Kagoshima/Miyazaki Prefecture)
Katsura Island (Kagoshima Prefecture)
A small island in the Yatsushiro Sea, about 2 km north of Warabijima, at the northwest end of the Sho district of Izumi City, which is famous as a migration site for cranes. The island has a long history, starting with the migration of three families from Amakusa Island during the Kansei era. The entire island is steeply sloped, with little flat land and only a small amount of arable land. The main industry is the fishing industry, with fishing for sea bream, prawns, and chili fish carried out in the nearby good fishing grounds, as well as sardines, mackerel, and horse mackerel going out to the vicinity of Koshiki Island. Although it is close to the mainland and blessed with a beautiful natural environment, there are no regular shipping routes, so there are few visitors except for anglers and summer campers.
Niijima (Shinjima, Kagoshima Prefecture)
Located approximately 1.5 km northeast of Sakurajima in Kinko Bay, it is a relatively flat, circular-shaped island, also known as ``Moejima.'' Area: 0.13km2, altitude: 43m. It was raised during the Sakurajima eruption in 1779-80. Niijima pumice, a type of shirasu soil created by depositing ash from the Sakurajima volcano in the sea, has eroded the 6 km coastline at the time of uplift, reducing it to less than half. In the northeastern part of the island, there is a cliff where whitebait grass is exposed, and a shell fossil layer that is said to be about 5,000 years old has been found. The climate is warm throughout the year, but there is little arable land due to poor soil and salt and wind damage. It is said that about 20 years after the uplift, settlers arrived from Sekisui in Sakurajima. After the war, the population once numbered 250. They made a living by fishing for sea bream, yellowtail, and cutlassfish, and cultivating yellowtail in Kinko Bay, which is rich in marine resources. Farms were also opened on the island, and Sakurajima mandarin oranges were cultivated. Electricity was supplied from the mainland by submarine transmission from 1971, and water was supplied from the mainland by submarine transmission from 1977.
Tsukishima (Miyazaki Prefecture)
An island located at the southernmost tip of Miyazaki Prefecture, at the mouth of Ichikiura Bay, Kushima City, facing the Hyuga Sea. Located within Nichinan Kaigan Quasi-National Park. The terrain is steep, with hard sandstone on the east side facing the open sea, and a sea cliff around 50 meters high. A fishing village is located on a small piece of flat land to the west. The entire island is covered with a virgin forest of lilacs, and the surrounding seabed is blessed with underwater resources such as table coral and tropical fish, making it a great spot for shore fishing in all seasons. The island's name comes from Tsukishima Fujiyoshi, a fisherman from Uwajima, Shikoku, who bought the island for 61 yen in the early Meiji era and first settled there. The lilac that grows thickly on the island has been selected as a special plant community called ``Tsukishima's lizard community.''

いつもありがとうございます。小さな島でも人家があれば何だか愉しい。また色んな土地の小島を観てみたい。お疲れさまでした。
いつもありがとうございます😊これらの小島に住まう感覚味わってみたい。
Brilliant drone footage, would love to visit these Islands!
Since there are no regular boats, I had to visit by air, but I would still like to cross by boat.

美しいですね。緑の軍艦島？新島の規模感は軍艦島とかより少し小さいのでしょうか？九州は美しい島がいっぱいですね。
緑の軍艦島とはナイスです！今調べたらほぼ同じ、若干新島の方が大きいですね。そう考えると軍艦島って本当にすごい👍
