Osakikamijima
An island floating in the Geiyo Islands in the center of the Seto Inland Sea. To the south, it faces Omishima Island and Okamura Island, Ehime Prefecture, at a distance of 1 km, and to the north, it faces Takehara City, at a distance of 5 km. It is connected to the mainland of Hiroshima Prefecture by high-speed boats and ferries with Takehara Port and Akitsu Port, and there are also connections to Osaki-Shimojima, Omishima, and Imabari. The climate is warm and rainy, unique to the Seto Inland Sea, with little snowfall or rainfall. Since ancient times, it has prospered as a salt-making village in the Seto Inland Sea, and became the domain of various families as Osaki-sho in Aki Province. It also achieved remarkable development as a tidal port on the sea route connecting Kamigata and the Kyushu region, and along with the bustling shipping industry, the shipbuilding industry flourished from around the Bunroku era (1592-1596). The current main industries are agriculture, centered on citrus cultivation, and shipbuilding. After the Great Showa Merger, there were three towns: Osaki Town, Higashino Town, and Kie Town, but on April 1, 2003, Osakikamijima Town was established as Hiroshima Prefecture's "first new merger of the Heisei era." was born.

Nagashima
It is located approximately 400m northwest of the Mukoyama district of Osakikamijima, and is connected to Osakikamijima by the Nagashima Bridge, which was completed in 1988. The Itazuri tumulus, which has a horizontal stone chamber, remains. Originally, it was divided into Nagashima and Mejima, but in the mid-18th century salt pans were built between the two islands, and they became one island. Chugoku Electric Power's coal-fired power plant in the southern part of the island ceased operation in December 2011, but the "Osaki CoolGen Project" is a demonstration experiment of coal gasification power generation that is attracting attention from around the world as a cutting-edge technology. It is being implemented as Additionally, a sea fishing park has been established across the bridge, and the number of visitors is increasing. Currently, the main industry is farming, mainly the cultivation of mandarin oranges, and many farmers commute from outside the island.

不思議な雰囲気です。立派は立派だけど、廃れてもいて。鄙びた感じというよりは人はいる感じがするけど、ボロボロのお家も多い。なんでしょう、滅びゆく立派な街、という雰囲気です。これでいいような気もするし、何とかしたい気もするし。切ない風景でした。今日もありがとうございます！

造船とミカンで栄えた島です。いまやその面影はありません。人が少なくなりましたが、昭和の初めから未だに1つの国立高等商船、２つの県立高校が存在。
