Let's explore Toba's remote islands

A fishing island in the Irago Channel. It is also the setting for Yukio Mishima's novel "Sound of the Sea." There are actual places on the island that appeared in the story, such as the wartime ruins of the Kankabutsu and the long stone steps of Yashiro Shrine, so you can fully immerse yourself in the world of the novel.
From late September to early October, you can observe the migration of the long-tailed butterfly (a type of hawk), and the common butterfly (butterfly) can also be seen flying in. The island is full of nature and has a circumference of 4km, perfect for walking.

As Yukio Mishima once said, ``The most beautiful thing on Kamishima is Yatsushiro Shrine, and the other is the lighthouse.'' The view from here is especially spectacular.
When the white light of a lighthouse overlaps with the rapids of the Irago Channel, the shadows of huge ships passing through the sea, and the horizon that spreads in the distance, a moving emotion flows through you.

The location of the climax scene of Yukio Mishima's novel "Sound of the Sea." In fact, during the war, we observed the impact of test rounds fired from the Aichi Prefecture side.

Other sites include the Kaniana Tumulus, and the head and torso mounds of the legendary naval general Yoshitaka Kuki.

A terminal built as the gateway to the sea in Toba. TobaCity liner boats and sightseeing boats that tour Toba Bay arrive and depart here.
