Geography
The Japanese Sea, which is about 14 kilometers to the northwest, floats on the Japanese Sea. The island is surrounded by rocks, and the island is covered with volcanic ash. There will be a gathering of people from the port of Ainoshima, located on the south coast of the island, to the center. The island's only school, Ainoshima elementary school, also exists near the harbor of Ainoshima.
Access
It's been about 40 minutes since I left the port. Three times a day. For more information, see the word for shipping.
It's special
It is known as the source of the watermelon. From 2005 to 2005, there is a project called "AinoshimaSquake Maker" to apply for a watermelon plant owner from abroad. Also, if you want to make a potato from an island, you can use it as a raw product. At one time, it was also the source of pyrethrum.
