Kushima is Kushima, which is the western part of the Ehime port, about three kilometers offshore, and the shape of the bay entrance. It's part of the Japanese Sea Islands, and it belongs to Oshima City as a administrative area.

Geographic history

It's the highest mountain, Akamori, a bird shop. The fields in the mountains are unique to the south, the terraces, many of the orchards, such as periphery, and the roads leading to cars are maintained. The rainfall is 800 millimeters per year, but the river is steep and low in volume. There was a problem with the water supply, but the water supply started at the Shikoku Shizushima reservoir in 1973.

Traffic bridge issues

The ferry route from Iseshima port was "Kushima Ferry" (about 20 minutes) and had problems with the decay of the vessels used, but not with the prospect of building an alternative ship. Since the line between Shikoku and Kushima is the smallest and only 320 meters, it is the home of the people of the Kushima people and the land itself that was built by the Kushima people, and in 1991 there was a bridge development conference. At Iseshima City, they calculated the cost of their 2010-year-old business operations, and measured the budget of their budgets for 2008, and conducted an oversized design, deep-sea subspection, sea-board research, and bridge-step survey of the terrain. In 2010, for the first time, two thirds of the investment and national expense were put in for the first time. In June 2013, a bridge construction was built, and a total cost of 7 billion yen and 2 1/2 year's year was completed, and the Kushima bridge was completed at a total of 468 meters. It opened on April 3, 2016. In addition, the Kushima ferry was abolished on the same date, and in turn, a bus from Toshishima's car is arriving on the island.

Culture

They have a very different accent and accent from the old city of Iseshima. They remain strong. It is also pointed out that as the interaction becomes more intense, the difference is gradually less.

Come on, come on, come on, come on. (and has contrastative significance). (Sisters younger and older women). You're older than me. We'll refer to you later. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. A lot of others. It's characteristic of putting the ending of the word 'y' and 'y' on the end. When you're fighting, when you're scolding your kids, the last thing you say is, "Hey! I often say "one." Respectfully, I call you "you" to older men and older men. Older people think of themselves as "I'm" and say "I'm" about them.
