The island which was made by protuberance coral is nearest from Amami Big Island. It is still rising 2mm a year. There is a flight from Kagoshima, so it doesn't belong to Amami Big island but is a part of Kagoshima prefecture. There is no sight seeing point, but the sea is very beautiful and there is no Habu.
