Overview

Irohajima is a collective name for over 50 islands of various sizes in Imari Bay, said to have been named by Kobo Daishi, a revered Buddhist monk, due to their beauty. Irohajima Viewpoint is known as the best place to admire the beauty of Irohajima. From the viewpoint, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of numerous islands of various sizes floating on the blue sea. Shimayamasima is particularly noteworthy; it's the only island among Irohajima that you can access.

This park offers a wide range of facilities for visitors of all ages, including slides, mazes, a beach, coin showers, and restrooms. You can also enjoy marine sports such as sea kayaking around Shimayamasima. Irohajima Viewpoint is a recommended tourist spot for everyone—nature lovers, families, couples, and more.
