There is a harpy nose at the north end of the island and a zXQ211X and Miyaji islands around it. There are XXQ 185Xs in the west and open in the south. XXQ190X (and there are also Toshima) The island has a large, flat shape in the center, forming a small bay, with a Bay in the east, and an Eagle's Bath in the west. At the narrowest point, it is only about 200 meters and has the name of "ship" The northern part of the island is loosely raised and the hills are spreading. The South is in the middle of the island's landmark. From this location and shape, it is also called the natural seawall of the beach port that blocks the seasonal winds in the northwest.

Using the land

Forests are spreading around the top of the mountain, but at the bottom, the ponds are laid on the slope to grow onions and apples. The growth of soy sauce is so abundant that it is known as "The Island of Magpies" or "The Island of Fruit."

History

On September 3rd (1465) and the western part of China, which dominated the Indo-East of the Inland Sea. The Edo era became Iwayama's territory. On June 13, 1944, at the end of the Pacific War, the IToshima, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm in the middle of a sinking accident. On the 19th of March, in Matsuyama, Japan's Japanese Emperor, who was happy to go to Matsuyama, visited Iseshima on holiday. I'm going to take some of the Gogosmus fly beetle, Tuberadia, and Hudgnami. I looked at the candy and seaweed samples taken by young people in the area. I'm also singing about this song.

Industrial

The main industry is farming and growing pearls and cacao. There are fewer lowlands and less historic water supplies, few rice fields and fields, and gardens are grown on the slope of the mountain.

Agriculture

Then apples, Nonos, Mecans, and so on, came out of a wide variety of orchards. Since about the year 1950 after the Pacific War, orchards have gradually been monopolized into Umshmicans. After that, he went over prices, typhoon damage, dispersal of production time, and dissipating the focus of his labor.

Fishing

After that, there was an epidemic of net breeding, but then it's out of business. It's not large, but there's pearl-and-graining as a breeding industry.

Culture

Ship dancing: Unselected private culture and state-defined non-citizen culture. It's the fall festival trick. It is said that the birth of the birth of the Iseshimaese when the Iseshima Army, whose headquarters were in the Master Islands, won its victory. Again, this was the source of the Ha Ni's style.

Traffic

There are two ports on the island, one for the night and the other for the harbor, and each ferry is shuttled by a stock company from the beach port. The time it takes is about 10 minutes.
