On the coast of about 5 - 15 kilometers, especially from north to northeast, there's a huge dry spot called the Eighthse, and it's also famous for diving spots. The inside of the island is a pond wetland, and it's important as well as a bird's flight point, where rare creatures, such as the xinoway lizard, live. On November 1st, the whole island is designated as a national intercontinental bird preserve.
History
It was once two islands separated by the narrow strait that runs south and south. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Sasai clan, the Lord of Shikoku, crossed a stone bridge and made it possible for two islands to travel. Not long after that, the piled sand buried the stone bridge and connected the two islands to Ikema Island. And in the past, the Channel became a narrow, narrow eve, and it became called the Iine Boou (Eng of the North). Between 1924 and 1947, there was a dry-up business of Irene Boo. Two water-guarded beaches with roads at the entrance of the bay were built, and about 20 ha wells were built, and the remaining coves became river basins. Part of the dry ground, called Unimuihara, has now created an athletic field for the junior high school in the middle of the pond. Moreover, fishing harbors from 1963 to 1982 (57) completely blocked the waterways from the open sea, and the former coves became fresh water and wetlands. This is today's periphery. In addition, "unimoi" is an old name for the coast near the dry country. In Japanese, "uni" is also called "uni" by the shape of a sandstone that means "sai" and "sai." Also, Mui means "many," and because there were sand mountains on this beach, it was named Unii.
Cultural custom
The custom of citrus was preserved until recent years, so it is also noted in folk science. It is famous for still leaving the custom of belief (from the 16th century C.E. onwards) in a dark color. In the Great God's temple, there is a cult that is centered around the five worshipers of Ikema Island. There is a festival called "Mierkwitz" each year, which will be interceded for three days in September of the year. A male altar has been formed, and a male altar group has been formed, from grandfather to father to son. And it's not until you're 55 years old that you can be accepted into the Mutu-ne-ya. From Ikema Island, migrations are taking place on the islands of Miyagi. In 1723, there were 20 people in a long Miyako Island village, 35 in Irabu Island, 35 in 1737, and 35 in 1874 in a village of ZX1011X. (These people are called intercontinentals, along with the inhabitants of Ikema Island.)
Industrial
In 1936, fishing was started by the Kozoo Guard. There used to be a lot of fishing in the ocean, and it was famous for fishing. The setting up of exclusive economic waters in the '50s has destroyed the fishing industry, but the fishing industry is still the center of the industry, and Tsukiji is the special product of this island. With the completion of the pond bridge in 1992 and the new tourist route from Miyako Island, tourism has become a major industry in recent years.
