Irabu Island is one of the islands of Miyagi. Until we became part of the city of Miyako Island by the 2005 urban integration, it was the center of the city of Ise-Yuji, with Shimoji-shima adjacent to the west.
Geography
It's about 5 kilometers northwest of Miyako Island. The flat terrain on a coral island is flat all over, and the highest point is a pasture mountain at an altitude of 89.0 meters in the southeast. Shimoji-shima is adjacent to the west, and the islands are separated by a river of about 40 to 100 meters, but because it is narrow, it looks like an island with a river running in between. There is a mangrove in this cove, and fishing crabs, such as the blackpolls. There are six bridges on the bridge, the Iseshima Bridge, the Intercontinental Bridge, the Tokyo Bridge, and the other bridge. Of these, the bridge has been closed down since 2009 because of old age, and since January 2013, the new bridge has been replaced and opened on March 16, 1920. Between the Miyako Island and January 31, 2015, Iseshima Bridge was opened. The term route between Sakura and plain port was done away with on the same day.
The settlement
The old town name "Italy" was combined before the Miyako Island city. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll be right back. (It's Sawada speaking.) (Akishima). (I wasn't at home.) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. (Iseshima)

Traffic
Republic Bass - link Irabu Island to Miyako Island port) across Iseshima Great Bridge. The Miyagi Kondobus - a Miyako Island and Shimoji-shima passenger terminal - runs an airport contact bus that connects the terminal. Within Irabu Island, we pass through the southern shore of an island where no Republicans can pass. There are several stops on the island, and they are launched to meet the departure of the Shimoji-shima airport, but they can also be used between the Irabu Islands. It also runs a line connecting the Miyako Island and Shimoji-shima passenger terminal, but it doesn't stop in Irabu Island. In addition to a number of taxi rentals putting headquarters and sales offices on the island, you can use taxis and rental cars that are operating at a bridge at Miyako Island. Also, with the opening of the new terminal on March 30, 1920, a counter of three rental cars was installed at Shimoji-shima airport.
