Toshima is an island belonging to the Izu Islands in Japan. The administrative section belongs to the village of TokyoZQ190X.

Geography

The island is 144 kilometers from Tokyo, and the Izu Ōshima is 27 kilometers south, and may be written as "Exeunt Island." The area is 4.12 square kilometers, and the circumference is 7.7 kilometers. It's the smallest island on Izu 7. It's a cone - shaped volcano centered at the highest peak, Miyagi Miyayama.) The island was surrounded by a 200-meter-high sea-frequency cliff, and sometimes even a regular ship can pass by when the weather gets worse without good ports. It was also the completion of a 100-meter-grade pier (56.81). Still, it is known that the ancients settled on the ground, and you can see the remains of the ancient ruins of the ruins of Osama, Kkekai, and so on.

The natural environment

It has been said that the entire island is made up of a rich forest that covers 80 percent of the island. Also, the zXQ209X - born sawfish is considered to be an original species, unlike those found in the southern part of the Izu Islands. On the southern slope of the sea cliff lies the habitat of the gannet. There's also a relatively high ratio of encountering dolphins watching and diving tours, because there's also an aoric turtles as well as other islands in the Izu Islands. You can also see sharks. Also, there are whales living around Toshima, but there is a danger of collision with a ship, so the area is considered to be one of the areas of caution on the voyage. In the early days of the Showa, the damage to agriculture by mice was marked, and the record of the killing of the sea animals was recorded. Nihonichi is naturally distributed only to the Izu Ōshima in the Izu Islands.
