Islands full of eggs and birds
(part omitted)
Minami Kojima Island Kita Kojima Island
Minami Kojima Island is 150 meters above sea level and has a circumference of 3.5 kilometers. Kita Kojima Island is 130 meters above sea level and is 3 kilometers in circumference. Both of these islands consist of rocks that jut straight out of the sea and have no trees on them. They're like "Onigashima" in the Momotaro story, or the island where "Gankutsu-O" lives. These islands are usually called "Torishima" or bird islands, and they really are home to many sea birds including terns, albatrosses and gannets. The islands are full of eggs and fish.
