Senkaku Islands Travelogue (1) Takara Tetsuo, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (former Principal of Yaeyama Agricultural High School)
Islands where you can fish for bonito on the shore
The Senkaku Islands
When you hear about "uninhabited islands", you probably imagine some remote islands far across the sea that feel rather spooky. Last April I went to some uninhabited islands called the "Senkaku Islands" to collect insects. Now I'll tell you where the Senkaku Islands are and what the islands are like.
It takes about 19 hours to get to the Islands in a 10-horsepower, 25-ton fishing boat, traveling north-northwest from Ishigaki Island in Yaeyama. The location is about 185 kilometers north of Taiwan.
The Islands contain a number of islands, including Uotsuri Island, Kobi Island (Kuba Island), Kita Kojima Island and Minami Kojima Island.
