Omishima

The largest island in the Geiyo Islands is known as the “Island of the Spirits” and the “Island of Treasures” because it is home to Oyamazumi Shrine where visitors will find countless examples of armor and other designated national treasures.
The island also features a salt factory, art museums, hot springs, and the Tatara Shimanami Park.
