| Ubanari Island is an uninhabited
island located northeast about 0.2km from Noharazaki on Iriomote
Island. The altitude of the island is 17m, and the area is 0.05sq.km.
Local residents call this island “Aujima” otherwise “Au”
and “Aushima”. Because the shape of this island seems
like that of a samisen turned sideways when it is seen from Aragusuku
Island, and it is called “Sanshin yama”. Although the
residents of Iriomote Island or Taketomi Island were pasturing goats
there after the Second World War, it is wasteland now. |
