Tomogashima Islands
Four small islands in the Kitan Strait - Jinoshima, Torajima, Kamishima and Okinoshima - together called "Tomogashima", with rich nature and brick ruins. On Okinoshima the former gun batteries remain as they were: the first battery near the summit has a fine view, near the white Western-style lighthouse; the second was blown up after the war; and you can go inside the third. It is 20 minutes by boat from Kada Port.
