Home > Ie-shima

Ie-shima (伊江島 -island) is an island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It lies a few kilometers off the Motobu Peninsula of Okinawa Honto. It measures 20 km around. The island constitutes Ie Village.

The most notable geographic feature is a peak called Gusukuyama (or 'Tacchu') that resembles a volcano but is actually an erosion artifact.

U.S. journalist Ernie Pyle died there during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II.

Alternately called "Peanut Island," for its general shape and peanut crop, or "Flower Island," for its abundant flora and more sizeable crop, Ie now draws tourists by bus and ferry, thought its overnight accommodations are not yet extensive.
