An island located about 10 km north-northwest of Cape Naryu in northern Kyoto Prefecture. Its circumference is about 4 km. It belongs to Maizuru City, but is uninhabited. It is also called Oshima, and together with the neighboring island of Kutsujima (small island), it is also called Okinoshima. It is part of Wakasa Bay Quasi-National Park, and due to the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current, it has a virgin forest of warm-climate broadleaf trees. It has also been designated a national natural monument as a breeding ground for streaked shearwaters. The area around the island is a popular diving spot.
