A group of reefs located about 30km west of Henashizaki in the southwest of Aomori Prefecture. They belong to Fukaura Town. The islands are said to have been named after sailors rescued from shipwrecks or fishermen. The largest reef is called Kaminoshima, and is 40m east to west, 15m north to south, and 4m above sea level. In 1959 (Showa 34), an unmanned lighthouse with a light range of 12.5 nautical miles was built here. The area is a good fishing ground for abalone, turban shells, and other fish, and since the Meiji period, Akita and Aomori prefectures have disputed over the ownership of the area, but it was incorporated into Aomori Prefecture in 1953. It is included in Tsugaru Quasi-National Park. [Hiroshi Yokoyama] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
青森県南西部、艫作崎(へなしざき)の西方海上約30キロメートルに浮かぶ岩礁群。深浦町(ふかうらまち)に属す。島名は難破船から救助された水夫の名によるとか漁夫の名によるとかいう。最大岩礁を上の島(かみのしま)といい、東西40メートル、南北15メートル、標高4メートルである。1959年(昭和34)に光達距離12.5海里の無人灯台が建てられた。この付近はアワビ、サザエなどの好漁場で、明治以来、秋田、青森の両県で帰属が争われたが、1953年青森県に編入された。津軽国定公園に含まれる。 [横山 弘] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
