Oki-no-Kuroshima Island

This small island is situated southwest of Lover's Cape, one of the Eight Beautiful Views of Susami. The island has a cave which continues under the sea, and from March to the end of April, and from late June to the end of October, scuba diving can be enjoyed here. Records state the island once served as a base for the Kumano Navy and legend has it that the navy's treasure is hidden somewhere on or under the island.
