Himeshima (姫島村, Himeshima-mura) is a village located in Higashikunisaki District, Ōita Prefecture, Japan.

Signs of the volcanic activity which formed the now-connected islets 300,000 years ago can be found throughout the island.

It is sometimes referred to as "Himeshima Fuji" due to its importance to the people of the island and its distinctive lava domes.

[3] Himeshima is accessible by ferry from Imi Port (伊美港) in Kunisaki and has 12 regularly scheduled round-trip departures per day.

[1][7] In October of every year, there is a "Kuruma Prawn Festival" (車えび祭) for visitors to enjoy the local specialty.
