Kabushima

Kabushima (蕪島) is a small island located in Hachinohe, Aomori, in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan.

Part of the Tanesashi Coast, it was incorporated into the Sanriku Fukkō National Park from May 2013.

Although called it is an island, it is connected to the mainland by a causeway constructed in 1942 so that people may walk to it from the shore.

The island is noted as a nesting ground for Black-tailed gulls and has been protected as a National Natural Monument of Japan since 1922.

The shrine burned completely down on 5 November 2015,[4] but it was rebuilt and expanded at the cost of 5 billion yen.
