Kohama Island

As the TV drama Churasan was very popular all over Japan, Kohamajima is visited by comparatively many tourists.

Kohaguraso, a historic house in Kohama, the only village on the island, is one of the most important tourist attractions, as the drama was set here.

[2] The house, which is built in the traditional style with a hip roof and a veranda, is surrounded by a wall made of coral stones.

Another tourist attraction is a road in the eastern part of the island where sugarcane is grown.

The Taketomi town authorities maintain a single combined elementary and junior high school on the island: Kohama Elementary and Junior High School (竹富町立小浜小中学校).

Kohama is located between Iriomote and Ishigaki Islands.
The Yaeyama Islands are located at the southwest point of Okinawa Prefecture.
