Takashima, Nagasaki (Nishisonogi)

Takashima (高島町, Takashima-chō) was a town located in Nishisonogi District, Nagasaki, Japan.

Previously the town had been much more heavily populated until the abandonment of Gunkanjima island in 1974.

On January 4, 2005, Takashima, along with the towns of Iōjima, Kōyagi, Nomozaki, Sanwa and Sotome (all from Nishisonogi District), was merged into the expanded city of Nagasaki and no longer exists as an independent municipality.

Pre-merger Takashima had consisted of the following four Islands (order is from north to south).
