【Resident Basic Register Information as of August 6, 2025】 Registered residents: １ 【Origin of the Island】 There are several theories. 1) The theory that it comes from “Isayao”, the guardian of “Okinokamijima Shrine”. 2) The theory that it refers to the people who lived in Nozaki (a place name). 3) The theory that it was called “Nozaki” because it implies that hidden Christians ruled over the island. 【Island Features】 There are an additional 400 deer living here. The islander is the manager of the island’s accommodation facility. There are some uninhabited islands in Japan, but apparently people live on this island at least five days a week (information Ira learned from asking the manager directly). Photography from angles overlooking the shrine is strictly prohibited.
