椛島-KABASHIMA

【Resident Basic Register Information as of August 6, 2025】
Registered residents: 86
【Origin of the Island】
One theory suggests the name ”樺島(KABASHIMA) “evolved from “川場島(KABASHIMA) ” due to its abundant water.
Originally spelled “Kashima,” it was changed to “Kashima” to avoid confusion with Kashima in Nagasaki City.
Whether this was due to the islanders’ reserved nature or some other consideration remains unclear.
【Island Features】
The island is believed to have been inhabited for thousands of years, as evidenced by the discovery of Jomon pottery.
Kashiwajima Elementary and Junior High School is currently closed.
While part of the gymnasium roof is damaged, there appears to be no timeline for repairs.
