Kakarajima

Kakarajima (加唐島灯台) or Kagara sima is an island to the north of Yobuko, which is in the Higashimatsuura District of Saga, Japan. It is 1.75 miles long from north to south, and three quarters of a mile wide, with steep shores.[1] In 1884 it was reported that a cable had been laid between Korea and Japan, with an intermediate station on Kagara sima.[2] The island is a protected area for the vulnerable Yellow Bunting (Emberiza sulphurata).[3]
