It is an app to find the sacred island of Okinoshima
floating on the horizon of the Genkai Sea.
The sacred island of Okinoshima is located in the middle of the Genkai Sea.
The island have strict taboos and we can not land on the island.
However, we can see Okinoshima from other islands in the Genkai Sea (Tsushima strait) and the main islands of Kyushu and Honshu.
This app helps you find Okinoshima, which is not easy to find, and enjoy the World Heritage Site, "Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region".
The latest update adds the AR function for the Shimbaru-Nuyama Mounted Tomb Group, the component part of the world heritage.
