The Ojika Islands comprise 17 islands, large and small.

The largest island in the Kujuku-shima group is Kuroshima. Living on the island is much like living in paradise, with starry skies at night and a close connection to the flowers that announce the changing of the seasons. Kuroshima inhabitants divide their time between fishing and farming. Visitors can enjoy unique shima-meshi, or island rice, together with Kuroshima tofu.

When Christianity was banned in the early 17th century, a number of Christians fled to Kuroshima and lived here as Kakure Kirishitan, or "Hidden Christians." Even now, 80 percent of the island's inhabitants are Catholic, and Kuroshima Church acts as a symbol of the island. Even for non-believers, the colors of the church's stained glass windows will cleanse the spirit.
