The Niwatori Kojima are a couple of small scenic islets off Hakatajima Island on the Shimanami Kaido. Overlooking them is a beautiful campsite with ships of all kinds cruising past, and a good swimming and rock-pooling beach. For information, tent rentals, and payment, go to the Hakata Michi no Eki.
