A small island known as Sensuijima lies just off the coast from the town, and is accessible by regular ferries. The name of the island derives from a legend in which a [[Taoism|Taoist]] immortal (''[[sennin]]''), intoxicated by the natural beauty of the area, lay down, and became an island. The island is roughly six kilometers around, and rises to the 154m Ômisen mountain at the center. Another peak on the island is known as Gozen-yama. It is officially part of the [[Setonaikai National Park]], which was established in 1934. A number of much smaller islands, including Benten-jima and Kôgô-jima, surround Sensuijima.<ref>Plaque at the Tomo ferry port.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/36892147611/sizes/k/]</ref>
