Tsushima City covers Tsushima Island, between Kyushu and the Korean Peninsula, and has the prefecture's largest area. The island is mostly mountainous, and the deeply indented Aso Bay is a highlight. Historic sites tell of exchange with the Asian mainland, such as Kaneda Castle, an ancient mountain fortress, and Watatsumi Shrine, whose torii gates stand in the sea.
