Tsushima is an island off Kyushu in the middle of the Korean Strait between Japan and South Korea. Although a popular destination for Korean day trippers, it is still relatively unknown to western travelers. There are two main towns on the island: 🌍 Hitakatsu in the north and 🌍 Izuhara in the south.
This island is the setting of the video game Ghost of Tsushima.
