Nicknamed "Battleship Island" (Gunkanjima), Mitsukejima island is Suzu's most famous attraction about 200 meters from shore. 見附島"Mitsukejima" means "Found Island," supposedly named by the priest Kukai (Shingon Buddhist sect founder) when it was the first island that he "found" on his way back from Sado island in Niigata. It was also "found" by a deity who descended here.
