==History==
The islands were used by Buddhist monks for Shugendō. The folklore of the region holds that ''Ennogyoja'', the founder of shugendo, underwent training on the steep cliffs of Tomogashima in the seventh to eighth centuries. This gave rise to the nickname of "The island of shugendo (mountain asceticism)" for Tomogashima.
Later, during the Meiji period, a brick fort and lighthouse were built.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Views of Tomogashima, a handscroll painting )〕 Also during this time gun batteries and other defences, along with various support facilities, were constructed to counter foreign warships. Tomogashima was a critical component of the Shusei Kokubō (守勢国防 - i.e. "Static Defence") policy of the 1870s and 1880s, which emphasised coastal defences. Access to the cluster by the public was strictly prohibited by the Imperial Japanese Army up to the end of World War II.〔(Whispers of priests and warriors / Military past pervades Tomogashima island ) The Japan News ''by the Yomiuri Shimbun'', July 14th, 2013.〕
