The 150 kilometres chain consists of twelve small islands located between Yakushima and Amami-Oshima. The islands have a total area of 101.35 square kilometres.
Administratively, the whole group belongs to Toshima Village, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Only seven of the islands are permanently inhabited. The islands, especially Takarajima, are home to the Tokara Pony.

Akusekijima (悪石島), is one of the Tokara Islands
..... Until 1624, the island was part of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Akusekijima is famous for the masked god Boze (ボゼ),
the island deity. Islanders donning Boze masks come out during the annual lunar O-Bon matsuri. Protectors of the island and its natural assets, the Boze frighten small children to ensure their safety for the coming year.
