先島諸島
The Diaoyu/Senkaku Island are located northeast of Taiwan and southwest of Okinawa in the East China Sea. Administratively, they depend on the city of Ishigaki, on the island of the same name, in Okinawa Prefecture. Geographically, they are a part of the Sakishima Islands archipelago - along with the Yaeyama Islands and Miyako Islands (further to the south) - and the larger Ryukyu Islands.
