Kage

Kage [判; かげ / Sunpaku: かげ] is a city located on the island of Kagenan in Zōhai Prefecture. It is the only settlement on the island, and it was historically split into a number of smaller villages. As of 2020, it had an estimated population of 11,500.
The central region of Kagenan was originally a number of smaller fishing villages which were merged into the city of Kage in 1955. As a result of this merger, many local industries and fishing ports were abandoned or fell into decline. The west coast of the island, once a thriving hub of commercial fishing and agriculture, has since become poverty-stricken and delapidated. Much of the infrastructure outside the city centre had to be completely renovated in 2017, following a typhoon which destroyed large swathes of Kage's outskirts.
Kage was settled by travelers from the southern coast of Dainan in the 11th century, and its population grew quickly due to the island's arable soil which supported farming. The fishing industry also flourished quickly, particularly in the east, where Hachikage Harbour was established in the early 1100s. Perhaps the largest and most well-known historical structure is Odo Castle, which was constructed as a defense against Kantonese marine troops in the 1600s. The castle fell into disuse after the 18th century. During an excavation of the site, Chinese ceramics were found, showing the extensive trade that Kagenan had participated in.
Kage is a city blessed with a remarkable number of spots of scenic beauty, particularly around the coast. Taking advantage of this, the city has promoted tourism as a primary industry since the 1960s. Numerous tourist facilities such as hotels and viewing towers have been built across the island. The island of Kagenan is connected to the larger island of Dainan by Atate Bridge. In order to get to Shinan, residents must take a ferry from Hachikage Harbour, the largest port on the island.
