Shimokoshiki Island (下甑島, Shimokoshiki-jima) is the largest island in the Koshikijima Islands. Its coasts are washed by the East China Sea. The island's highest peak is Mount Otake 604 m (ca. 1,982 ft) housing a long-range radar station of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force at 31.694625°N 129.715992°E.
Shimokoshiki-jima has very rugged terrain even compared to the other Koshikijima Islands, the majority of the island is composed of overlapping mountains 400–500 meters high. As a result, many scenic cliffs are scattered along the west coast, with the most notable being the Napoleon Rock.
