Arrow Where is Tomina, Japan? - 10-07-2008, 12:08 AM

Hello guys..Im from the Philippines and I watched a Japanese movie which was being shot in an island called Tomina..I looked at it on the internet and Google Earth, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to find it..The place was great and it was relaxing.

Hope you guys can help me with this..Thanks..!

Maybe you mean Toshima (利島) island? Or Tsushima (対馬), those are the only 2 islands that have similar names to what you are looking for... at least according to this list of Japanese islands.
