It's an island in Bikuni, Shakotan Town. Long ago, when herring were still being caught, large amounts were caught around this island too, so as a symbol of that, the local people came to call it Takarajima (Treasure Island). They say the island is heart-shaped when seen from above.

The Legend of Takarajima (Heart Island) A monster appeared off the coast of Bikuni and herring could no longer be caught, so the chief sent the man who was his daughter's lover to slay the monster. With a helmet and sword, he splendidly defeated the monster. However, the daughter, in despair believing that even he would be no match for the monster, threw herself into the sea, and the man who returned to the village followed her. Afterward, as the herring returned to Bikuni, a helmet-like rock appeared, and it came to be called Takarajima.

Apparently it's a power spot for making love come true.
