Ryoshima Coast, or Southern Ryoshima Coast (「両島原」?; Ryōshima-bara; twin islands' plain), is a location in Ōkami and Ōkamiden. Always occupied by a massive cursed zone during Amaterasu and Chibiterasu's first visits, they must clear the darkness away in order to explore the coast.
Description[]
In Ōkami and Ōkamiden, Amaterasu and Chibiterasu visits this wide and beautiful coast after defeating Orochi and Bullhead respectively. It is a large landscape that they cross multiple times with mountainous areas further inland. The coast also harbors a beach connecting to the large ocean, which holds many visitors in different areas as well as secrets, sunken boats, and even rampaging gods. Up in the cliffs lies Ankoku Temple, which serves as Rao's main headquarters, despite her lack of attention for the temple. South of the temple lies the Moon Turret and Lunar Lagoon, the latter of which holds the haunted Sunken Ship.

- In Ōkami, Ryoshima Coast is the largest area in all of Nippon when the southern and northern halves are put together.
- Upon meeting the sailor by the stairs to Ankoku Temple as Chibiterasu only, he would say that he is relieved that he survived the Water Dragon's attack to the Goryeo.
