Tips for this island

Wide open ground: grass, beach and roads. The Windward Wayfarers get an extra move starting their turn here, and fast monsters can reach far villages early.

Swamp costs 3 moves to cross and gives poor defense (30%). Go around it unless you have amphibious monsters.

With 10 villages, every one you hold pays 2 musubi a turn. Grab the ones closest to your keep first, then fight over the ones in the middle.

This is a big island: hire a few fast scouts early so you are not still walking when the enemy arrives.
