Pulau Kanobe is a small Indonesian island located in the Ayu Archipelago above the northern tip of the Waigeo Islands. Pulau Reni is part of the Raja Ampat Regency in the Southwest Papua Province of Indonesia. Pulau Ayau and Pulau Reni are two other small inhabited islands near Pulau Kanobe. Access to the island is limited to small boats due to the reefs and the small size of the island.

World War II

Pulau Reni and all the islands in the Ayau Archipelago were occupied by the Japanese Empire during World War II from 1942 until the end of the war in 1945.
