Upper Yard

Upper Yard (神の島 [アッパー･ヤード], Kami no Shima [Appā Yādo], literally translated as Island of God) is an island in the sky, that unlike other sky islands is a piece of solid land (soil), not a cloud. It was once the part of Jaya that was sent up in the sky four hundred years ago by the Knock-Up Stream. This is where ruins of the fallen golden city of Shandora rest and is where most of the Skypiea arc took place. A Milky Road leads to Upper Yard from Angel Island.
