Coastal village, located to the west of But.  The Swain River runs inland, rougly due southward to the east of the village, and a river crossing of the coastal road. The village is known as Suain 1 and Suain 2 (closer to the road).

Justin Taylan visited the area in August 2005:
"I visited Suain with the Japanese Ministry of Health Labor & Welfare to locate war dead. Villagers had stories of Japanese infantry weapons still emplaced in the hills, and fighting positions dug in the area. There were some wartime relics in the village, including a jukie heavy machine gun and 75mm artillery shell. With their help, we located the remains of several Japanese soliders. These remains represented soldiers killed by air attacks or starvation, all had very minimal equipment. In September, the remains were recovered to Japan.
