    Tokyo Kozushima Mura Kobe Yama 1
    A 15-minute drive from Kozushima Port. This wooden walkway is located a short distance west along the road from the island's northernmost tip. Along its 500-meter-long length, you can take in views not only of the area's deep-blue sea but also the Izu Islands and other islands, and even Mt. Fuji. A shop (only open in the summer) is located nearby and there are steps along the walkway which extend down to the sea, making it possible to use the inlet along which the walkway is built for swimming. There's also a diving platform! The walkway is also a popular destination to take photos of the area's star-filled skies at night.

    人が少ないので思う存分飛び込めます笑。午後再訪すると人が多すぎでしたが、それはそれで楽しめます。駐車場やシャワーも完備もされています。

    Tokyo Kozushimamura 118

    タクシーで神津島の見学をあちこちしたとき、最後に連れて行ってくれたのがこちら。地理地勢的な説明も自然の説明もまた歴史産業的な説明も一通りあって、神津島のことが何となく理解できました。訪問が8月のやや暑い日だったので、館内の空調がうれしかったです。

  • Yukagen-no-ana
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Niijimamura Shikinejima
    "This sightseeing destination is located on the way to Jinata Onsen, a natural hot spring bath hidden amidst rocky mountains, traveling from the urban center on the east side of Shikinejima Island. Specifically, it is a hole in a stone wall marked with stones inscribed with characters stating in Japanese ""Yukagen no Ana (the hole of bath temperature)"" As its name hints at, the hole is connected to an underground hot spring, and if you stick your hand inside you will be able to feel the warmth it emits. In the winter, the hole even emits steam, and it is a fun destination to visit while checking out the island's natural hot spring baths."

    Tokyo Niijimamura Shikinejima
    This scenic lookout is located a short distance south of Konokuchi Park along the road on the east side of the Shikinejima Island. The site was discovered by island residents and is maintained by volunteers. From the observatory, visitors can take in the vivid contrast created by the blue sky and sea, bare white rock, and lush greenery; you can also see Miyakejima Island and, on clear days, all the way to Mikurajima Island. The area is also known as a habitat for black-tailed gulls and is a perfect place to go birdwatching. The observatory is one of Shikinejima's top sightseeing destinations.

    Tokyo Niijimamura Shikinejima
    This scenic lookout is located a short distance west along the coast from the Maruyama Compass Stone on the northwest side of the Shikinejima Island. The observatory is situated at the top of 100 stone steps on Mt. Kanbiki which is 99 meter high above sea level, and from here you can see Kanbiki Bay and, beyond that, Nakanoura Beach and Oura Beach. In addition, on clear days, you can see all the way to the Izu Peninsula, the Izu Islands, and even Mt. Fuji. Because of its beauty, this view has even been selected for inclusion in the 100 Views of New Tokyo list. This spectacular view is well-worth the effort required to see it.
  • Toyoji Temple
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Niijimamura Shikinejima 11-1
    This Buddhist temple is located right next to Ishijirogawa Beach on the east side of Shikinejima Island and is the island's only one. A spectacular 900-year-old yew plum pine designated a Natural Monument by the Tokyo metropolitan government stands on the temple's grounds. Nagi (Asian bayberry) also grows wild on the grounds, and this is the northernmost limit for this plant which is mostly seen in Kyushu, Okinawa, and other warm areas. These plants have also accordingly been designated a Cultural Property and can be seen growing throughout the year. In addition, the temple is an activity base for the Shikinejima Hokke Wasantai, a Buddhist hymn choir.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
