Niijima Guide

Niijima Ferry Port

Lying in the Philippine Sea, Niijima is a volcanic Japanese island laying to the south of Tokyo. The ferry routes departing the port are to other coastal towns and cities belonging to Japan, the most common being the daily sailing to the capital city of Tokyo.

What is there to do around Niijima?

Bathing in natural hot springs whilst looking out at the deep blue waters of the Philippine Sea doesn’t sound like a bad way to spend a few hours. The Matsugasita Masayu Hot Spring and Yunohama Roten Onsen are the standout attractions on an island inundated by a myriad of interesting and adventurous landmarks. To continue exploring the great outdoors of Niijima, Habushuira Beach is the most popular beach on the island and offers beautiful views in glorious weather – an idyllic combination. Whilst at the beach, it is worthwhile grabbing a surfboard and hitting the waves. The beach is one of Japan’s most renowned and widely recognised surfing spots, and those who aren’t adept at surfing can sit back and watch the surfers tackle the intense waves. For a refreshing change of pace from the wave of surfers, the Niijima Glass Art Centre allows visitors the chance to learn the art of creating original glass product.

How do visitors get around Niijima?

The island is relatively small, so it is possible to cover much of it by foot or bicycle.


Shikinejima Guide

What is there to do in Tokyo?

Looking out across the beautiful landscape of Shikinejima, you’ll find it hard to believe you’re only a few miles from Tokyo. Luxurious beaches interspersed by natural hot springs decorate the shoreline – the island has become a mecca of idyllic water and stunning surroundings. It’s rare for such a beautiful island to have an attraction outside of the golden sands of the beach, but the hot springs are the jewel in Shikinejima’s crown; many travel to the island purely to bathe in the warm water whilst overlooking the endless stretch of blue sea that descends into the horizon. The temperature fluctuates greatly and can become extremely hot amidst the peak of the summer sun – for a reliably tranquil experience, head there in the evening and bask in the starry skied beauty. The hot springs may bogart the limelight, but the beaches are still an ideal way to while away a pleasant afternoon. Tomari Beach, towards the north of the island, is the most popular; the surrounding rocky mountainside and desolate coves provide an alluring setting, and the neighbouring beach of O-ura is a haven for snorkelling around the calm waters.

How do you get around Shikinejima?

The island is very small, covering 3.9 square kilometres in total, so it is possible to cover the entirety of it by foot.
