Embark on an island adventure… in Tokyo!
While Tokyo is known as Japan’s metropolitan hub, it’s also home to a series of volcanic islands off the coast of the peninsula. Known as the Izu Islands, these destinations boast remarkable treasures of the earth and sea, including volcanoes, oceans, hot springs, mountains, and even a desert!
These 9 islands each contain a unique geological marvel. In this series of articles, we provide “geotours" of three Izu Islands: Oshima Island, an active volcanic island; Niijima Island, a scenic getaway with white sand beaches; and Hachijojima Island, a fisherman’s paradise. As the word “geo” in geotour suggests, each adventure offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in Tokyo’s beautiful oceans and natural landscapes.
Through these geotours, you’ll also learn about local efforts to preserve the islands’ geological landscapes and cultural heritages, including their national parks, architectural history and culinary practices.
Explore the beauty of Japan’s island treasures without leaving Tokyo!
