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.


Tokyo Guide

What is there to do in Tokyo?

Abstract street design, towering skyscrapers and endless food outlets – Tokyo wholeheartedly lives up to its increasingly appealing reputation. Decorated in such outlandish and striking architecture, Japan’s capital city lends itself to a reputation of inauthentic, modern technology that belies its naturally verdant aesthetics. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a mecca of natural bliss, adorned in endless stretches of greenery, wholesome forestry and beautiful foliage that will tempt you into indulging in a challenging walk across the terrain. The abundance of natural beauty is refreshing amidst the sea of gargantuan buildings, but the unique and innovative designs that encompass the city steal the limelight. The contrasts of the districts create a constantly fascinating spectacle; futuristic imagery is projected alongside traditional Japanese entertainment such as sumo wrestling. Head to Shogun’s City to really embrace the paradoxical bonanza - the region in itself is worth the trip to Japan alone - though it would be unforgivable to miss out on the city’s more prominent landmarks; the giant malls, sci-fi streets and Tokyo Sky Tree, the world’s tallest tower, are particular highlights.

How do you get around Tokyo?

A city as impressive built as Tokyo is bound to have a plethora of transport options, so just pick whatever one is easiest for you. Subway, trains, rental cars, bicycle and taxis are all readily available, making it one of the best cities to manoeuvre around.
