In the Japanese outline of the "man" shape, "Yi Na" is not only known as the "Galapagos Islands" in Asia, but also the Izu Islands , which is close to Japan. It extends from northwest to southeast, like a string of pearls embedded in the blue Pacific Ocean. The creator of these pearls is a volcano. As a product of the collision between the Asian and European plates and the Pacific plates, the Izu Islands have both rolling magma, hot springs, and lush and full of vitality. Therefore, during the outlying island tour boom in the last century, the Izu Islands were called Hawaii in Japan.
Izu Islands are an island group southeast of Tokyo Bay, Japan, located south of the Izu Peninsula and north of the Ogasawara Islands.
Izu Islands are also known as " Izu Islands ", "Izu Seven Islands". They are an island group southeast of Tokyo Bay, Japan. They are located south of the Izu Peninsula and north of the Ogasawara Islands. They are administratively under the jurisdiction of Tokyo Metropolitan (Tokyo Islands Department). The Izu Islands are composed of seven major islands (Oshima, Lejima, New Island , Kazushima, Miyake Island , Ozawa Island , Hachijo Island ) and islands such as Hachijo Island, Qingdao , and Torishima. It is about 540 kilometers long and belongs to the old and new volcanic island group in the Fuji Volcano zone, with an area of about 297 square kilometers and a population of 34,000.
Qingdao is a volcanic island in the southern part of the Izu Islands in Japan. It is the southernmost inhabited island in the Izu Islands. It is a typical double-type caldera volcano.
The largest area in the Izu Islands is the Big Island, with about 91 square kilometers, and is famous for the active volcano of Sanyuan Mountain and the vegetation camellia and azaleas.
The largest area in the Izu Islands is the Big Island, with about 91 square kilometers. It is famous for Sanyuan Mountain active volcano and vegetation camellia and azalea. It has a warm climate and has a temperate monsoon climate. However, the south of Hachijo Island has a subtropical marine climate, with beautiful subtropical scenery, and the highest point of the entire archipelago is also at Hachijo Island (854 meters). Hachijo Island is the second largest island besides the Oda Island, with an area of 69.52 square kilometers and 287 kilometers away from Tokyo. There are two active volcanoes on the island, Higashiyama (also known as Mihara Mountain , 701 meters above sea level) and Nishiyama (also known as Hachijo Fuji, 854 meters above sea level).
Hachijo Island is 287 kilometers away from Tokyo. There are two active volcanoes, Higashiyama (also known as Mihara Mountain, with an altitude of 701 meters) and Hachijo Fuji.
Hachijo Island was affected by Kuroshima ( Japanese warm current ). The annual average temperature was around 18 degrees Celsius. It is known as the "Sunari Island" with a population of about 5,000. However, because of its remoteness, it was used as an exile place in the Edo Shogunate era in the 12th century. For example, during the Warring States Period of Japan, Ukita Hideya, the "Western Army" who failed in the Sekihara Hokage War, was exiled here by Tokugawa Ieyasu . However, now the hot springs are everywhere on the island, which have become a resource to attract tourists.
On the new island of the Izu Islands, the "State of Padnen" looks similar to the Roman monument.
Yuonhama open-air hot spring (Tuohama open-air hot spring) on Xindao, you can enjoy the open-air bath with excellent sea views for free (you can wear a swimsuit).
In fact, it is not only Hachijo Island, but also Izu Islands belong to igneous islands, formed by undersea volcanic eruptions, so there are few flat grounds and many cliffs. The depth of the sea area near each island is more than 2,000 meters. Each island has its own characteristics. For example, the Yufuura landscape on New Island is a surfing paradise, the Shigen Island has a sea-spring hot spring, the Kamizu Island is a white sand beach and temple ruins, and the Miyake Island is the most suitable for snorkeling in the sea and sea fishing, the boxwood and the Miyake Primitive Forest on Osaka Island... Therefore, the Izu Islands are a natural leisure resort for the ocean and nature.
Izu Islands is a resort, a paradise for those who like to soak in hot springs and mainly relax.
In fact, in the 1960s, before Japan received the administration of the United States to hand over the Ryukyu Islands , the Izu Islands were the first choice for Japanese off-island vacations. At that time, the Izu Islands were developed in large quantities as "Hawaii of Japan", and hotels and amusement facilities should be complete.Later in 1972, as Japan accepted the Ryukyu Islands, the Japanese turned to Okinawa for vacation because the Izu Islands lacked the sun, waves and beaches that the Hawaiian Islands should have. The entertainment activities here are more hiking climbing, sea surfing, diving and hot spring baths.
Izu Islands lack the sunshine, waves and beaches that Hawaii should have, but they far outperform the latter in terms of hiking, sea surfing, diving and hot spring baths.
Izu Islands formed by the eruption of undersea volcano belong to Fuji Hakone Izu National Park, and the attractions are free.
Here I would like to mention Fuji Hakone Izu National Park. This is a national park in 1936, composed of special areas in four administrative regions: Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, , Yamanashi Prefecture, , and Shizuoka Prefecture, . It includes Japan's highest peak - Mount Fuji , triple caldera and volcanic irrigation lake - Ashino Lake, surrounding Hakone, and the Izu Peninsula with complex terrain uplifts, settlements, and sea erosions, and the Izu Islands formed by the eruption of undersea volcanoes. These places are all on the Fuji volcanic belt extending from the Pacific Ocean to the north and south of the central part of Honshu Island. This means that the attractions on the Izu Islands are basically free.
Of course, attractions are free, and the transportation costs, catering and accommodation must be paid for by yourself. The most common thing to go to the Izu Islands is to take regular passenger ships. Of course, there is an airport built on Hachijo Island and air transport connections with Tokyo. There are three flights a day, the ticket price is about 14,000 yen (about 777.5 yuan), and the flight is 55 minutes.
As for taking a ferry, it is basically available every day. The fare is related to the level of the island and the shops you are going to, about 4,300-17,760 yen (about 238-986 yuan). These can be purchased on the official website of Japan's Tokai Steamboat. The way to ride after
is the same as the process of taking the high-speed rail in our country. Basically, it is to pick up tickets at Tokyo Takeshiba Wharf, then fill in your personal information. If you have large luggage, you can declare it, and then wait for the ticket checking and boarding the ship to leave.
is close to Japan. Even after the "Okinawa fever" of the Ryukyu Islands, the Izu Islands are still a holiday island that Tokyo is passionate about.
As a close local area in Japan, it is not as far as 1,000 kilometers like the Ogasawara Islands. Even after the "Okinawa Fever" in the Ryukyu Islands, the Izu Islands are still a resort island that Tokyo is passionate about. The beautiful seaside scenery, volcanoes for climbing, unknown flowers blooming in various seasons, and various sea sports and decompression hot spring baths make this a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and anxiety of life.
