Top Page > Izu Islands area
The Izu Islands consist of nine islands: Oshima, Toshima, Niijima, Shikinejima, Kozushima, Miyakejima, Mikurashima, Hachijojima, and Aogashima. Oshima Island is the closest to central Tokyo (about 120 km away), while Aogashima Island is the farthest (about 358 km away). When visiting each of the Izu Islands, it is generally accessible by boat, but when going to Hachijojima Island, it is convenient to take a 55-minute flight from Haneda Airport. The islands have a series of moving and inspiring scenery such as the blue and clear sea of islands in the Pacific Ocean, the thick and green subtropical forest, and the starry sky.
