Sarushima Island

Today, I want to share my short trip to Sarushima Island:)

Sarushima is the only natural island in Tokyo Bay and is a wonderful place for a day trip, particularly during the summer.

Ir can be reached by a 10 minute ferry ride from Mikasa Pier. (about an hour drive from Tokyo Station)

This island is full of historical and cultural significance. Due to its position in Tokyo Bay, Sarushima has long been regarded as a strategic point of defense for the Japanese mainland. 

The island contains the ruins of militaristic fortifications.

Brick-lined tunnels and walls of fortresses still remain from generations past, though they are now overgrown with plants for a very neat atmosphere of walking through important places of times gone by.

Some simple pathways snake throughout the island, taking you from the beach area through the militaristic ruins, and then to the outer banks of the island. 

Sarushima is also a popular spot for fishing, and fishermen will often be found casting their lines into the ocean at their lucky points on different corners of the island.

We had a great time:)

I would like to come back here, again this summer.

Thank you for stopping by!:)
