Sarushima is a volcanic island formed about 120,000 years ago, and is surrounded by rich nature, where you can enjoy hiking and historical exploration. Sarushima was once used as a military base from the end of the Edo period to World War II. As a result, the remains of French-style brick forts and artillery batteries remain to this day, making it an attractive place for history-loving tourists. In particular, the remains of the forts have been used as a filming location for movies, and they have an atmosphere that makes visitors feel like they have traveled back in time. Sarushima is also rich in nature, and you can enjoy seasonal plants and bird watching.

Yokosuka, located on the Miura Peninsula, is famous for its exotic streetscapes. From the moment you step out of the station, you can feel the unique atmosphere of American culture, with English signs everywhere (for renting houses, selling cars), just like an American village. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Recommended attractions: Mikasa Park (one of Japan's top 100 urban parks) Sarushima (the largest uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay) Dobu Itadori Shopping Street (exotic cultural fusion) ICHIGO (a food supermarket converted from a giant freezer warehouse) ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Buy an embroidered jacket here, taste navy curry and American hamburgers, and take a look at Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay. This is a must-see itinerary.

Historical Background The history of Sarushima dates back to the Edo period, when it was used as part of a defense facility. Many military relics, such as artillery batteries, ammunition depots, and tunnels, are still preserved on the island. These relics were built during the Meiji period in Japan to prevent foreign invasions, reflecting the historical style of that era. During World War II, Sarushima was also an important military stronghold, and it was not until after the war that it gradually transformed into a tourist attraction. Natural Landscape Sarushima not only has rich historical relics, but also charming natural landscapes. The island is densely covered with vegetation, and the natural scenery with distinct seasons attracts many tourists who love nature. In spring, the island is full of cherry blossoms, which is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms; summer is the best season for hiking and picnics, and tourists can take a leisurely stroll on the island and enjoy the sea breeze. The red leaves in autumn and the clear sky in winter also have their own charms, giving Sarushima its unique style all year round. Transportation and Tourism Experience Sarushima can be reached by a short ferry ride from the center of Yokosuka. The ferry journey only takes about 10 minutes, which is very convenient. After arriving on the island, visitors can freely explore the various attractions on the island or relax on the beach. In addition, Sarushima also provides some entertainment activities, such as fishing and barbecue, which are suitable for the whole family to participate. It is worth noting that since there are no restaurants on the island, it is recommended that visitors bring their own food and drinks. #Register for September Hotel Test Sleeper

#thingstodo I took the first ferry in the morning (9:30am) for a short 10 minute ride to Sarushima. Beware, there are no monkeys on the island! But, other than that it was a nice experience. The entire island is easily walkable in less than an hour. There are several spots to visit of some historical significance but nothing overly spectacular. It was a nice activity if you’re in the area and have some free time but probably not worth making a special trip. There’s a guided tour available for an extra fee. The restrooms were clean but only available at the visitor center.

The island is picturesque so don't be surprised to see wedding or cosplay shoots going on. I personally saw a three or four shoots and the cosplayers were nice enough to let me take some photos as well. On a clear day, you might even be lucky enough to see Mount Fuji above the Yokosuka skyline. Take your time around the island and take in the silence from the bustling Japanese cities. Also, time your visit so that you can minimize waiting for the boat back as well. In 2024, I want to visit this place again.

This uninhabited island is just a short ferry ride away from Yokosuka's Mikasa Terminal. In the summer, swimming and other sea leisure activities are popular.
