The first day

Kozushima

Kozushima

Even if you haven't heard of Kozushima, you should have heard of Izu.
Kozushima is located in the center of the Izu Seven Islands. It takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes to get there from Tokyo by high-speed ferry.

High-speed ferry

The boat we took was still a high-speed ferry, and it was flying over the sea the whole time!
This boat is really mysterious!!!!!!!!!!!! It's completely high-tech!!!!!!!!
Because it's flying over the sea the whole time, the boat doesn't sway at all. Has anyone ever taken a boat that doesn't sway at all?!!!!!!!! It's like a flying ship!!!!!!
How many people have had this experience, XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Anyway, I've had it, hahaha.
You can't see a single piece of waste paper or bottle.

As soon as I got off the boat, I felt that this island is really super simple!! The air is super good!!!
With only about 2,000 residents, it's quite rare to encounter cars or people on the road. XD It feels like you instantly become the owner of the island.
Also, because of the sparse population, the beach is completely deserted!!!!! You can even run naked if you want.
Cycling around the island

Cycling around the island

Actually, there is a sightseeing bus on the island, which is a small bus that can seat about 10 people. You don't need to exert yourself too much; our guide chose the healthiest way to explore, which was cycling around the island. Cycling around the island?!!!!!!!! After countless uphills and downhills, I've already had an epiphany.
Anyway, if you really come here for an expedition, remember, take the bus!!!!!!!
Akasaki Walking Trail

Akasaki Walking Trail

Around 1:30 seconds into the video, is the last stop for cycling, which is a very famous spot. Many Japanese and local professional players also go there to float and jump into the sea (yes, jump into the sea).
Rich in seafood

Rich in seafood

An island is rich in seafood after all. It is said that you can enjoy the seafood of Kandzu Island no matter where you stay on the island. Our dinner was also quite a lot of seafood, and sitting indoors without moving was like heaven. Finally, there was a bit of a relaxed feeling.

The second day

The color of the sea

The color of the sea

The color of the sea is a kind of blue-green.
It's very much like the color of X mouthwash, it's really amazing!!!!!! (I know what I'm saying isn't very romantic, but it really looks like it, XDD)
There's a feeling of relief.

There's a feeling of relief.

Listening to the sound of the waves without any disturbance, free from the smell of car exhaust, the air feels clean, and finally, there's a sense of true relief, hahaha.

When we were eating Chinese food, we chose a small stall by the sea (actually, there was only one). Originally, we didn't have high expectations for an outlying island, but it turned out to be really delicious!!!!!!!!!!!
Kozu BOY

Kozu BOY

Halfway through the meal, you can also enjoy the local islanders, known as Kozu BOY, walking around super casually in their swim trunks XDDDD (they are wearing swim trunks).
There are also small hammocks.
