Lunch

Lunch

After taking a boat from Shikinejima to Shinjima, we indulged in a sumptuous lunch. Due to a tight schedule and to complete the shooting, we opted for a direct drive instead of bicycling on the new island.
Nishimamura Museum

Nishimamura Museum

Our first stop was the Nishimamura Museum. The white triangle we noticed on our way here in the car turned out to be the roof of this museum.

The museum delves into the culture and history of Niijima, which used to be a fishing port. Given that Hong Kong also has a history as a fishing port, it felt somewhat familiar. The museum also provides an introduction to the beach sand and features local products for sale

This open-air hot spring resembles a historic site, operating 24 hours a day and is free to access. If you visit at night, you can experience a hot spring bath under a canopy of stars. The facility offers various types of hot springs. For now, let’s start by soaking our feet in the foot bath.

I couldn't see clearly last night, so I went there one more time the next morning to see what the Yunohama open-air hot spring was like during the day. You can clearly see the foot bath and the place to soak the whole body. If you take a dip during the day, you can clearly see the sea view, which is very spectacular. However, be cautious of the sun and potential sunburn during daytime dips.

This officially concludes the trip to Tokyo’s outlying islands.
