The first day

Upon arriving at "Takeshiba Station," please pay attention to the stop sign and head to "Takeshiba Passenger Ferry Terminal."

Riding “Sarubiamaru”

This is the "Sarubiamaru" we boarded.Sarubia Maru was not present at the ship's port initially. After reaching the terminal, the company's staff were notified that the passengers were on the dock and arrived at the boarding

The second day

Arrive at Oshima

Arrive at Izu Oshima!It was dawn when we got off the boat

Arrive at Okada Port

Our disembarkation location is "Okada Port"

Going to the hotel "Asakaikan"

We first went to the hotel "Asakaikan," where we were staying for the evening, to store our luggage. Afterwards, we drove to the "Oshima Circular Road" to look around.

Station in front of stratum section

The "Oshima Circumferential Road" is about 43 kilometers long. It goes around the periphery of Izu Oshima and you can see different scenery!
Our first stop was "in front of the formation fault"!

Continuing to walk along the "Oshima Circumferential Road", we came to "Hafu Port Observation Deck"

One of the "Top 100 Nagisa in Japan" attractions: Hashima Coast

After leaving the observation deck and continuing to walk, we came to "Fudejima".Hashima Coast is also one of the designated attractions in "Tokyo's Historic Places" and "Japan's Top 100 Nagisa".There are stairs nearby, and you can walk to the nearest seaside to view the coast of Pen Island from different angles.

Rabbit in the Rabbit Forest

Then I went to the park I was most looking forward to - Rabbit Forest (うさぎの Forest)!!! The look in their eyes were so sincere and pleading~~~ So!! Super!! Cute!!

The third day

Hometown Experience Center

Today, I'll take the boat back to Takeshiba at 2:00 pm, so this morning I'll visit only one place - Izu Oshima Toshikan. We've scheduled to participate in the tsubaki oil making experience at 10:00 am.

Architecture of camellia oil extraction experience center

There are several cabins here, some connected.This is the " camellia oil extraction experience center" we are about to enter.

Camellia seeds

The camellia flower will bear fruit after it matures, and there are seeds like this inside the fruit (it's quite a big one)

Camellia seeds are big

Crack the fruit with a stick

The experience begins! First, we put a bowl of Tsubaki fruit into the press (perhaps?) and then use a wooden stick to crush the fruit as much as possible.

Fruit crushing machine

If you can't finish crushing the fruit, you can use the power of machinery!!!

The camellia oil I made is finished

The instructor poured the camellia oil into a small bottle and reminded us to let the water evaporate when we get home. The small bottle is perfect for souvenirs XD. However, the water in this bottle has not evaporated yet, so the oil appears yellow.

On the boat returning from Oshima

Back to Okada Port, ready to board the ship!!We still continue to take photos on the boat, and pass the time sleeping
BYEBYE Izu Oshima
