Ishijirogawa beach has clear water, perfect for snorkeling in the summer. The rocky formations along the shore also make for beautiful photo opportunities by the sea.

There's a small orange wooden hut on the beach, it's so cute!

Jinata Hotspring is a natural outdoor hot spring located by the sea below a cliff.It's a mixed-gender bath, so you need to wear swimwear when soaking in the hot spring.

With a source temperature of 80 degrees Celsius, it's also known as "Naikano-yu." It's said to be effective for ailments such as neuralgia, sensitivity to cold, joint pain, and gynecological issues.

Upon entering the dining room, the host told us that we were in luck as the neighboring guests had gone fishing, so they prepared extra dishes for us!The host skillfully crafted sashimi using a wooden stick, accompanied by ginger and spring onions on the side. It looked somewhat like the tuna and spring onion dish we usually have, but there was a noticeable difference in taste. The meat was more tender, and because it was freshly caught, it was truly fresh!The side dishes complemented the rice perfectly; we were truly blessed with such delectable food!

Upon reaching the Kanbiki Observation Deck, you can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Fuji and the entire island. Visitors can even bring some food and sit down to enjoy lunch while gazing at the endless sea views. The gentle sea breeze helps keep the temperature comfortable, adding to the pleasant experience.

This trip has been very different from previous ones, where my visits to Japan were limited to shopping and eating sushi in Tokyo. Next time, I won't just stay in Tokyo. Instead, I might spend a night on a nearby island to get closer to nature.
