Although we won't have a fixed schedule, we will immediately go to the island, and have lunch there. Please bring your lunch.

In the afternoon we'll head over to Miura-kaigan, so please bring swimwear if you wish to go in the sea.

In the late afternoon let’s go to a cafe/bar nearby (optional).

We'll take a bus from Misakiguchi station at 10:23am, so please ensure you arrive before 10am. The bus fare seems to be ¥450 at the moment, so please prepare around ¥900 for a return fare.

➡️The island features a recommended course with signage that takes you around the island in about 90 minutes. From spectacular views of the ocean rushing into the island’s rock formations to countless species of birds, there is rarely a boring view during your stroll. Feel free to bring some snacks from Miura to enjoy the scenery at one of the many picnic spots along the route. Be careful of larger birds swooping in to steal your snack though!

Apart from its breathtaking nature, Jogashima Island is also home to quite a piece of international history. The Jogashima Lighthouse was built during the time of the Tokugawa Shogunate as part of a treaty with Great Britain but was actually designed by a French engineer. Although the original lighthouse was destroyed during the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, its replacement still safely guides ships into Tokyo Bay.

➡️Sightseeing spots at Jogashima and nearby, most of which we will hopefully visit:

Jogashima Lighthouse - The western-styled unmanned lighthouse is the fourth oldest in Japan. It was built in 1870 and completely destroyed during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. The reconstruction of the lighthouse took till 1925.

Jogashima park - The two observatories within the park offer great panoramic views and are definitely worth a visit.

Cape Nagatsuro - It is one of the best places in the whole Kanto area to enjoy a sunset and the views over the Pacific Ocean are magnificent.

Jogashima-ohashi Bridge - The box-girder bridge with a length of 575m and a height of 21m has connected Jogashima with Miura since 1959.

Umanose-Domon - The arch-shaped rock is one of the most known landmarks of the island. Before 1923 Umanose-Domon was nearly under water, but due to the great Kanto Earthquake the rock was lifted up by 8m.

After the event, you may submit a review/evaluation. Please kindly rate appropriately as a low evaluation has an impact on the group. Things you should clearly understand in advance:

1. I (Mark) am not a tour guide. For many events this will also be my first time, and events are mainly organised based on intensive internet research.
2. Nature cannot be guaranteed, so flower festivals may be impacted by the recent climate.
3. We aim to depart on time, however bus schedules might change. This is unavoidable.
4. We request participants arrive EARLY. In rare cases we might wait a few minutes if we do not need to take a bus.
5. The number of participants is not guaranteed. However we will not have large groups.
6. The event finish time might be earlier or later than advertised. The hiking time might be longer/shorter than anticipated. Return bus times are not guaranteed.
