[About Sarushima Island]

Sarushima ("Monkey Island") is the only natural island in Tokyo Bay and is a wonderful place for a day trip, particularly during the summer. It is located less than 2 km off the coast of Yokosuka.

The main points of the island are full of historical and cultural significance and beach area. Due to its position in Tokyo Bay, Sarushima has long been regarded as a strategic point of defense for the Japanese mainland. The island contains the ruins of militaristic fortifications from as far back as the Tokugawa shogunate (which lasted until the mid-1800's). Brick-lined tunnels and walls of fortresses still remain from generations past, though they are now overgrown with plants for a very neat atmosphere of walking through important places of times gone by.

Some simple pathways snake throughout the island, taking you from the beach area through the militaristic ruins, and then to the outer banks of the island. The walking contains some very, very mild trekking, suitable for children, and takes only about an hour to explore the whole island. Wooden walkways spread through the forest, leading to the far ends of the island which contain some beautiful cliffs and bluffs and scenic outlooks over the ocean. Sarushima is also a popular spot for fishing, and fishermen will often be found casting their lines into the ocean at their lucky points on different corners of the island.
