The island is also reknowned throughout Japan as one of the best star gazing locations, with many travelling to the island just to take in the incredible nighttime starscape displays the clear island air offers. The island is recognized as the first island in Tokyo to be designated an International Dark Sky Park (Dark Sky Island). This designation, by the International Dark-Sky Association in December 2020, acknowledges Kozushima's efforts in preserving its dark skies and nocturnal environment, making it a natural planetarium at night.

At Nagumi bay, on the northern end of the island, there are a series of super fun wooden boardwalks and diving platforms that are always very popular (see the pics from our past trips and on this page). This is also one of the clearest snorkeling and diving areas with 15m deep dives possible right off the beach.

Our campsite is centrally located, right in front of the beach. The campsite has great facilities and its is easily walkable to the nearby hot springs and central part of the island village. There is also a regular bus that runs around the island stopping at our campsite.

We will be cooking up gourmet BBQs each night of the trip (vegetarians options available) and will follow this up with a campfire to relax into the night.

Looking forward to our island adventure!
