The luxury of spending time in the great outdoors on an island just a short distance from Tokyo
About 180km south of Tokyo, across the sea, you'll enter a different world.
Kozushima is one of the Izu Islands, a remote island off the coast of Tokyo. It takes just 45 minutes by plane from Tokyo to get there, and it's hard to believe it's in the same Tokyo area. The island is rich in nature and has a unique historical and cultural background, and is packed with fascinating spots.
Please also refer to this article for information on how to access Kozushima.
Kozushima is an island that lives with abundant nature and has been certified as a Dark Sky Place. The shining stars and moon, the crystal clear sea, the deep red sunset over the sea, the blessings of the mountains and spring water...
Experience the daily changes firsthand and enjoy the luxury of spending a relaxing time on an island in Tokyo where people still live in harmony with nature.
The concept is "a Socializing Stay"
We believe that one night is not enough to fully experience the rich nature of Kozushima and refresh your mind and body. We don't want you to get tired after a 12-hour boat ride by rushing around tourist spots. We want you to enjoy hiking and stargazing at the best times possible, in tune with the workings of nature. We want you to enjoy your entire time on Kozushima , including your stay at FamiliA . And above all, we want our guests to have plenty of time to chat with us...! This concept was born from such strong feelings.
"I could see Mt. Fuji from the top of Mt. Tenjo!" "Today's sunset was so beautiful," "It was my first time seeing the Milky Way!!" Sharing their excitement sparks lively conversation, and before you know it, everyone who has gathered there has become friends. In this way, not only do our guests have a fun time together, but we, the staff, would also love to chat with you, so please feel free to stop by the cafe.
*An example of cafe/breakfast menu. Contents may vary depending on the season.
All plans at FamiliA include breakfast. Homemade bread and freshly brewed coffee are served at the cafe bar on the first floor. "Where should we go today?" "How was yesterday's hike?" Guests have fun sharing their thoughts with each other, and we also check the weather forecast and advise on the best times to see the sunset and starry sky.
While the spacious cafe bar on the first floor is the center of the shared space, all rooms on the second floor are private, so families and individuals alike can rest easy. While eating breakfast, with a cup of coffee, or sipping a glass of wine before going to sleep, you can relax and chat as you like, whenever you like... We place great importance on providing a comfortable space that you won't find in a big resort hotels.
Go on a space trip with FamiliA Planet!

If it gets cold, why not have some hot cocoa at the cafe? Gazing up at the night sky while chatting and feeling the cold is sure to be a memorable experience!
