A Nature Rich Island: Visiting Kozushima Island Via Google Street View
Kozushima, Tokyo, is part of the Izu islands. With fishing, diving, hiking and even places for barbecues, this charming place is a great place to get away and refresh yourself.
Promenades Where You Can Enjoy the Seascape!
There are many beautiful promenades from which you can enjoy great views of the sea on Kozushima Island.
A Promenade Through a Pine Grove
The Matsuyama Promendade is set along the cape, and the view of the coastline from its observation deck is just one of its highlights. Its position makes it easy to hike from the harbor all the while being healed by the aroma of the trees around you.
See the Senryo Pond and Kozushima Lighthouse
As walk along the path on this striking cliff at the southwestern end of the island, you will notice a small cove known as Senryo Pond just below you. Overall this is a fairly gentle course, where you can stop freely to take in the views around you. However, if you would like to take a closer look at Senryo Pond, avoid climbing down the steep cliff face and be extremely careful of where you step.
You can see the Kozushima lighthouse in the background on the left. Although the sea wind here can be quite harsh against your skin, there is also a strangely mystical atmosphere to the air, which somehow makes this a wonderful place to relax as well.
A Swimming Spot Made Along the Rocks
The Akasaki Promenade is said by many to be the main sightseeing spot on Kozushima. The striking cliffside, with its numerous rocks projecting out into the ocean, the expansive seas, and the sun shining down here make for an unbelievable landscape. There is also a diving board on the promenade where you can jump down into the sea three meters below. Please visit this island to enjoy these and other views you won't find anywhere else.
In Conclusion
What do you think? Kozushima is full of splendid natural sights, and is a great place to visit if you want to go camping, fishing, diving, hiking or to photograph beautiful natural landscapes. Why not visit Kozushima on your next vacation and enjoy what nature has to offer?
