The first day

High-speed jet boat

High-speed jet boat

Like regular ferry to other Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands, they also use Takeshiba Passenger Ferry Terminal. Not only is it swift, but it's also remarkably stable. Personally, I find it more comfortable than the hydrofoils used for travel between Hong Kong and Macau.

Most tourists who come to Toshima Island go to Mount Miyazuka for hiking or fishing to heal their tired souls from the the busy livestyle in city.
Toshima is situated south of Izu Oshima, and you can reach it by taking a jet boat from Oshima in about 30 minutes.
