💡 Tips for Visitors

The island is best reached by bus from Misakiguchi Station; consider renting a bicycle to explore the area more freely. Most facilities including the lighthouse museum and local restaurants accept cash only, so bring yen. Visit during spring or autumn for the most pleasant weather and clearest views of Mount Fuji, and arrive early morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the peaceful coastal atmosphere.
