Take a trip to Tokyo’s islands, full of unspoiled nature and local charm and easily accessible from the Kanto region by ship and plane.

To get to the Izu or Ogasawara islands from Tokyo, you either take a passenger ship from Takeshiba Pier or a plane. It is best to make a reservation by phone. Takeshiba Pier is a minute’s walk from Yurikamome Takeshiba Station. Receive your tickets and board at the Takeshiba Passenger Ship Terminal.
Planes depart from Chofu Airport. For details on ticket reservations and boarding procedures, visit the operator’s website.
