Sarushima — Local services in Yokosuka

This island is great for beach, adventure and history walking tour!! You can enjoy with many way!!! There are great beach for summer! Basically no one lives in here but there are a foods shop, souvenirs shop and bathroom and shower rooms. So all equipped in this island for beach. Not only for swimming but they rent bbq equipment!! So you can come without the necessities for bbq!! But must bring meats and drinks!! Alcohol is ok to drink on this beach! But after you drink any beer you can’t get in the sea water! Looks very busy and packed with people in summer. Not only summer but other seasons you can come and enjoy an adventure! This island was originally a fort until ww2 so there are many wreckages in this island. And important place during the war. You can learn some history in here! Of course you can find great nature too! So it’s nice and wonderful place for everyone!! Come...

They are true snipers of the sky and will dive to snatch food right of your hands. We were lucky and didn't get hurt but I can easily see how it could happen.

The ride + access to the island costs...
