Ebisu Island is a small island you can reach by crossing a bridge. 🏝️
You can walk around the island in about 15 to 20 minutes.
Along the promenade, you can enjoy the remnants of ancient submarine volcanoes up close, such as the striped patterns formed by the accumulation of pumice and volcanic ash, and the strata of debris flows that occurred underwater. 👀🌋
During low tide, a wide rocky area called "Senjojiki" appears, and you can also see the Izu Islands and Mikomoto Island from the south side of the island. ✨
The ocean's transparency is also outstanding. 👌💙
📍 Ebisu Island (Susaki, Shimoda City)
Parking: Available (a few spots, paid during summer)
Access: Bus 🚌 From Shimoda Station, take the bus bound for Susaki Coast (Line 10) to "Susaki Kaigan" stop, then walk about 7 minutes.
