Found in the Izu archipelago in the Philippine Sea, about 180km southeast of Honshu, Miyakejima is an inhabited volcanic island belonging to Japan. The primary ferry route from Miyakejima is to the Takeshiba pier in Tokyo, connecting Miyakejima to mainland Japan. Hidden under a cloud of harmful sulphur dioxide gas and within reach of active volcanoes - Miyakejima doesn’t exactly sound like the ideal spot for a relaxing holiday. However, many tourists head to the town each year to experience the unique living conditions that engulf the lives of those who live there. Before arrival, visitors are advised to undergo a medical exam; there are even rumours that permanent residents have to constantly wear gas masks, but that is just a myth. Once in the town and accustomed to the unusual lifestyle, it is very possible to have a pleasant time in Miyakejima. The active volcano of Mt. Oyama is an obvious draw, but there is surprisingly a lot of natural beauty around the area: the scuba diving next to the coral reefs is a wonderful experience, and whilst there it is worthwhile taking in some dolphin sightings. For activities off the beaten track, head to the abandoned houses tour or witness the buildings destroyed by lava. There certainly aren’t many places left in the world as interesting and fascinating as Miyakejima. Due to the unusual circumstances synonymous with the town, the transport is fairly limited. Taxis are readily available and are reasonably priced for connections to the port.
Abstract street design, towering skyscrapers and endless food outlets – Tokyo wholeheartedly lives up to its increasingly appealing reputation. Decorated in such outlandish and striking architecture, Japan’s capital city lends itself to a reputation of inauthentic, modern technology that belies its naturally verdant aesthetics. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a mecca of natural bliss, adorned in endless stretches of greenery, wholesome forestry and beautiful foliage that will tempt you into indulging in a challenging walk across the terrain. The abundance of natural beauty is refreshing amidst the sea of gargantuan buildings, but the unique and innovative designs that encompass the city steal the limelight. The contrasts of the districts create a constantly fascinating spectacle; futuristic imagery is projected alongside traditional Japanese entertainment such as sumo wrestling. Head to Shogun’s City to really embrace the paradoxical bonanza - the region in itself is worth the trip to Japan alone - though it would be unforgivable to miss out on the city’s more prominent landmarks; the giant malls, sci-fi streets and Tokyo Sky Tree, the world’s tallest tower, are particular highlights.
A city as impressive built as Tokyo is bound to have a plethora of transport options, so just pick whatever one is easiest for you. Subway, trains, rental cars, bicycle and taxis are all readily available, making it one of the best cities to manoeuvre around.
