Tour de Nippon
Niijima Village, Tokyo
Just 160 km south of Tokyo in the middle of the Pacific are the neighboring islands of Niijima and Shikinejima. Though part of the Izu chain, they feel worlds away—reached in just 2.5 hours by ferry or 40 minutes by plane. Their landscapes, so unlike Tokyo’s, stir a deep sense of escape. Each island has its own character, inviting visitors to island-hop between them. This is a journey into vivid, unseen hues—shaped over time by nature and the lives of those who call these islands home.
