Île du Japonais, Artificial island in Cabo Frio, Brazil
This artificial landform features a small beach and a kiosk, connected to the Passagem neighborhood by a shallow water channel crossing point.
The island received its name from a Japanese resident who established a presence on this artificial landform during its early development period.
The island kiosk serves grilled fish and traditional Brazilian drinks, becoming a social gathering point for residents and visitors during summer months.
Access to the island requires either a boat ride or swimming across the canal, with water currents requiring attention during crossing attempts.
The island includes seating arrangements placed directly in the water near the kiosk, creating an unusual dining experience for visitors.
