Toshima, Volcanic island village in Tokyo Islands, Japan.

Located in the Izu Island chain, Toshima covers 4.12 square kilometers and contains dense forests over eighty percent of its surface.

The island became an official Japanese village on October 1, 1923, marking the beginning of its administrative status within Tokyo Prefecture.

The inhabitants of Toshima maintain their local traditions through fishing activities and the cultivation of camellia trees for oil production.

Travelers reach the island by taking a two-and-a-half-hour hydrofoil journey from Tokyo or a ten-minute helicopter flight from Oshima Island.

Toshima produces sixty percent of Japan's camellia oil, with 200,000 trees covering the island and creating red landscapes during the winter months.
