Mikurajima, Village in Miyake Subprefecture, Japan

Located 200 kilometers south of Tokyo, Mikurajima encompasses a volcanic island with dense forests, coastal cliffs, and a mountain reaching 851 meters.

The island became an official village on October 1, 1923, when new administrative divisions were established across the Izu islands region.

The population of 323 residents maintains community traditions through the local elementary school, fishing activities, and sustainable forest management practices.

Visitors can reach the island via night passenger ships from Takeshiba Pier in Tokyo, with journeys lasting approximately seven and a half hours.

Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins inhabit the surrounding waters from April to November, making Mikurajima a primary location for marine observation.
