Kōzushima is a small, remote Izu island of clear water, white-sand coves, free open-air seaside onsen and some of the darkest night skies near Tokyo. It's reached by a 3–4 hour high-speed ferry or a short flight — not a day trip, so plan an overnight. Best from late spring through summer for swimming and stargazing.
