Our next virtual tour will take you to the Oshima and Kozushima islands, two of the 11 Tokyo Islands located south of the city. Discover another side of Tokyo, a major contrast to the urban image of one of the world’s largest metropolises. The Tokyo Islands are just a few hours from the city, and after watching the tour you may want to add a quick detour to your next trip to Japan.

Enjoy the island life in an outdoor experience filled with food, culture, and music. Island locals will show us a few of the top island foods and activities, and even teach us how to dance along the way! Be sure to stay until the end for a special Taiko drum performance from the beach of Kozushima Island.
A few lucky members of our live audience have a chance to win a few prizes made up of local island gift packages filled with handmade sandals, beauty products, snacks, and more. Watch the tour and complete our survey to be eligible.
