Niijima Village (Honson)

新島本村

Tokyo · Kanto

The island's main village and ferry-port hub, where boats from Tokyo dock and most visitors begin their stay. A small, walkable harbor town on Niijima's west coast with the village office, shops, guesthouses, and eateries -- a short walk or bike ride from the island's famous white koga-stone beaches and Yunohama's open-air hot spring.

Why it's hidden

Many travelers overlook Niijima Island in favor of more popular destinations in Tokyo.
