Features of Mukojima Island

After leaving Takeshiba Port at 11:00 a.m. on the Ogasawara-maru, you can see a series of islands in the order of Kitanoshima, Mukojima, Nakodojima, and Yomejima Islands around 9:00 a.m. on the next day. Mukojima Island is inhabited by many sea birds. You can see brown boobies from the Ogasawara-maru. A 1 km long rocky area is located 1.5 km from the south of Mukojima Island, a scatter of long sharp peculiar rocks formed through erosion, such as the needle-like Harinoiwa. There are also many diving spots called shark cave or tuna cave in the sea around these islands.
