The island is a 10-minute ferry ride from Yokosuka’s Mikasa Pier. Sarushima is Tokyo Bay’s only uninhabited island, and you’re there before you know it. The clean ocean, thickly growing trees, and a wealth of leisure facilities including barbecue spots, make this a popular spot for swimmers in the summer months. On the other hand, Sarushima is an island with history. It was once a fortress that protected Tokyo Bay where it was forbidden for civilians to land on, and it still has remnants of that period such as the barracks and gun batteries on the island.
