Dogashima Island is described as Matsushima in Izu for its beauty. The best spot to see is the national natural treasure, Tensodo Cave. If you really want to enjoy it, hop on the boat that leaves every 15-20 minutes.

Weaving through the sawtooth coastline of islands, you will soon reach the entrance to Tensodo Cave. As the boat runs inside the cave, you will reach a spot with a more than 10m-wide opening like a skylight.

The light from the opening reflects on the seawater, and the light columns wave on the rock walls like magic! The water is deep blue, reminding visitors of the famous Blue Grotto in Italy. The boat stops there for a while. Don’t forget to take some shots of this wondrous space.

It is only a 20-minute excursion, but you will be 100% satisfied after seeing the mysterious scene fashioned by the light, the sea and the cave. Depending on the season, hour and weather, each trip give you a different look and sensation. In case of bad weather, the boat may be canceled. Check at the website or by phone before you go.

    船要開進去真是考驗技術,因為航道很狹窄,進入後看到天窗洞,鬼斧神工真的是上天賜予的禮物。
