I plan to head to Oshima for a mini training camp this weekend. Oshima is perfect for cycling and could be called Japan's Mallorca. Almost no traffic, beautiful ocean views and the active vulcano makes for a 600m climb.
Transportation:
Overnight Ferry from Takeshiba pier Tokyo, leaving fri 23:00 and arriving in Oshima by 5am (cost ~4000yen)
Return 7/7(Sun) 13:20-17:00
*rinkobag necessary
Reservation is handled by Tokaikisen
Optional jet ferry that takes just 90mins is also available for twice the price. It leaves by 4pm on Sunday and gives you three more hours of riding time.
I know a perfect spot for wild camping on the island right by the ocean with showers and toilets nearby, but there is also an official campsite and numerous pensions.
While there are no conbinis, there are some supermarkets and great options for eating fresh fish.
All in all a great trip for little money. I've got reservations for the boat and will be going of the weather forecast looks good enough on Friday. I welcome anybody interested in joining.
