Photos of Iojima Island

It takes only 19 minutes by boat from Nagasaki Port to reach the island of leisure and vacation - Io Island. Io Island must experience sea bathing and hot springs. The natural hot spring here is gushing out from more than 1,000 meters underground, and the open-air hot spring can look out to the coast and fully enjoy the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The island has complete accommodation facilities, restaurants, shopping malls, as well as beauty massage parlors and various activity facilities for women. The island is dotted with lighthouses, churches, calm waterfronts and other attractions, making it ideal for excursions. The Iojima Bridge opened in 2011, and it only takes 30 minutes to get there by car. The Iojima Lighthouse is the earliest Western-style lighthouse in Japan. In the 2nd year of Keio (1866), it was one of the eight lighthouses set up in the country according to the Edo Treaty. It was the first iron hexagonal Western-style lighthouse in Japan. After the atomic bomb, it was remodeled to its current shape, and the dome-shaped shape is the same as it was 130 years ago.
