Kozushima is a volcanic island that belongs to the Izu Islands, located 188 km away from Tokyo city. On this 3-day trip we'll hike around Mt Tenjo, one of the main attractions in the island.
Mt Tenjo is one of Japan's top hundred famous peaks. It's also a great view point of Mt Fuji, whose perfect conical shape can be seen in fine days.
Around the summit of Mt Tenjo there's a white sandy desert and a pond. Besides, beautiful flower blossoms and alpine plants will be part of the landscape.
After hiking, we'll enjoy Onsen and local seafood cuisine.
By boat: I propose to meet at Takeshiba Pier, Hamamatsu-cho (Tokyo) and take a boat. We'll depart by night and get to the island after 12 hours.
By plane: However, if you're not comfortable with the boat ride, you can to take an air flight and meet us at the airport in Kozushima.
Would you like to join for a 3-day island adventure in Kozushima? Please, check the next departure date and join a group!
I offer many hiking trips in different Japanese areas. If you're looking for other options, you can check this 3-day hike in Kurobe Valley and Shimo-no-Rouka.

Mountain Guide
I was born in 1971 in Tokyo. My parents used to bring me to the mountains in my childhood, and when I was big enough for a high school, I started to go to the mountains myself and continued since then.
I have been guiding in the Japanese mountains full time since 2005, and I guide all year around. I love to share my time and take my clients up to summits of classic mountains to less known beautiful mountains, as long as it is in Japan!
Personally, I'm a keen rock climber, sawanobori practitioner (climbing up streams and waterfalls), and particularly passionate about mountains on islands. I actually love the nature in general, and love the sea as much as I love the mountains.
I am a fully certified guide with JMGA (Japan Mountain Guide Association) Hiking Level 2 qualification, as well as am a Nagano Prefecture's Official Mountain Guide - meaning that I know my the history, fauna and flora of local mountains very well.
I am not fluent in English but I communicate with some English mixed with body language!
Contact me and join me on the trips I recommend in Japan!!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
