Located just a 10-minute ferry ride from Mikasa Pier, Sarushima is a storied uninhabited island celebrated for its blend of coastal beauty and historical intrigue. Visitors can wander through atmospheric brick-lined tunnels and overgrown artillery ruins dating from the Tokugawa Shogunate through World War II. Along with its rich military past, the island offers pleasant beaches, prime fishing spots, and clear waters ideal for a scenic day trip. Despite its nickname, you will not find monkeys here, but rather a peaceful escape steeped in legend and lush greenery.
