Volcanic Deserts of Mt. Mihara

Oshima is the closest of Izu-islands which is some 120 km away from Tokyo. There can be reached by a hydrofoil jet ferry in less than two hours. Knowing Japan’s geological makeup, no one will be surprised to hear that the seven Izu Islands are nothing but the tips of as many volcanoes, they are in fact part of the so-called Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc which starts up North with Mt. Fuji at a triple tectonic junction and extends as far as to the Mariana Through, the world’s deepest marine basin. The view of the caldera and the crater is very good. It is a strange and unusual landscape. Small gas vents along the crater rim remind you of the fact that you are indeed standing on top of an active volcano.
