Last updated 2026-09-26 — Dōjima, a famous attraction in Nishi-Izu, is well known for its local hot springs and the natural landscape of the sea cave "Tensodo." The Tensodo, formed by the erosion of ocean waves, shines under the bright sunlight on the water's surface, creating a mysterious and stunning view. After visiting Tensodo, many tourists also specifically come to "wait" for the sunset that falls within the small island to capture the most beautiful "magic hour."

Dōjima, a famous attraction in Nishi-Izu, is well known for its local hot springs and the natural landscape of the sea cave "Tensodo." The Tensodo, formed by the erosion of ocean waves, shines under the bright sunlight on the water's surface, creating a mysterious and stunning view. After visiting Tensodo, many tourists also specifically come to "wait" for the sunset that falls within the small island to capture the most beautiful "magic hour."%亥嚎锤?嗵玫耗Щ柠檬笨堂勒榨磨募/a>

The Tensodo of Dōjima is a nationally designated Natural Monument in Japan. Over time, the constant pounding of ocean waves has eroded a tunnel through the rock and created an opening at the top resembling a "skylight," which is how Tensodo got its name. Visitors who want to see it up close can take a ferry from the shore, and within a 20-minute ride, they can feast their eyes on this wonder.

▲ The handsome captain on the cruise ship has unexpectedly become a popular attraction.

▲ The beautiful sight created by sunlight shining down into Tensodo leaves many people in awe.

Once inside Tensodo, if you look up, the sunlight streaming through the "skylight" casts a brilliant beam of light that, combined with the clear water, creates an emerald hue, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. But those hoping to witness this spectacle should call ahead first, as the sea conditions around Dōjima are unstable — service is suspended during rough waves. Summer noontime is officially considered the most beautiful time to visit!

After exploring Tensodo, why not take a rest on the shore and wait for the equally famous "Dōjima sunset." Because there are many protruding rocks in the sea, you can see the sun setting right in the middle of the small island. This rare "magic hour" often attracts many people who specifically come to the shore to watch.%亥嚎锤?嗵玫耗Щ柠檬笨堂勒榨磨募/a>
