Spot 2 - Yokosuka City’s Uninhabited Island “Monkey Island”
Many Taiwanese travelers to Japan are fans of Studio Ghibli animations. Just a 30-minute boat ride from Yokosuka Port in Kanagawa Prefecture will take you to the uninhabited island “Monkey Island.” Among Japanese Ghibli fans, Monkey Island is known as the hidden location resembling the ruins seen in “Castle in the Sky.” From the Edo period until the Pacific War, Monkey Island served as a military fortress and retains many military relics.

BBQ equipment rental is also available—perfect for couples who want a “relaxed and cozy proposal route,” grilling BBQ together outdoors on an uninhabited island. A highly recommended way to pop the question.
