Izu Seven Islands

The Izu Seven Islands (Izu Shichito) form the northern, most-visited stretch of the volcanic Izu chain reaching south from Tokyo Bay. Each island has its own character underwater — from Kozushima’s clarity to Mikurajima’s dolphins. The map below shows how they lie.

We used to call Izu Seven Islands, which include seven islands in the northern part of Izu Islands: Oshima, Toshima, Niijima, Kozushima, Miyakejima, Mikurajima, and Hachijojima, and it was used with Izu Islands interchangeably.

Now, they are called "Tokyo Islands," which includes all inhabited islands of the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. They all belong to the Tokyo Metropolitan government.

They are： Izu Seven Islands, Shikinejima, Aogashima of the Izu Islands, Chichijima, and Hahajima of Ogasawara Islands.
