We went to Oshima Island for the 4th of July weekend (Ric surprised Danny and me with the trip!). We stayed at an old hotel near the volcano (a live volcano) with a lovely onsen. We hiked up to the top of the volcano. At the top it was quite foggy/misty and visibility was poor -- that really added to the sense of adventure! But, unfortunately, we couldn't really see into the crater....
Here we're getting ready to get onto the ferry that took us over to the island (getting to Oshima from Yokosuka involved close to 3 hours travel time - about 2 hours on trains and another 45 minutes on the ferry). 
We also went to the beach! Ric and Danny went snorkeling (can you see them in the top photo?). It was a little too cold for me....
Breakfast at the hotel was quite good. So was dinner - but it was a little intimidating for Danny (too much raw fish)! But, he valiantly ate it. Ric, of course, loved every morsel and ate anything Danny and I couldn't (or wouldn't) finish.
The hotel was a traditional Japanese hotel. While we were at dinner, the staff set out our futons. We all slept very well.
