Here’s another Tokyo short trip
Volcano and Fishing island "Izu Island / Miyakejima Island"Undefeatable even by the volcanic eruptions The blessings of nature and the people has been supporting the food and future of Miyakejima Island.
You can find buildings which were filled with volcanic ash or affected by the lava from the previous eruption, also giving an impacting image of nature's power. However, the island people always looked for their future, and they prospered in the fishery and agricultural industries. I felt that I would like to support not only Miyake but also the important players who support food in Tokyo.
