Stay ~2h
Shikinejima is a small island in the Izu group whose draw is a set of free open-air hot springs built into the rocks at the shoreline, Jinata and Ashitsuki among them. A separate indoor bathhouse charges ¥200. Reaching the island means a ferry from Shimoda or Ito, which makes it an overnight destination rather than a day trip.
