Ebisu Island is a small island at the tip of the Suzaki Peninsula in Shimoda, Shizuoka, reachable on foot via a bridge. Part of the Izu Peninsula UNESCO Global Geopark, it showcases dramatic striped rock strata formed by ancient volcanic ash deposits. Its exceptionally clear waters make it a popular snorkeling destination, and a coastal promenade circles the entire island for scenic walks.

Tips
- The island is about 20 minutes by bus or taxi from Izukyu-Shimoda Station; free parking is available at the entrance.
- Snorkeling season peaks from June to September — local operators offer guided tours and equipment rental.
