Izu Oshima is reached from mainland Japan by Tokai Kisen vessel or a New Central Airservice domestic plane. Tokyo Takeshiba Pier has high-speed jetfoil and overnight large-passenger-ship options; Atami also operates a shorter jetfoil route on listed dates. High-speed Tokyo trips may take around 1 hour 45 minutes on the actual published timetable, whereas the large passenger vessel is an overnight journey around 7 to 8 hours. These are examples, not fixed schedules: seasons and departures change. Island boats normally land at Motomachi Port or Okata Port, with the assigned port determined by sea conditions. Fly between Chofu Airfield and Oshima Camellia Airport by scheduled local aircraft when operating. Current vessel timetable; same-day island status; flight schedule.
Motomachi and Okata are the two practical northern bases. Oshima Bus serves several fixed routes, and the tourism association lists rental cars, bicycles, motorbikes and local taxis, but service may be infrequent outside port connections.
