Your Life Will Change! What's So Fascinating About a Desert Island Survival?
1. Since there's nothing, we need to rack our brains.
In today's society, problems are often solved with a quick "Google search" or by "clicking to buy." In our overly convenient modern civilization, many people likely don't even know about the "innate human desires" that have been lost. On a deserted island with nothing, "junk" that would never be used in everyday life becomes "treasure," and with that treasure, one uses their wisdom and ingenuity to create a wonderful environment.
2. Because we reveal our true selves, our "bonds" deepen.
Because it's a different environment than usual, "usual common sense" doesn't apply. That's why you end up revealing yourself unconsciously. To "live" in a vacuum, you don't have time to hide your true self. By revealing your true selves to each other and tackling unprecedented challenges together, a trusting relationship naturally forms, and you come to love your companions.
3. Experiencing "living" through the process of receiving life.
Many people probably say "Itadakimasu" without even thinking about its meaning, right? This time, by spearing a fish swimming before their eyes, butchering it, and eating it, we will have them confront the preciousness of "receiving life," which has become commonplace.
Features of a Desert Island Survival Camp
Even when we say "deserted island," there are various characteristics depending on the survival level and objective.
For example, islands with well-equipped campgrounds and accommodations are recommended for taking a break away from the city. On the other hand, some islands have very few places to pitch a tent and lack essential utilities like electricity and running water. Choose your plan based on your own goals and preferences, such as wanting to "experience the ultimate survival lifestyle by procuring everything you need from scratch" or "enjoy a leisurely time"!
There are islands where you can survive in Japan too!
Vast natural landscapes, untouched environments, and the challenge of surviving by your own strength. It's an experience as if you've dived into the world of a movie or adventure novel. Did you know you can have such an extraordinary experience in Japan too? This article introduces 5 deserted island plans carefully selected by TRAPOL, a professional in deserted island survival.
5 Uninhabited Islands Perfect for Ultimate Survival
Yagaji Island (Okinawa)
First, we introduce Yanaha Island (Yanahajima), the largest uninhabited island in Okinawa Prefecture. It's a flat island with a circumference of only 5.3 km. Beautiful white sandy beaches stretch out, and you can experience an extraordinary feeling from the moment you arrive on the island.
On that very island, Okinawa Honto, it seems an ultimate uninhabited island survival game is being held. Within a 48-hour time limit, you must build a raft for escape and reach a inhabited island 2km away. What would you do?
Over half of past participants came alone. The majority of participants are in their 20s and 30s. Historically, the ratio of men to women has been 4:6.
People of various professions and ages gather around a single fire to converse. You can spend such a special time.
It will be held in May, July, and September of 2025, so if you're interested, please check out the details!

Chino-jima (Wakayama)
Next, we'll introduce Jinoshima Island in Wakayama Prefecture. It's characterized by the prefecture's "Number 1" beautiful turquoise blue sea and pure white sandy beaches, attracting many swimmers of all ages in the summer.
Access is about an hour and a half from Kansai International Airport and Osaka City. This is an uninhabited island recommended for beginners, where you can also enjoy day-trip camping.
You can easily enjoy the outdoors with options like BBQs, camping, holding events, or even renting out the entire island.

Okinoshima (Wakayama)
Alongside Chino-jima Island, Okinoshima Island is also popular. It has become increasingly popular in recent years as visitors can experience the atmosphere of Studio Ghibli's film "Castle in the Sky."
Actually, Wakayama has an island group called "Tomogashima Islands," which consists of four islands: Torajima, Kamishima, and Okinojima, including the island mentioned above.
On Okinoshima, you can enjoy not only nostalgic scenery but also outdoor activities such as camping and fishing. Access is about an hour and a half by car from Osaka city. While it's perfect for a day trip, there are also many unpaved roads, making it recommended for those who want a "proper survival experience!"

Otsuchi Island (Okayama)
Ōtsuchi Island is an uninhabited island located off the coast of Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, on its northern side.
Actually, the prefectural border runs through the center of the island, making it a rare island located in Okayama Prefecture to the north and Kagawa Prefecture to the south.
It is visible as a beautiful triangle from all directions—north, east, south, and west—and is affectionately known by nicknames such as "Triangle Island" and "Onigiri Island."
The beautiful sunset setting over the Seto Ohashi Bridge is also captivating. It's perfect for those who want to enjoy their own deserted island experience!

Tsumagajima (Nagasaki)
Tsumagajima is an uninhabited island in Nagasaki Prefecture, which holds the largest number of islands in Japan.
Tsumagishima, once inhabited by people, can be enjoyed for its nostalgic atmosphere, where remnants of human habitation such as concrete roads, wells, and rice paddy fields can be felt, even though it is an uninhabited island.
The waters around Tsumagajima are where the Tsushima Current and the Japan Current collide, making it an excellent fishing ground where many fish migrate in search of abundant plankton. For this reason, it is also famous as a sacred place for fishing.
You can experience a full-fledged deserted island survival in an environment without electricity or running water.
