context_page_description: Nii-jima is a volcanic Japanese island administered by Tokyo Metropolitan Government. It is one of the Izu Seven Islands group of the seven northern islands of the Izu archipelago, and is located approximately 163 kilometres south of Tōkyō and 36 kilometres south of Shimoda Shizuoka Prefecture. The island is the larger inhabited component of the village of Niijima Village, Ōshima Subprefecture of Tokyo Metropolis, which also contains the larger, neighboring island of Shikine-jima and the smaller, uninhabited Jinai-tō. Nii-jima is also within the boundaries of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
  On the southern tip of Nii-jima, there was formerly a launch site for experimental and sounding rockets.
context_section_description: Nii-jima is 2 hours and 20 minutes away by jet boat from Takeshiba Sanbashi Pier, in Tokyo, operated by Tōkai Kisen.  Tōkai Kisen also operates a 9-hour overnight ferry.  The ferry leaves Takeshiba Sanbashi at 22h00 (23h00 in the summer months) and arrives early morning in Izu Ōshima (approximately 6h00), before continuing on to To-shima (7h00), Nii-jima (8h00), Shikine-jima (8h30), and Kōzu-shima (9h30).  The ferry then returns following the same route, leaving Nii-jima at 12h00 and docking in Tokyo at 17h00.  It is possible that in rough weather, the ferry is unable to dock in Nii-jima.
  There are daily flights, weather permitting, from Chōfu Airport located in western Tokyo.  The flight takes approximately 45 minutes.
  Other ferries leave from Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture.
  Niijima-mura also operates a high-speed ferry between Nii-jima and Shikine-jima with 3 boats per day, and 4 per day in the summer months.
