Oshima Memezu Beach Nature Study Trail by Bus Guide

Short answer: Choose Memezu Beach and the nature study trail if you want a quieter Oshima Park-side nature walk, but be careful about the approach. Official information treats the through-route from the Senzu coastline path as a stronger-walker option because return transport is limited.

What The Trail Is

Tokyo Oshima Branch describes the nature study trail as a route from Memezu Beach through Naganemisaki to Santazawa. The listed length is about 2.0 km. That makes it sound short, but access and return planning matter more here than the number alone.

The same official hiking page says there are two ways to approach the course. One is to use the Umi no Furusato Mura parking area. The other is to walk through from the Senzu coastline path. For most bus-based visitors, that difference is the whole decision.

The Stronger-Walker Warning

Tokyo Oshima Branch specifically says the through-walk option from the Senzu coastline path is for stronger walkers because return transport is limited and the nearest bus stop is Oshima Park Zoo. Do not treat that as a casual add-on after a long coastal walk.

If you already walked from Senzu toward Gyoja Beach, check your legs, weather, daylight, and return plan before continuing. The better travel decision may be to stop, use Gyoja Coast Tunnel context only as a map reference, and return while bus or shuttle options still work.

Using Umi No Furusato Mura

Umi no Furusato Mura is the practical planning anchor. Tokyo Oshima Branch says the facility is in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and includes camping and central lodge facilities. Its official page also warns that the area is far from settlements and shops, with narrow, steep, curving roads nearby.

The same page advises visitors to finish shopping and sightseeing before arrival because going back out takes time. It also says free shuttle service is provided between the facility and Oshima Park bus stop, but shuttle times should be checked from current notices and extra requests may not be possible.

Bus And Payment Logic

Tokyo’s English Oshima Park page says visitors can take the bus from the airport or harbor to Oshima Park bus stop, and notes that some parts of the park might be closed. Use Oshima Park as the public-transport reference point, then confirm the Umi no Furusato Mura shuttle separately if you plan to rely on it.

When checked, the Oshima Bus route-bus page showed a timetable period from July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026. It listed a one-day pass at 2,500 yen for adults and 1,250 yen for children, and a two-day pass at 3,800 yen for adults and 1,900 yen for children, valid on all routes.

The Oshima Bus FAQ says Suica, PASMO, and other IC cards are not accepted. Cash and PayPay are accepted, and on-bus change is available only for 50 to 500 yen coins and 1,000 yen notes. Carry small cash, especially when your plan depends on a limited return window.

Best Fit

Choose this if you want a nature-study route tied to Memezu Beach and Umi no Furusato Mura.
Use the Umi no Furusato Mura approach for the simpler planning shape.
Treat the Senzu coastline through-walk as stronger-walker planning because return transport is limited.
Check park closures, shuttle notices, bus times, weather, daylight, fares, and payment rules before leaving the road.
Turn back early if the route, sea, weather, or return timing stops feeling comfortable.
