Independent in Oshima from NZ$89

The best area to stay in Oshima is Motomachi, which is the island's main port town and central hub.


Motomachi is located on the western side of Oshima and serves as the primary gateway for ferries arriving from the mainland. It's a compact, walkable area with a good selection of restaurants, shops, and guesthouses. The main street, which runs parallel to the port, offers convenient access to local amenities and is where you'll find the Oshima Tourist Information Centre.


Families often find Motomachi a good base due to its convenience. From here, it's easy to catch local buses to popular attractions like the Mount Mihara hiking trails or the Oshima Park. The port area itself is relatively flat, making it easy to navigate with children.


For those looking for a slightly more secluded experience, the area around Habu Port on the island's southern tip offers a different feel. While smaller than Motomachi, Habu Port has a picturesque, historic harbour with a few charming local eateries.

The best time to visit Oshima is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is mild and pleasant for outdoor activities.


Spring brings comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, making it ideal for hiking the trails around Mount Mihara and exploring the island's natural beauty. The island's camellia flowers are also in bloom during this period, particularly from January to March, adding to the scenery. This season is great for couples looking for a romantic escape with scenic walks and beautiful floral displays.


Autumn offers similarly agreeable weather, with temperatures usually between 15°C and 25°C, and generally less rainfall than the summer months. This makes it an excellent time for cycling around the island or enjoying the beaches without the peak summer crowds. Solo travellers looking for an active holiday will find the conditions great for exploring Oshima's volcanic landscapes and coastal paths.


While summer (June to August) is warm and suitable for swimming, it can also be humid and sees more tourists. Winter (December to February) is cooler and quieter, but some facilities might have reduced hours.
