Tokyo to Izu Oshima
... this about the weird structure: http://www.michaeljohngrist.com/2009/02 /kaze-no-to-and-umi-hotaru-tokyo-bay/
Once docked at Okata, there appeared to be no one from our hotel to greet us but then a man came with a banner with the inn's name in kanji on it. Unfortunately neither of us could read it.

Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)
