Surf: Aoshima beachbreak is less consistent than Sosanji, but the lefthand reefbreak off the island that houses a beautiful Shinto temple can be long and workable when a solid E typhoon swell hits. Its a fairly predictable ride so gets crowded with longboarders looking to join the sections and ride a few hundred metres. Environment: Not too consistent and always crowded but still should be tried as a quintessential Japanese surfing experience.
