Izu Oshima travel safety advice
Hikers on some trails through dense forest could be confronted with poisonous snakes (蛇 hebi). If the volcano begins erupting while you are close to the summit, there are many "volcano shelters" that one can take refuge in while waiting for help. These look like concrete tubes with an opening on one end, and are found throughout the island. Oshima has an excellent disaster response system, so if you hear sirens, speak to someone to find out what to do.
The epicenter for the Great Tokai Earthquake, which is overdue, is directly under Izu Oshima as well. Please observe proper earthquake precaution techniques.
