Himeshima
7.3
Lower score (below 6)
A fishing island of roughly 1,700 people accessible by ferry, known for the annual monarch butterfly migration — that's the entire draw. The whole island is one small village economy built around fishing and a short tourist season. Everyone knows everyone, outsiders are immediately visible, and there is no nightlife or social scene in any sense of the phrase. About as far outside any useful social environment as you can get in Japan.
