Sarushima island lures castaway partiers on early summer evenings

YOKOSUKA, Kanagawa Prefecture--Known to locals as "Monkey Island," Sarushima, an uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay, is instead coming to life in the early evening hours as a party venue for human visitors.

Partygoers can drink cocktails and other intoxicating beverages at the beach while listening to live music and enjoying other activities.

The Sarushima Magic event is being held on weekends and holidays through Sept. 24.

The final ferry back to Yokosuka leaves the island 30 minutes after sunset instead of the regular 5 p.m. departure.
