Get in
It is very difficult to get permission to visit this island, with the custodians insisting that "people shouldn't visit out of curiosity". Additionally there is a ban on females visiting at all.
If you get permission to visit, then a purifying ceremony must be undertaken by stripping naked and walking through the sea (called misogi).
