The picturesque Kozu Island. With an approximate 3-10 hour boat ride away from Tokyo, depending on the island, the Izu Islands are easily accessible from the Japanese capital, although inter-island travel is not as flexible. For their field work, the researchers stayed at local family-run guest houses, and travelled to their study sites in the early morning where they searched for lizards until the late afternoon.
