Mikurajima Village covers the inhabited island of Mikurajima, one of the northern islands in the Izu archipelago in the Philippine Sea, 200 kilometres (120 mi) south of Tokyo and 19 kilometres (12 mi) south-southeast of Miyakejima, and the uninhabited islet of Inambajima.

[2] Warmed by the Kuroshio Current, the village has a warmer and wetter climate than central Tokyo.

The village economy is dominated by seasonal tourism supplemented by forestry and commercial fishing.

Due to its difficulty to access, it receives considerably fewer visitors than the other islands in the Izu chain.

Due to the low population and limited number of visitors, the natural habitat remains relatively untainted.
