The island itself is a prison?!

Alcatraz Island in San Francisco allows you to visit the actual prison! It takes 15 to 20 minutes by boat from San Francisco! (Tickets sell out quickly, so we recommend buying them online early!) You can tour with a guide, or borrow a Japanese-speaking guide tape! This prison was once said to be impossible to escape from, but someone who had escaped in the past is said to have disappeared. You can see the room where that person actually made a hole and escaped. The sea breeze is strong and cold, so we recommend dressing warmly! There are also souvenir shops selling books about Alcatraz and replica tableware used in the prison! #prison #sanfrancisco #americatravel #california
