Hachijo Island (Hachijojima)

Travel / Tourism

Hachijo-jima Hachijo-machi, Tokyo

"Hachijo Island (Hachijojima) can be reached by air from Haneda Airport in around 55 minutes, or by taking a large passenger ship on an overnight voyage from Takeshiba Pier in Tokyo that takes around 10 hours and 20 minutes. The island has been described as ""the closest tropical paradise to Tokyo."" The waters around the island, which are a unique aquamarine color known as ""Hachijo Blue,"" are very clear, and are a popular scuba diving destination because of the high likelihood of being able to see sea turtles. There are many things to see on the island itself, including Uramigataki Waterfall (where visitors can walk behind the curtain of water), and Mt. Hachijo-Fuji, where it is possible to enjoy spectacular, 360-degree panoramic views. In spring, the annual Freesia Festival is held, during which time around 350,000 freesias are in bloom in the foothills of Mt. Hachijo-Fuji."

Miyake Island (Miyakejima) has warm weather all year round, and is a great place to enjoy both marine activities such as scuba diving and swimming with dolphins, and on-land leisure activities.
