Sanbane Hachijo-cho Tokyo, Tokyo

The beach is located on Hachijojima Island, which is said to be the closest tropical island to Tokyo. Having the only artificial sand beach on the island, it is the most popular bathing beach on Hachijojima Island. Shower rooms, changing rooms, and restrooms are provided, and there is also a campground nearby for families. During the bathing season, beach houses are open, offering a variety of food and beverage menu items, including the popular ramen and shaved ice. Also famous as a diving spot, you can snorkel and see coral reefs and schools of fish. You might see sea turtles if you are lucky.

Small beach easy to access. I didnt enter the water so I can not say much but the view of this place was very good and the water looks good.

Travel / Tourism

Tokyo Hachijomachi Okago 2843

This facility introduces the nature of Hachijojima Island. The visitor center was constructed with the island itself as a motif. Here you can learn about the nature of the island, the origin of the island, the history, the lifestyle and living things. Because there is an approximately 22-hectare large botanical garden next door, many tourists visit both facilities. Aside from the displays, events allowing you to experience nature, such as treks across Mt. Mihara and tide pool exploring, are regularly held.

植物園の中にあり、横が温室。自分は自転車でいったが、車は一台もなかった。海に行く人が多いかもしれませんが、八丈島の固有の生き物とか、光るきのことか展示してあったり、勉強になる。無料なので気軽にいける

Tokyo Hachijomachi Kashitate 1812-3

This day-trip hot spring is located 150 meters from the Kashitate Onsen-mae bus stop. You can enjoy the flowing hot spring water from the inside of log cabin style buildings made of Hachijojima cedar and cypress. It is a sodium-salt-rich chloride spring, which is reputed to be effective on cuts, nerve pain and chronic women's diseases, and have skin beautifying properties. Due to the luxurious atmosphere created by the woodwork, as well as the reasonable prices, there are many local visitors each day, too. Besides an accessible hot spring with handrails, it also has plenty of amenities such as shampoo and dryers.

島の中心部から一番近い温泉なので、地元の人が多いです。町営温泉施設だからなのか、アルコールは禁止となっています。マッサージ機の利用は無料です。

Tokyo Hachijomachi Kashitate 2010

"This tourism facility is located a 12-minute drive from Hachijojima Airport. The ruins were the residence of the Hattori family, who long ago served as the managers of the Bakufu's ships during the Edo period. Now, however, due to the presence of a tropical garden and the deeply historical estate, it is a sightseeing spot that makes one feel as if they're in an exotic locale. Though the original buildings no longer remain, performances of ""Hachijo Daiko,"" said to start with nostalgic thoughts, and ""Kashidate Odori,"" a traditional performance art registered as an intangible folk cultural property by the Tokyo Government, are held at the sight. The Japanese sago palms, said to be 700 years old, and the traveler's gate with its cobblestone wall, built up to the top of the hill, are also must-see sights."

服部家の屋敷跡で、不定期に朝１０時から樫立て踊りと八丈太鼓の公演が行われます。入口には玉石垣が残り、推定樹齢７００年のソテツなどもあり、館内には服部家ゆかりの器や道具類が展示され、お土産品なども販売されています。

Tokyo Hachijomachi Mitsune 1029-7

"This folk craft store is located about five minutes away from Hachijojima Airport by car, distinguished by the retro play equipment placed at its front. They deal in goods related to Hachijojima's traditional silk fabric ""Kihachijo,"" which is based on three colors: yellow, marigold and black. The most popular ""Kihachijo sable"" is a lovely Hachijojima handmade shortbread cookie in the shape of a kimono. Its rich flavor, which comes from an ample usage of Hachijo butter, makes it a popular item with many repeat buyers. There are plenty of smaller items, too, that make use Kihachijo obi cloth, such as wallets and card cases. Searching for your favorite item is fun. The store holds hands-on looming classes, using real looms, so that you can feel closer to Kihachijo (reservations required)."

八丈島はそんなに土産物の代表的なものがないなと思いましたが、八丈はレモン、パッションフルーツは島の特産らしく、生のものも販売されていました。また空港に支店があり、レモンはお店のかたもほかでもあるので、パッションフルーツのほうが珍しいかもと話されていて、そちらを購入。ジャムみたいなのがスポンジにのっている感じです。
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."

"This souvenir shop is marked by its exterior with a kominka (old house) style. A wide variety of souvenirs such as locally sourced and produced products, local confectionery, and folk crafts are available in this quaint tatami-filled shop. The eye-catching, bright yellow ""Kihachijo"" is a silk fabric dyed using plants that naturally grow on the island. Small items made from this fabric, like pouches and card cases, make for perfect Hachijojima souvenirs. A wide range of foods made with ""ashitaba,"" which has a unique bitterness that's sure to become a favorite and Hachijojima and Aogashima islands' potato liquors. Many people enjoy coming to look at the rich variety of original T-shirts."

Tokyo Aogashimamura

"A 30-minute walk from Sanbo Port. This sauna is located a short walk in the opposite direction of the arbor downslope from Mt. Maruyama just a little southwest of the center of Aogashima Island. The sauna makes use of the volcanic steam emitted by a fumarole in the Ikenosawa district locals call ""Hingya."" Although the sauna's temperature is on the low side at 60° C, its natural steam actually warms the body faster and more thoroughly. The sauna also sells steamed sweet potatoes and custard-like soft boiled ""hot spring eggs"" cooked using the fumarole's energy. The sauna is a popular destination not only for local residents but tourists as well."

地熱利用のサウナですので、熱さが地面からジワジワきます。一般的なサウナみたく息苦しくなく、でも汗はたくさん出て気持ちよかったです。サウナ好きなら休憩室もあるので絶対にかなり長居できます。なおお風呂は48度ぐらいと高温で入浴できません。水を足しても自動加温されます。シャワーは温度調整可能です。ここではサウナだけ利用する場所だと思って行けばいいでしょう。この施設はお...

Tokyo Hachijomachi Okago

This lava plateau is located a 10-minute drive from Hachi-jojima Airport. The black basalt plateau is 500 meters wide and 100 meters long. The desolate landscape was formed when lava from an eruption of Mt. Hachijo-Fuji flowed into the sea the waves crashing against the plateau cliff results in explosive sprays of ocean water. Statues of Ukita Hideie, who was banished here after being defeated in the Battle of Sekigahara, and his wife Gohime, who continued to send supplies to her husband as well as her son, are located around 100 meters south of the plateau's parking area.
Uramigataki Falls

Travel / Tourism

Tokyo Hachijomachi Nakanogo

"This waterfall is formed where the Mihara River meets an irrigation channel used to supply water for rice paddies in Nakanogo. Of particular note is the fact that visitors can view the waterfall from behind. The waterfall's name literally means ""rear-viewing falls"" and is derived from the fact that the path along the irrigation channel passes through the rear side of the falls. Situated amidst a lush, naturally beautiful area, visitors will feel like they're deep in a jungle. An outdoor bath with spectacular mountain valley scenery can be found on the side of the walking path in the area, and visitors can enjoy a relaxing soak while looking down on the falls (note that as the bath is mixed gender, bathers must wear a swimsuit) - be careful on rainy days, however, because the path to the falls is not paved and is slippery when wet."

Osaka Tunnel

Tokyo Hachijomachi

"This 150-meter tunnel connects the Okago and Kashitate areas. There is an observation deck and parking lot near the exit on the Okago side. The Osaka Tunnel observation deck is one of the best views on the island. It is the representative sight-seeing spot of Hachijojima Island. From it, you can see the ocean together with Mt. Hachijofuji, Hachijokojima Island and more. Looking below, there is the peak of Mt. Mihara, which runs alongside the Yokoma coast. The sunset that dyes its hills red is ""Osaka's Sunset,"" a sight boasting such beauty that was written about in the Hachijo Hakkei. It is a viewing spot where many cars stop at dusk but also on mornings with clear weather."

Tokyo Hachijomachi

This ranch is located in the middle of Mt. Hachijofuji. Cattle used as livestock graze on its lush, green pastures. The middle of the ranch is fitted with a walking trail, allowing one to fully enjoy the beautiful, natural scenery of Hachijojima Island, a contrast between the expansive grassy fields, the sky, and the ocean, all while admiring the cattle's beautiful fur up close. The ice cream sold only during the Golden Week holiday and summer vacation has an addictive taste with its richness. The flavor of this ice cream, as you gaze at the city from the observation deck found at the end of the trail, is truly special. Littering is strictly forbidden because the cows may accidentally eat it.

Tokyo Hachijomachi Kashitate 347

"This local restaurant is located near the Kashitate post office. One is able to enjoy dishes that allow them to feel the history and culture of Hachijojima inside this restaurant, with its exotic atmosphere and tropical plants. The ""goshamen ryori,"" one of the items on the restaurant's menu, is a local dish said to have been served in celebration long ago to an exile on Hachijojima who had been permitted to return to the mainland. The exquisite cuisine is reputed for allowing one to fully enjoy the taste of Hachijojima. Large-scale sightseeing buses also often stop at this restaurant because of the unique structures, like stone walls, set up inside. Because reservations are required at night, you must contact the restaurant by 15:00 on the day you would like to dine."

古民家で食べる島のお料理。ランチに伺いました。お刺身から島の海藻の煮物や酢の物、最後は麦雑炊。コースのお料理なのに揚げ物がなく、胃に優しい内容のお料理でした。島で採れたバナナのスムージーも注文しましたが、とてもあっさりしていて美味しかったです！

This scenic spot is located at the end of the most winding mountain road that goes around Hachijojima Island. From the top of the observation deck one can see the cityscape of Mine, including Mt. Hachijofuji, Mt. Kando, Sokodo Port, and more. The observatory is also famous for the number one and two view spots on the island. It got its name from the path that looks like a dragon rising upwards, which one can see from the top of the observatory. On nice days, you can even see the silhouette of Miyake and Mikura islands. Known for its beautiful night view and starry sky, it has also been selected as one of the 100 Views of New Tokyo.

Tokyo Hachijomachi Mitsune 361

"This sushi shop is popular for its gallant position of ""If we don't have good fish in stock then we won't open."" At this restaurant near the Mitsune/Goshin Intersection marked by its large signboard, you can enjoy seasonal fish. The most popular ""shimazushi"" is a local dish where the main ingredient of the sushi is steeped in a soy sauce based dipping sauce and placed on top of sweet vinegared rice. It is characterized by its use of karashi Japanese mustard instead of wasabi. It uses flying fish, pacific barrelfish and iwanori seaweed, ingredients that are not usually seen in Edo-style sushi. Many tourists are surprised by these unexpected combinations. As different ingredients need to be pickled for different lengths of time, be sure to book in advance."

Osato no Tamaishigaki

Travel / Tourism

Tokyo Hachijomachi Okago

"Hachijojima Island, surrounded by rich nature, is in an area that has been subject to violent storms since ancient times. The beautiful ""Tamaishigaki,"" made by arranging groups of six stones around one round stone, were created in order to protect houses from damage by wind and rain. You can see Tamaishigaki across the whole island, but those in the Osato district are particularly well preserved, on a large scale, and are a famous sight of Hachijojima Island, frequently appearing on tourism posters. There is a theory that the systematically built Tamaishigaki were constructed by exiles who carried rocks up from the coast. It is a spot where you can calmly stroll along while thinking about the location's history."

Tokyo Areas

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
