    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。

  • Osato no Tamaishigaki

    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."

    八丈島三根地区にある、浄土宗の寺院です。境内には八丈実記の著者である近藤富蔵(守真)の墓もあり、八丈島の歴史に興味があれば訪問するのも良いかと思います。また、境内からは八丈富士がなかなかに美しく見えます。

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.
