  • Osaka Tunnel
    Travel / Tourism
    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."

  • Noboryo-toge Observatory

    Tokyo Hachijomachi Mitsune
    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.

  • Nago Observatory
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Hachijomachi Sueyoshi
    This observatory is located in the Sueyoshi area, the village farthest from airports and ports. The view from the observatory is counted as one of the eight must-see views on the island, and is 20 minutes from the airport by car. From the parking lot, you need to follow an unpaved path surrounded by subtropical plants for about 20 meters. From the cliffs of Koiwadogahana that protrude into the Pacific Ocean, you can look out over the ocean, Borawazawa Port and the silhouette of the somewhat distant Aogashima Island. This place has been famous since long ago as a place to view the harvest moon, and was chosen as one of the eight picturesque views of Hachijojima Island.

  • Hachijojima Lighthouse
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Hachijomachi Sueyoshi
    This cylindrical lighthouse is located in the Sueyoshi area at the southernmost tip of the island. First lit in 1951, it is also called Sueyoshi Lighthouse after the village on the island. The inside of the white walled lighthouse is off-limits, but from the entrance you can see it against the backdrop of the clear blue sea and sky. The open atmosphere in the air there, typical of southern islands, makes it a popular spot for taking photographs. It has also been used as a location in movies. Because the road leading to the lighthouse is narrow, those coming by car should drive with caution.

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.
