City & Place Guide

A volcanic island escape with lush jungles and hot springs

Hachijojima is a remote volcanic island located about 287 kilometers south of Tokyo in the Philippine Sea. Part of the Izu Islands chain, it is known for dramatic twin volcanoes, dense subtropical forests, and a laid-back atmosphere that feels worlds apart from the bustling capital.

The island has a rich history as a place of exile during the Edo period, lending it a unique cultural identity. Today it attracts surfers, hikers, snorkelers, and travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Japanese experience without leaving the country.

Despite its small size, Hachijojima offers a surprising variety of activities, from soaking in free public hot spring baths to diving in crystal-clear waters teeming with sea turtles. The islanders are famously warm and welcoming to the relatively few tourists who make the journey.

  • •Mount Hachijo-Fuji — hike the rim of this dormant volcano for panoramic ocean views
  • •Miharashi-no-yu — free open-air hot spring bath with sweeping ocean panoramas
  • •Uramigataki Falls — serene jungle waterfall reached via a short scenic hike
  • •Hachijo Botanical Garden — lush park showcasing subtropical flora native to the island
  • •Nakanogo Onsen — historic hot spring pool nestled in a tranquil jungle setting
  • •Hachijojima History and Folk Museum — learn about the island's Edo-period exile history

Getting around: Hachijojima has no railway; visitors rely on a limited public bus network that loops around the island, rental cars or scooters available at the airport, taxis for shorter trips, and bicycles for leisurely coastal rides. Renting a car or scooter is strongly recommended as bus frequency is low and many sights are spread across the island.

Best time: Late spring (May to early June) offers the most pleasant weather with lush greenery, fewer crowds, and comfortable temperatures before typhoon season begins.

Local food: Try ashitaba tempura and ashitaba soba made from the island's prized native herb, along with fresh grilled fish, island-raised beef, and the sweet local liquor known as Sochu Hachijo.
