【Hachijojima】Sea, mountains, ranches, and breathtaking natural spots!

Recommended scenic spots shared by someone who stayed on Hachijojima for a month and a half! ① The perfect coastline for watching sunsets! 【Nanbara Senjoiwa Coast】 📍 Oogago, Hachijo Town, Tokyo The combination of the sunset and Hachijo Kojima Island truly makes you feel like you've arrived at Hachijojima. ※ Parking available Weekdays are quiet, allowing you to enjoy the scenery all to yourself! Nearby, there's a stylish café called "Kuukansha" where you can relax before enjoying the sunset, ocean, and lava-filled nature at Nanbara. ② A true hidden gem! A natural spot deep in the forest 【Karataki Waterfall】 📍 Kashitate, Hachijo Town, Hachijojima, Tokyo After walking for about 40 minutes from the starting point, you'll begin to see the waterfall. If you venture further using the ropes, you'll discover a hidden waterfall spot! Feeling the mist of the waterfall up close and dipping your feet into the river is a blissful moment. Since it's akin to light hiking, it's recommended to wear comfortable clothes for exercise. There are two parking areas, so you can also drive there. ③ Be amazed by the proximity of the clouds! A ranch on a remote island 【Fureai Ranch】 📍 5627-1 Oogago, Hachijo Town, Tokyo Cattle roam freely, and you can see them up close. The ranch is located on a mountain, offering a panoramic view of Hachijojima's stunning scenery. With few visitors, you can enjoy a leisurely and relaxing time here. ④ A mountain you can drive to the summit?! 【Miharayama】 If you want to enjoy mountain views more easily than Hachijo Fuji, this is a great option. Driving to the summit of Miharayama quickly reveals breathtaking views. You can even see Hachijo Fuji in the distance. Observing wild Ashitaba plants is another highlight! Island sightseeing is highly dependent on the weather, and the combination of natural elements you’ll encounter can only be discovered by visiting on the day. Despite being part of Tokyo, Hachijojima offers a completely different natural experience. Finding your own personal relaxation spot and unwinding is a wonderful way to enjoy the island.
