Hachijo Botanical Park is a truly beautiful and lush hidden gem on the island, offering a unique experience that's a must-visit for any nature lover. The botanical garden is incredibly well-maintained, with various paths winding through diverse tropical plants and trees, making for a wonderfully relaxing stroll. What truly sets this park apart, however, is the magical phenomenon of the glowing mushrooms. Seeing these bioluminescent fungi softly illuminate the darkness was an absolutely unforgettable and almost surreal experience. It adds an incredible layer of wonder to an already peaceful setting. During the day, the air is so refreshing, and the nature is vibrant. This park perfectly blends education with a sense of wonder, making it ideal for both leisurely walking and exploring. It’s an experience you won’t find just anywhere, especially with the chance to witness the natural glow. The glowing mushrooms make it feel like stepping into a fairy tale.

Would highly recommend. Very peaceful gardens where you can hear lots of birdsong and see a wide variety of plants and scenery. There is also an area fenced off with small dear, called "Kyon" in Japanese which is a nice place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. It's only a 20 minute walk from the airport and the visitors center is also well designed for children so I would recommend a good 2 hours to fully enjoy the park if you have the time.

Much bigger than expected and free! If you ask in the information center for English guides they have a few brochures. A must on Hachijo.

Good amount of ground to cover. Free parking. Most of the attractions were closed by the time we arrived (want to say 3 or 4 PM). The deer enclosure needs to be larger for the animals.

Small muntjac deer in an enclosure are very friendly. Small but beautiful fish tank in the visitor center with many local reef animals.

(Translated by Google) It's a modest tourist spot. I've been traveling to Hachijojima about once a year for about 30 years, but this was my first visit. I was satisfied to learn about the island's ecosystem and learn about things related to it. The Hachijojima Muntjac is also cute ❤ I learned about Hachijojima Muntjac from the old manga Gaki Deka! It was a much smaller deer than I had imagined. There was a stuffed specimen at the Pricia Resort Hotel, which went out of business a long time ago, but the living Muntjac was completely different from the image I had of it. If you're here, I recommend seeing the Muntjac of Hachijojima. The tropical botanical garden was also a good learning experience. The way bananas, vanilla, and other tropical foods grow, and the traveler's tree (Tabibitonoki) were spectacular. The glowing mushrooms at the visitor center can be seen in an instant if you close the curtains, so I think it's a good idea to see them. There are also large stuffed turtles on display. In fact, when you go fishing on Hachijojima, you sometimes have the chance to see large turtles. Especially when fishing at night, I have seen turtles with heads as big as humans. Just looking at the stuffed turtles is impressive. I would especially recommend this to people visiting Hachijojima for the first time. (Original) 地味な観光スポットです。 30年くらい八丈島に、年に1回ペースくらいで、旅行していて、こちらは初めて訪問しました。 島の生態系を学べて、それにまつわる事を知ることが出来て、満足しました。 八丈島のキョンも可愛い❤ 古い漫画の、がきデカで知った、八丈島のキョン！ イメージよりも、とても小さな鹿でした。 昔、廃業してしまったプリシアリゾートホテルに、剥製が有りましたが、生きているキョンは、今まで持っていたイメージとは、全く違うものでした。 せっかく、ここに来たら、八丈島のキョンを観る事をお勧めします。 南国系の植物園も、良い学びに成りました。 バナナ、バニラ、他、南国系の、食材の元の生え方、そして、旅人の木(タビビトノキ)が圧巻でした。 ビジターセンターの、光るキノコは、一瞬で、カーテンを閉めると見れますから、観た方が良いと思います。 大きな亀の剥製も、展示されています。 実際に、八丈島で釣りをしていると、時々、大きな亀を見る機会が有ります。 特に夜釣りでは、頭が、人間と同じくらいの亀が見れました。 実際に剥製を見るだけでも、迫力を感じました。 初めて、八丈島を観光する方には、特に、お勧めします。

(Translated by Google) Hachijo Botanical Garden is a public facility run by the government, yet it's surprisingly packed with content. Despite the free admission, the garden is expansive and well-explored, and I enjoyed it more than I expected. What particularly impressed me was the abundance and diversity of plants. Surrounded by the impressive trees and flowers unique to the tropics, it felt like I'd wandered into another world. The greenhouse area was particularly impressive, allowing me to see rare tropical plants up close, and it was full of learning and amazement. The garden is also dotted with little delights, such as a delicious gelato shop. When you feel a bit tired from exploring the garden, it's a delight to enjoy a cool, sweet gelato. There's also an area where you can observe glowing mushrooms at night, a fantastical sight unique to Hachijojima. The different charms of day and night are also fascinating. As a government-run facility, I had a slightly stuffy impression of it, but it was actually a relaxing and exciting tourist spot. In addition to the impressive plants, there is also a combination of gourmet food and unique exhibits, making it a place that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from children to adults. It is a recommended park that is definitely worth stopping by when visiting Hachijojima. (Original) 八丈植物公園は、行政が運営している公共の施設ながら、その内容の充実度に驚かされるスポットです。入園料無料で気軽に立ち寄れるにも関わらず、園内は広大で見応えがあり、思っていた以上に楽しめました。特に印象的だったのは、植物の豊かさと多様さ。南国ならではの迫力ある樹木や花々に囲まれると、まるで別世界に迷い込んだような感覚になります。なかでも温室エリアは圧巻で、熱帯の珍しい植物を間近で見ることができ、学びと驚きの連続でした。 また、園内にはちょっとした楽しみも散りばめられていて、その一つがおいしいジェラート屋さん。植物園散策で少し疲れたときに、ひんやり甘いジェラートをいただけるのは嬉しいポイントです。さらに夜には光るきのこが観察できるエリアもあり、幻想的な光景を体験できるのは八丈島ならでは。昼と夜で異なる魅力を楽しめるのも面白い点です。 行政が運営する施設ということで少し堅い印象を抱いていましたが、実際にはリラックスしながらワクワクできる観光スポットでした。植物の迫力に加え、グルメやユニークな展示が融合しており、子どもから大人まで幅広く楽しめる場所です。八丈島を訪れた際には必ず立ち寄る価値のあるおすすめの公園です。

A nice Onsen overlooking the sea, too bad abit cloudy. I was using the Bus-pa 2 days pass using mobile app. The network here wasn’t that good. But managed to connect to an unsecured wifi. The towel here cost $300 yen. Advice to bring your own, in my case a souvenir.

Awesome spot for 500yen only, with a stunning atmosphere and view and a friendly staff. But it gets packed fast. Was lucky to enjoy it by myself for a while before so many people showed up.

There's 2 bathrooms for men and women as same as other onsen. One of them has extremely good ocean view. And the rooms exchange based on the number of date, even number or odd number. So I recommend you to come here 2 days in a row. And bus comes just few times a day. There's no place to eat around here. So I recommend you to bring some food. Green tea is free of charge with self-service.

The hot spring which represents the island. As it is common in Japan this hot spring divides men and women for their baths and it changes daily who can enter the "beautiful" side of the hot spring. However, I have been to the both sides and I'd argue that both are equally beautiful. You can enjoy the ocean view from both sides so no worries there.

We enjoyed the beautiful star while in hot spring! We will visit again!

Very nice outdoor pool Onsen, which actually was second or third best in Japan. Views are great, facing south, so while you can’t see the sunset directly, you can see the sun go down behind the mountains. As they switch the pools daily between gents and ladies, should go at least twice. Admission was 500 yen, so it’s on the pricey side, but I’d say it’s definitely worth it twice.

No frills onsen with a fantastic view of the mountains and ocean. Note that while we had the onsen pretty much to ourselves (mid-June), the onsen is reportedly packed during most other seasons. This onsen does not have food or onsite massage. Just the onsen with a Hachijoujima towel you can purchase.

Well organized friendly staff excellent displays by

(Translated by Google) Admission is free. The museum is open from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm. The 400 yen iced coffee was delicious. The museum has a wealth of information about Hachijojima's topography, weather, and sunsets, so I recommend visiting early during your stay. The souvenirs are a bit pricey, but the cafe was a hidden gem. (Original) 入館無料。 開館は、午前9時から午後4時45分まで。 アイスコーヒー400円が美味しかった。 八丈島の地形や天候、日の入りがわかるし まとまった情報があって、滞在中は 早めの来館をオススメします。 お土産は高めですが、 カフェは意外な穴場だった。

(Translated by Google) The faint green glow in the dark room was fantastical, like a forest spirit. Being able to observe the luminescent mushrooms that can actually be seen in the island's forests up close was a rare experience. My understanding of Hachijojima's nature and ecosystem has deepened considerably. It's hard to believe admission is free, as there is so much to see and enjoy for both adults and children. (Original) 暗室の中でほんのりと緑色に光る姿は幻想的で、まるで森の精霊のよう。 実際に島の森で見られる発光キノコを間近で観察できるのは貴重な体験です。 八丈島の自然や生態系への理解がぐっと深まりました。 入館無料とは思えない充実度で、大人も子どもも楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) It may seem a little difficult to get into, but the kind curator will be able to show you the highlights. It seems that they are trying to make the glowing mushrooms visible as often as possible, so we recommend that you take a look when they are on display when you visit! There is also a toilet on the premises. (Original) 少し入りにくい気もしますが、親切な学芸員の方の説明で見どころを教えていただけます 光るキノコはなるべくいつでも見られるように努力されているようですので、是非訪れた際に展示されたら見ることをお勧めします！ トイレも施設内にあります

(Translated by Google) I stopped by to learn about the island's natural environment. There were colorful fish in the large aquarium, which was fun. You should definitely see the glowing mushrooms! (Original) 島の自然の事も知れるので立ち寄りました。大きな水槽で色とりどりの魚などがいて、楽しめました。光るキノコは絶対に見ましょう！

(Translated by Google) This is an interesting visitor center with information about Hachijojima's geography, history, and culture. The most interesting and wonderful thing is the aquarium, where small fish, small corals and small creatures all live together. They were so beautiful, so colorful, so fascinating that myself and a few other visitors spent nearly half an hour just looking at this tank. Another interesting thing is the glowing mushroom in the small dark room. We had a wonderful time at this small visitor center. (Original) ここは八丈島の地理、歴史、文化などについての情報がある興味深いビジターセンターです。最も興味深くて素晴らしいのは、小さな魚、小さなサンゴ、小さな生物がすべて一緒に暮らしている水槽です。それらはとても美しく、とても色鮮やかで、とても魅力的で、僕と他の数人の訪問者は、この水槽を眺めるだけで 30 分近く過ごしました。もう 1 つ興味深いのは、小さな暗い部屋にある光るキノコです。僕たちはこの小さなビジターセンターで素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。

(Translated by Google) The video introducing the island was interesting. Even if it wasn't a screening time, they would play your favorite video from four different options if you had the time. They even took photos of me riding on a stuffed sea turtle. The staff were all so kind, I ended up staying there for two days, taking a break instead. The gelato is also recommended! The shiitake mushrooms, angelica tree leaves, and Hachijo fruit lemon complete the island flavor experience. (Original) 島を紹介するビデオが興味深かった。 上映時間でなくてもお手隙なら4種類あるうち好みのビデオを流してくれます。 海亀の剥製に乗って写真撮ってくださいました。 スタッフの方も皆親切で、休憩がてら2日も行ってしまいました。 ジェラートもお勧め！ 椎茸と明日葉、八丈フルーツレモン食べたら、島の味コンプリート

(Translated by Google) Parking lot for about 10 cars. There are no restrooms or shops. If you need to, go to the farm on the other side. You can get here by car, but the scenery is beautiful here as well. (Original) 駐車場が10台程度。お手洗いや売店はありません。 もし必要であれば反対側の牧場へ行ってください。 ここまで車で行けますが、ここでも景色は綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) There's about 10 parking spaces. I was able to find one just in time when I went. From the trailhead to the fork in the crater trail, you have to climb the stone steps, which was harder than I thought... It was summer, so I ended up drenched in sweat. There are no toilets, so it's best to use the toilet at the inn or the petting farm beforehand. (Original) 駐車スペースは10台分くらい？自分が行った時はギリギリ止める事が出来ました。登山口からお鉢めぐりの分岐点まで石段をひたすら登っていくんですが、思っていたよりもキツかったですねぇ､､､ 夏場なので汗だくになってしまいました。トイレはありませんので事前に宿やふれあい牧場で済ませておきましょう。

T his is very nice 🙂👍

(Translated by Google) The parking lot can fit about 10 cars. I went there around 8am on a holiday and was the first one there, but it was full when I returned after spending about 3 hours walking around the crater rim and going to the shrine at the crater. There is volcanic gravel on the road and some parts of the road are bad, so be careful. (Original) 駐車場は10台ほど休日の8時ぐらいに向かったところ1台目でしたが、お鉢巡りして火口の神社まで行って3時間ほど 戻ってきた時には満車でした 道路にも火山性の砂利がでていて道も一部悪いので注意

(Translated by Google) The stairs were so steep that I almost gave up several times along the way. But the view from the top was amazing! (Original) 階段がすごすぎて途中何度も諦めそうに。 でも上からの絶景がたまらなかった！

(Translated by Google) Climbing notifications must be submitted by email. From the trailhead to the Ohachi Fork, most of the route consists of stairs and slopes. There are handrails in places too. Only the final section, approaching the Ohachi Fork, felt like a stone path rather than stairs. Even climbing slowly, I reached the Hachi Fork in an hour. (Original) 登山届はメールで出す形式。 登山口からお鉢分岐まで、ほとんどの区間が階段＋スロープという構成。 ところどころ手すりもある。 お鉢分岐に近づく最後のあたりだけは階段ではなく石の道という感じだった。 ゆっくり登っても1時間でお鉢分岐まで到達できた。

(Translated by Google) These are my impressions from a visit quite some time ago. There are no shops or anything, but there is greenery even in the crater, so beautiful is probably the best word to describe it. It doesn't require much physical strength either. At the time, we had it all to ourselves, and even now only people who can make it to the island come, and since their main purpose is probably to see the sea, you can enjoy the view from the mountain without the crowds. The ranch on the slope along the way is beautiful, and the cows are adorable. Whether you're halfway up or on top of the mountain, it all contributes to the beautiful scenery☺️ (Original) かなり前に行った感想です。 お店等はないですが、火口の中にも緑があり、美しい、と言う言葉がふさわしいかと。 体力をそんなに要求されるものでもなく。 当時は自分たちだけで独占できましたが、 やはり今でも島にこられる人しか来ない上に、 目的は海でしょうから、混雑せずに山からの眺めを楽しめます。 途中の斜面の牧場そのものも美しいし、ウシもかわいい。 中腹からでも、山の上からでも、いい景色にひと役買っています☺️

Nice clean green emerald water, but can get dirty with plastics and other debris... Volcanic beach with black sands is tiny. Mountain view is nice. Parking and clean toilet and shower amenities are a nice add. Can be a good star viewing spot at night, although I found the stars to be not so shiny after all.

Sea turtles and sealife everywhere, just feet from the beach! Awesome place to snorkle. Not your usual beach though, there is not a lot of sand.

Great place to enjoy the beach and breeze.

It's wonderful black beach. So many people can enjoy swimming.

Good relaxing place, but the security is bit laking

Lovely beach!

(Translated by Google) Because it's made of volcanic rock, you can't expect blue water or white sand beaches, but it's no exaggeration to say that this is the only place to go for a day at the beach in Hachijo!!! You can see sea turtles and even take a dive, so it's a lot of fun! Be careful, as the water can get cloudy on windy or bad weather days. (Original) 火山岩なので 青い海！白い砂浜！ というわけには行きませんが 八丈で海で遊ぶならもうここ一択と言っても過言ではありません！！！ ウミガメも見れるし、軽い飛び込みもできるので最高に楽しいですよ！ 風が強かったり天気の悪い日の前後は水が濁りやすいので注意です。

Reaching Kukansha, though a short drive from Hachijojima Airport (around 10-15 minutes by car, easily accessible by rental car or taxi), is part of the unique experience of this secluded paradise. Once there, you are instantly transported to a world of tranquil nature. The beautiful architecture seamlessly blends with the lush surroundings, and the sound of the ocean is a constant, soothing presence. I spent my days unwinding and embracing the relaxing atmosphere. The hospitality extended by the staff was impeccable, providing helpful tips for exploring the island while respecting my privacy. At night, the stargazing was absolutely phenomenal, a truly magical element of this escape. If you're seeking a serene and deeply relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle, Kukansha offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with nature and yourself. It’s more than just a stay; it’s a profound experience of peace.

This is a place where people feel relaxed. Outside is so hot but no inside, you can order some ice and enjoy

Friendly service, dog ok on balcony, food and drinks nice too.

Delicious, beautiful and friendly staff. This cafe was a wonderful find- loved the decor, the atmosphere, the helpful and friendly staff and the drinks and cakes were really good. Highly recommended.

The best kaikogori in 🇯🇵 Japan. Incredibly friendly service. Amazing atmosphere. Beautiful design. Passion fruits and ashitaba cheesecake are particularly delicious. Open hours are 13-18:00 (except Tue & Fri). ❤️🎂👍🏼

Scrumptious matcha cheesecake, great latte, fine detailed furnishings, wonderful host!

Delicious! Excellent service. English speaking. Beautiful place for sweets/ coffee/ shaved ice

Very disappointed and it was terrible! Because overall there was nothing special and I gusss it was below average. I was especially surprised that sea urchin was the worst one since it was very stink! Never ever recommend. FYI I did not have Shima zushi, just had Nigiri, traditional Japanese Sushi. And the owner was so strong character, be careful.

We stopped by without a reservation on a Monday night and were seated right away. The sushi, maguro maki rolls, kappa maki rolls, and the Island sushi were all delicious!! The service was great and although we do not speak Japanese we were able to order and have a little conversation with the staff. Price was very reasonable too!

I took the island fish sushi set, one of the best sushis I had in Japan!! 🇯🇵 I would recommend everyone to come to this place, also very nice people

Awesomely delicious and reasonably priced. Get the shimazushi, a local specialty. The fatty tuna is not too shabby either! It is recommended (required?) to make a reservation, even for lunch. You need to tell them your menu choice at the time of reservation. The menu is displayed with pictures on their website.

Good sushi at reasonable price , the different shima-zushis all the tasted the same tbh but good

Good sushi at reasonable prices. But shimasushi isn’t for me (they all taste the same)

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and visited POSEIDON because I wanted to eat somewhere special on a night in Hachijojima. POSEIDON was a restaurant that lived up to my expectations. The space, with its subdued lighting and the warmth of wood, has an atmosphere that makes you forget for a moment that you are on Hachijojima. The atmosphere is sophisticated, unlike that of a tourist destination, and time flows comfortably and quietly. Each dish is carefully prepared, with a gentle flavor that brings out the quality of the ingredients. The Caprese has an exquisite balance of mozzarella, tomato, and olive oil, and has a refreshing taste that is perfect for the first dish. The chicken liver has a fluffy texture with no odor. The pumpkin gnocchi has a gentle sweetness of the pumpkin and a creamy sauce that matches well, and the more you eat it, the more your heart relaxes. Each dish is not flashy, but rather sincere, and it is deeply moving. All the dishes were exquisitely balanced, with a hint of urban flair. The staff were friendly and the natural distance and attention to detail was comfortable, making it the perfect dinner to end our trip. This is a rare restaurant where you can feel a slightly "urban" aftertaste during your island trip. It was a wonderful place that I would definitely like to visit again on a special evening. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 八丈島の夜、どこか特別な場所で食事がしたくて予約して訪れました。 POSEIDONは、まさにその期待に応えてくれるレストランでした。 落ち着いた照明と木の温もりが感じられる空間は、八丈島にいることを一瞬忘れてしまうような雰囲気。 観光地らしからぬ洗練された空気が流れていて、心地よく静かな時間が流れます。 料理はどれも丁寧に仕上げられていて、素材の良さが引き立つやさしい味。 カプレーゼはモッツァレラとトマト、オリーブオイルのバランスが絶妙で、一品目にふさわしい清涼感。 鶏レバーは臭みゼロでふわっとした食感。 かぼちゃのニョッキは、かぼちゃのやさしい甘みとクリーミーなソースがマッチして、食べ進めるほどに心がほぐれる味でした。 派手さではなく、誠実さを感じる一皿一皿に、じんわりと感動があります。 どこか都会的なセンスも感じられる、そんな絶妙なバランスの料理ばかりでした。 スタッフの方も親切で、自然な距離感と気配りが心地よく、旅の終わりにぴったりのディナーになりました。 島旅の中で、少しだけ“都会的な”余韻を感じられる、貴重なお店です。 特別な夜に、ぜひまた訪れたいと思える素敵な場所でした。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) The Italian bar "POSEIDON" is a relaxed restaurant on Hachijojima that is popular with both locals and tourists. In the evening, you can enjoy casual Italian food, and pasta, pizza, and beef steaks are popular dishes. What's interesting is that you can bring in fish you caught yourself to the restaurant! They will cook it for you on the spot, so it's a great place for fishing enthusiasts. The restaurant is small and has counter seats, so you can drop in by yourself. The restaurant is open from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and has a wide selection of wine and beer, so you can enjoy a drink at your leisure while feeling the nature of Hachijojima. Breakfast is also served on weekends, so if you get up early, be sure to stop by. In addition, there is a log cabin accommodation on the premises, so you can relax at night while looking at the starry sky. It's also a great base for sightseeing! (Original) イタリアン酒場「POSEIDON」は、八丈島にあるゆったりした雰囲気のお店で、地元の人にも観光客にも人気があります。夜はカジュアルなイタリアンが楽しめて、パスタやピザ、牛肉のステーキなんかが人気メニューです。何が面白いかというと、自分で釣った魚をお店に持ち込むことができるんですよ！それをその場で調理してもらえるから、釣り好きにはたまらない場所ですね。 お店はこじんまりとしていて、カウンター席もあるので、1人でもふらっと立ち寄れます。夜の営業は18時から21時30分までで、ワインやビールも豊富なので、八丈島の自然を感じながらゆっくりお酒を楽しめるのが魅力です。朝食も週末にやっているので、早起きしたらぜひ寄ってみてください。 さらに、ログハウスの宿泊施設も併設されていて、夜は星空を見ながらリラックスできるという贅沢さ。観光の拠点にもぴったりです！

(Translated by Google) I wanted to eat Italian food so I made a reservation. On Hachijojima, some of the restaurants are quiet but the portions are large, so I was afraid to order food. I'm glad they served it in just the right amount, in a good way. Hachijojima lemon sour and lemon beer were great. The boy helping me looks like Nobita and is very cute. The pizza is very chewy, but I wonder if that's what makes it special? It wasn't very Italian-like, but it was delicious 😊 (Original) イタリアンが食べたくて予約して行きました。 八丈島だと飲食店は黙ってても量が多い方があるので恐る恐るフードを注文しましたが 良い意味でちょうど良いツマミの量で出してくれて良かったです。 八丈島レモンサワーとレモンビール最高でした。 お手伝いしてる男の子ものび太っぽくてとても可愛い。 ピザはとってもモチモチなんですがそれが特徴なのかな？ あんまりイタリアンっぽくは無かったのですが美味しく頂きました😊

(Translated by Google) I stayed here for two days and one night in late July 2025. I went there on a round trip flight, which only runs three times a day. The flight was said to be about an hour, but it arrived in no time. *It seemed far away on the map. *The boat ride takes 5-6 hours. A rental car is a must. Summer is a busy season, so I made a reservation at the last minute, and I was finally able to rent a car from the sixth rental car company. The accommodation is a log house that just opened in 2023, with a nice wood scent, and the toilet and kitchen were brand new and very clean. There is air conditioning, so you can stay comfortably. You can see the stars very beautifully. The location is great during the day. The bedding was clean and I slept soundly. Since it is a bed-only accommodation, it is better to find and make a reservation for restaurants in advance. *Unfortunately, the adjacent restaurant was closed 😭 I definitely want to go next time. We stayed at an accommodation by the sea for three people. For 3 or more people, bedding is 2,200 yen per person. If you are a group of close friends, I think you can go up to 4 people. 3 people was just right. As for sightseeing, We didn't climb Hachijo Fuji, but we could drive to Fureai Ranch, which is on the way, in about 15 minutes. The weather was good, so the location was great. The cows were grazing and they were very cute. ※You can go around Hachijo Island in just under 2 hours, so you can go to wherever you want right away. At Sokodo Beach, the seawater is clean and you can see the bottom. It's not a very paved beach, but there are some rugged areas where you can feel the nature. We recommend wearing sneakers to go into the sea. You can enter Uramigataki Onsen for free, which is great. ※Must check the entry times. It's a mixed bath and you have to wear a swimsuit. It's hard to find, like in a place like this! Sueyoshi Onsen Miharashi no Yu The location is excellent. The water felt hot. There is no air conditioning, just a fan. It's better to check the opening hours of places you want to go to, supermarkets, and restaurants on Hachijojima in advance and plan your schedule accordingly. 1 night and 2 days wasn't enough. I don't get to go often, but I'd like to go again. I recommend Seven Taxi. They're open until 3am. (Original) 2025年7月後半、1泊2日で利用させて頂きました。 1日3本？しかない飛行機の往復で行きました。 フライトは1時間程との表示でしたが、あっという間に着きます。※地図上だと遠いイメージでした。 ※船は5-6時間かかるそうです。 レンタカーは必須。夏は繁忙期らしく予約するのが直近だった事もあり、レンタカー会社6個目でやっと借りる事が出来ました。 宿は2023年にオープンしたばかりのログハウスで、木の香りが良く、トイレもキッチンも真新しく、とても綺麗でした。エアコンもあり快適に過ごせます。 星がとても綺麗にみれます。 昼間はロケーション最高です。 寝具も清潔でぐっすり寝れました。 素泊りなので、事前に飲食店探す、予約しといた方がいいです。 ※隣接する飲食店は残念ながらお休みでした😭 次は絶対行きたい。 海側の宿で3名で利用させて頂きました。 3名以上は1名に付き寝具➕2,200円です。 仲良いメンバー利用なら4名まで行けると思います。3人で丁度いい感じでした。 観光に関しては、 八丈富士、登りませんでしたが途中にある、 ふれあい牧場までは車で15分位で行けます。 天気が良かった事もあり、ロケーション最高でした。牛が放牧されていて、とても可愛いかったです。 ※八丈島は1周2時間弱で回れる位、行きたい場所に直ぐ行けます。 底土海水浴場、海水が綺麗で底が見えます。 めっちゃ舗装されている海岸ではなく、ゴツゴツした箇所もあり自然を感じられます。 海に入れるスニーカーみたいなの推奨です。 裏見ヶ滝温泉、無料で入れて最高です。 ※入れる時間確認必須。混浴で水着着用。 こんな所に⁉️みたいな感じで見つけずらいです。 末吉温泉みはらしの湯 ロケーション抜群です。お湯は熱く感じました。エアコンはなく、扇風機が回ってます。 八丈島内の、行きたい場所、スーパー、飲食店の営業時間は事前に確認してある程度スケジュール組んだ方が楽しめると思います。 1泊2日では足りませんでした。 中々行けませんが、またリベンジしたいと思ってます。 タクシーは、セブンタクシーがお勧めです。 夜中3時まで営業してるそうです。

(Translated by Google) I went there for dinner and it was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and had a great atmosphere. Everything was delicious, but I especially loved the fried local fish with tartar sauce! The drinks were also great. I'll definitely go back if I come to Hachijojima again. (Original) ディナーにお邪魔しましたが、めっちゃ美味しいし、お手頃価格だし、雰囲気いいし、サイコーでした。全部美味しかったけど、地魚のフライがタルタルソースが特に気に入りました！！飲み物も美味かった。また八丈島に来たら絶対行きます。

(Translated by Google) I stayed in a mountain-facing log cabin for three days and two nights. My first impression was that the area around the building and the entire property was overgrown with weeds, so much so that it was difficult to see the curbstones and the protruding water valve covers. The log cabin was generally well-cleaned, but I did have two concerns. 1. There was severe red mold and limescale in the shower stall. 2. There was a stain on the bedsheets. It was around the waist, so even though they had been washed, it didn't bother me. Unrelated to cleaning, but I have two issues related to insect control. 1. There was a gap, probably because the window was poorly fitted, and there were signs that insects and geckos were getting in through it. 2. I was told that if ants were a concern, they could be killed with an ant spray, but I think the hotel should take measures that they can do first. I think that even just cutting the weeds on the property would make a difference in how insects thrive. If you can identify where the ants are coming from, you can take measures such as spreading repellent, so I would like you to consider this. The log cabin rental was equipped with the bare minimum of amenities and seemed reasonably priced. (By the way, I wonder if bath towels were charged at one per person for a three-day, two-night stay? I wonder if I would have received one if I had ordered one separately. I wanted to inquire but unfortunately the timing was not right, but it was something I was curious about.) (Original) 2泊3日で山側のログハウスを利用。 第一印象は建物周り、敷地内全体的に雑草が生い茂っており縁石や飛び出てる水道弁？の蓋がわかりにくいぐらいには生えていた。 ログハウス内は概ね清掃が行き届いていたが気になる点が二点。 ①シャワー室の赤カビ、水垢が酷かった。 ②ベッドのシーツにシミが残っていた。場所も腰部付近になるため、洗濯されていようが良い気はしなかった。 清掃とは関係ないが虫対策、関連で二点。 ①窓の建て付けが悪いのか隙間ができており、そこから虫やらヤモリやらが侵入している形跡があった。 ②蟻が湧くから気になるなら蟻ジェットで倒してほしいとのことだが、まずはホテル側から出来る対策を行うべきなのではないだろうか。 敷地内の雑草を刈るだけでも虫の湧き方は違うと思う。蟻の発生場所等が分かれば忌避剤を撒く等の対策ができるから検討していただきたい。 一棟貸しのログハウスは必要最低限の設備が揃っており、値段に関しては妥当な物だと思われる。 （ちなみにバスタオルは2泊3日で1人一枚の計算なのだろうか？別で頼んだら頂くことが出来たのだろうか。問い合わせようにもタイミングが悪く聞けていなかったが、気になる部分ではあった。）

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious. The seasoning is very careful. I don't like strongly flavored food, so this dish really brings out the quality of the ingredients. The service and staff were both very friendly and wonderful. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 料理がとても美味しい。 味付けがとても丁寧です 味が濃い料理が苦手なので 素材の良さをとても生かした 料理です。 サービスも店員の方も感じが良くて最高でした。 ごちそうさまでした。

We drank our coffee on 2 cozy chairs in front of the coffee stand. Simple plasures. Friendly owner & good service too.

(Original) Blublue Stand Cafeでは、夏の楽しみとしてかき氷とタコスが特におすすめです。八丈島の暑い日差しの下で、フワフワのかき氷を食べると、涼しさと美味しさを同時に感じられます。いろいろな味のバリエーションがあり、どれも島の雰囲気にぴったりです。 さらに、タコスもこのカフェの人気メニューの一つです。新鮮な具材をたっぷり使ったタコスは、ボリュームがありつつもヘルシーで、軽食としてちょうどいい感じです。八丈島の新鮮な食材を活かしたタコスは、旅行中にぜひ試してみたい一品です。 夏のBlublue Stand Cafeでは、かき氷でクールダウンし、タコスでエネルギーをチャージするのが最高の組み合わせです。八丈島に行くなら、ぜひ立ち寄ってみてください。

Good vibes, tasty frappes, friendly chap, chill music :)

(Translated by Google) I ordered taco rice and donuts. The taste of taco rice is the best! ! It contains lentils, which is unusual. The rice was yellow. Why is it yellow? Curry? Saffron? I don't really know, but it's delicious! ! (Original) タコライスとドーナツ頼みました タコライスの味最高〜！！ レンズ豆が入ってて、珍しいなーと。 ご飯は黄色でした。なんで黄色なの?カレー?サフラン?よくわかんないけど、美味しい！！

(Translated by Google) I heard it was a limited edition, so I went to buy some. The coffee was delicious and stylish. They also sell cute donuts. (Original) 限定だと聞いて買いに行きました〜 コーヒー美味しくておしゃれだった 可愛いドーナツも売ってます

(Translated by Google) This is a sky blue kitchen car that will make you feel happy. We had delicious coffee and donuts. It was carefully brewed. (Original) 幸せな気持ちになる空色のキッチンカーです。 美味しいコーヒーとドーナツをいただきました。 丁寧に淹れていただきました。

(Translated by Google) The frappe was already melted so it didn't feel frozen, but it was delicious♪ The cafe latte was sweet, so if you don't want it sweet, you might want to let us know in advance. (Original) フラッペは既に溶けててフローズン感はなかったけど美味しかった♪ カフェラテが甘かったので、甘くしたくない人は事前にお伝えした方がいいかも？

The curry udon was very good as our first meal upon arrival. Mochi mochi noodle

Delicious Ashitaba noodles at a great price. Loved the tempura. Lots of locals dining here. Floor seating and table seating. Very helpful staff who helped us choose our meal

Meidai Ikkyuuan is a restaurant in Hachijo Island specialized in ashitaba soba and ashitaba udon. "Ashitaba" means "Tomorrow's Leaf" and is a plant typically found in Hachijo Island, very rich in Vitamin B. At the souvenir shops, you will find all things "ashitaba", but this restaurant is the chance to eat a fresh, homemade ashitaba soba - which you won't find so easily anywhere else. I ordered the tonkatsu soba just to make sure I would get full. And yes, I did!

Ashitaba udon with the shrimp tempura was so good!

Amazing katsu curry udon, nothing else to say.

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established udon restaurant in the center of Hachijojima. They don't take reservations, so it's best to call ahead before going. Their main dish is angelica udon, but they also serve rice bowls and tempura. The udon and tempura topped with tonkatsu were both delicious. (Original) 八丈島の中心街にある老舗のうどん店。予約はやっていなかったので事前に連絡してから行ったほうが良いです。明日葉うどんがメインですが、丼物や天ぷらもあります。トンカツが乗ってるうどんや天ぷらも美味しかったです。
