I climbed with my touring bike definitely only recommend that if you have decent low gear and general fitness though you could walk it up with the bike I suppose. Benefit of going up with bike is that you can go up, then down later via different route for variety. Nothing overly special about this farm though you can get pretty close to the cows and calfs if lucky. Decent sights of the area in good weather. I also used this as a visit spot to spend bit of time waiting for the clouds to clear (if you time well clouds can disappear during afternoon) I gave it 4 stars mainly because this is the last stop for toilet or drinks before the hike and crater loop so I assume most will get here on the way up.

nice view, street, airport and sea!

Great view, worth the trip! It seems that during the summer season they sell jersey milk's icecream.

Visited here by bike. It was so hard. Anyway you can see and touch some cows. You can eat very tasty ice cream but summer only. I couldn't eat because it's early spring.

Would be a lovely place with a fabulous view. But staff there is very inpolite. Just go there to have a look.

Really unique place to visit as it is a ranch halfway up a volcanic mountain. Awesone views & we were able to feed the cows. It was July but unfortunately they were not selling their Jersey ice cream and that was a bummer.

A place to visit before or after climbing Mt. Hachijo-Fuji. Nice for resting and taking cow pictures. You can also buy soft cream.

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。

It’s a nice place to spend some time relaxing. Parking is available. Public WC and cafes are located close to this spot.

Wild and quiet during the day, with stunning sunset at dusk.

Stone like Lava formation is a worth experiencing here in this island. A bit cliffs are there and very much windy. Overall the view is just mesmerizing.

The now stone-like lava plateau is one of the rarer sights I've seen. What power! My personal favorite place on this island.

Beautiful view warm wind.

Sunset point!

(Translated by Google) I wanted to see the sunset, so I searched for this beach on the west side of the island and found it. The ground is made of lava rock, so it's quite difficult to walk on. I recommend sneakers or above. It's great because you can see an incredibly beautiful sunset. Hachijo Kojima is offshore, Hachijo Fuji is on land, and the occasional passing ferry all shines in the sunset. I had a truly luxurious time. If I have the opportunity to visit Hachijojima again, I'd definitely like to see the sunset here again. (Original) 夕日を見たくて、島の西側で探してこの海岸へ。 足元は溶岩石なのでかなり歩きづらい。 スニーカー以上をおすすめ。 夕日はめちゃくちゃ綺麗に見ることができるので良い。 沖に八丈小島、地上に八丈富士、たまに通るフェリーも夕日に映える。 とても贅沢な時間を過ごさせてもらった。 また八丈島に来る機会があれば是非再度ここで夕日を見たい。

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。

Uramigataki Falls on Hachijojima is an absolute hidden gem and a truly unique experience. The path leading to the falls is surrounded by incredibly lush, green nature, making the short walk feel like an immersive journey into a tropical paradise. What makes this waterfall so special is the ability to actually walk behind it, offering a perspective you rarely find. The sound of the falling water is incredibly relaxing and instantly makes you feel peaceful. It's a beautiful spot that feels untouched, offering a perfect escape from the everyday hustle. I highly recommend taking your time to soak in the atmosphere. This experience truly highlights the raw nature of Hachijojima, providing a refreshing break and an unforgettable memory. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking to truly connect with the island's natural wonders and feel completely refreshed.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, when I visited, the water was only trickling down, so I wasn't able to see the waterfall. However, I could somehow feel the atmosphere, and I was able to refresh myself by strolling along the beautiful promenade. (Original) 私が訪問した時は残念ながら水がチョロチョロしか垂れていなく、滝を見る事は叶いませんでした。 しかし、何となく雰囲気は伝わったし、綺麗な遊歩道を散策しリフレッシュはできました。

(Translated by Google) There are some slight ups and downs, so you'll need comfortable shoes. The area behind the waterfall will be slightly wet, so please refrain from wearing your best clothes. I wonder if there would be more water on a rainy day? It wasn't as much water as I expected. (Original) ちょっとしたアップダウンがあるので歩きやすい靴か必要だと思います。 滝の裏は軽く濡れるので一張羅はお控えください。 雨の日ならもう少し水量が多いのでしょうか？ 思ったほどの水量ではなかったです。

(Translated by Google) It's nice to be able to go quickly. You can see the waterfall and come back in less than 20 minutes. The good thing about this place is that you can go there easily even with sandals. I think it's best not to have too high expectations for the waterfall. It seems like sometimes the water is dry... I feel like I'm lucky if I get to see it. I think it would be more efficient to visit as a set with the hot spring next door ( ◠‿◠ ) (Original) サクッと行けて良いです。 20分もあれば、滝を見て帰ってくることが出来ます。 サンダルでも行ける場所なので、本当に気軽に行くことが出来るのがいいところ。 滝には、あまり期待をしない方がいいと思います。お水が枯れている時もあるみたいなので‥ 見れたらラッキーくらいの軽い気持ちで。 お隣にある温泉とセットで訪れるのが効率よくていいと思います( ◠‿◠ )

(Translated by Google) A 30-minute round trip will be enough to enjoy the hike. Please note that the dirt stairs can be slippery, so shoes are recommended. (Original) 往復30分あれば満喫できるでしょう。土の階段は滑りやすいので靴を推奨します。

(Translated by Google) Although the entrance is clearly marked, When you step inside, the lush plants and trees will transport you to another dimension of nature, giving you the illusion that you have wandered into a subtropical forest. After walking for less than 10 minutes, you will see Uramigataki Falls. I think this is a rare waterfall among waterfalls where you can walk through the backside of the waterfall while feeling the pleasant coolness of the water spray. When passing through, you will be splashed with water, so it is best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet or a vinyl raincoat. After passing the waterfall, you can see ``Heart Rock'', a heart-shaped rock that fell from the mountain on a day of heavy rain. Also, it seems that if you go down the other side of the waterfall entrance, you will find Uramigataki Onsen. It's a good place. (Original) 入口は明示されているのですが、 一歩踏み入ると亜熱帯植物の森に迷い込んだと錯覚するくらい生茂った植物や木々が大自然と言う異次元に誘ってくれます。 10分弱歩くと裏見ヶ滝が見えてきます。 水飛沫が当たり心地良い涼しさを感じつつ、滝の裏側を通り抜けることが出来る滝の中でも珍しい滝と言えると思います。 通り抜ける際、結構水飛沫をあびるので濡れてもいい服装又はビニールカッパがあれば最適です。 滝を通過後2022大雨の日に山から落ちてきたハート型の岩『ハート岩』が見れます。 また、滝入口の向え側を下ると裏見ヶ滝温泉だそうです。 良い処ですよね。

(Translated by Google) It's a jungle. Quite a jungle. The walkway is well maintained, but the scenery is like a jungle you see in a theme park. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the waterfall, but it's a moderate walking course. If you come to Hachijojima, it's a must-visit. (Original) ジャングルです。かなりジャングルです。歩道は整備されてますが、光景はテーマパークでみたジャングルの様です。滝まで10分程度歩きますが、適度なウォーキングコースです。八丈島に来たら訪問必須です。

(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☺️

It was very windy there when I visited the Island last year after my 2nd attempt because the Airplane could not land due to strong winds. Clean-fresh air, good people, enjoyable stay. Was so busy that I forgot to mention it here 😜, in 3 days I’ll be visiting Tokyo Izu Oshima Island by Speed-Boat this time. 👍♥️

Very unique experience, would recommend a visit. 45 minute flight from Haneda Airport. Snorkeling is a must do! Not very English friendly as it is more rural but we got through our trip with google translate. Lodging was booked through hotels.com & rental car was arranged at airport. People are very friendly. Was a tad expensive for the few days we were there.

I am here to see this Island as one of my favourite creators @Rachitroo visited this island a few days ago.

Easiest way to get around is by car, so if you can I'd highly suggest renting a car. If driving is not an option rental bicycle is another great alternative. Coming by ferry is quite the experience, perfect for the weekend (a few days) trip. Some restaurants might not have an English menu so might be worth checking out online before-hand if you speak 0 Japanese. Overall, lovely people, great harmonious places and awesome hot springs!

Great island off of Philippine Sea. The sceneries are breathtaking. So, relaxing. People are so friendly. Delicious and always fresh foods. The best sunrise and sunset I've ever seen in my life.

Amazing place , sub-tropical climate

Paradise on Earth. Lots to offer - picturesque views, delicious cuisine, hiking trails, great onsens, gorgeous waterfalls, friendly turtles and fun locals. 💙🏝

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

Worth a quick stop to enjoy the view of Hachijo-kojima island and Hachijo Fuji. There's a nearby toilet in the parking area, just be careful when passing the road to the sightseeing point.

Amazing view overlooking the bridge of Hachijo round road and Hachijo-kojima island. I dropped off for a moment before going to the airport but the view is great and definetely worth visiting especially for sunset. People say there is a parking lot, however, I could not find it and parked on the street. Public restroom is neaby.

Becareful of the incomming traffic. There is a very nice view during sunset.

Worth stopping at sunset if your driving through

Marvelous sight. Definitely worth a stop. There is a newly opened WC near the parking spot.

it's easier to up there with car or walking with a bike is quite scary and difficult

It's on the side of the road, but provides amazing sunset views.

Lot of turtles and fishes to see ! It sa good place for snorkeling

Nice for light snorkeling. It was part of a road trip with my friends, and made some nice memories.

The best natural swimming pool I've experienced

Cool

(Translated by Google) There are also tide pools and swimming pools in the rocky sea. Tide pools are artificially separated from the sea, and there is a small hole in the pool, and when the waves are high, the waves can get in a little beyond the partition. Even when there are whitecaps, tide pools are calm and safe with no waves. I thought it was an artificially divided sea, but when I entered it I was surprised. Perhaps because it is connected to the ocean and difficult for large fish to enter, it is like a paradise for small fish, and there are many brightly colored small fish. Moreover, the transparency is very high. Unlike the bottom soil, there are no sea turtles or large fish, but there are far more small fish than in the bottom soil. It's so beautiful. Since we visited at the end of September, the pool had no water. Even though it was Saturday, the tide pool was almost reserved, the water wasn't cold, and the showers and changing rooms were available for private use, which was great. (Original) 岩場の海で、タイドプール、プールもあります。タイドプールは、人工的に海と仕切られており、少し穴があるのと、波が高いときは仕切りを超えて少し波が入ります。白波がたっているときでも、タイドプールは穏やかで波がなく安全です。 人工的に仕切られた海なんてと思っていたのですが、入ってみれば驚きです。海と繋がっていて大きな魚は入りにくいせいか、小魚にとっては楽園のようで、色鮮やかな小魚がたくさんいます。しかも透明度がとても高いです。底土のようにウミガメや大きな魚はいないのですが、小魚については底土よりずっと多いです。とっても美しいです。 9月末に訪問したので、プールは水がありませんでした。土曜日なのにタイドプールはほぼ貸し切り状態で、水も冷たくなくて、シャワーや更衣室も貸し切り状態で使えて、最高でした。

(Translated by Google) ・Great location ・The pool is constantly pumped with seawater, so it's never slimy. It's also well-cleaned. ・Enjoy both the beach and the pool. ・Parking, showers, and more are all free ✩.*˚ ・The water pressure in the showers is great! A must-visit when you visit Hachijojima (Original) ・最高のロケーション ・常時海水をポンプで汲んでいるため、プールにヌメりなし。清掃もよくされている ・磯遊びとプール両方で満足できる ・駐車料、シャワー等全部無料✩.*˚ ・備え付けのシャワーの水圧がよい！ 八丈島にいったら必ず行きたい

(Translated by Google) Visited in August 2024. There is a pool filled with seawater, a rocky beach, and a tidal seawater pool. There are fresh water showers, changing rooms and toilets. The seawater pool is 1.2m deep and is made of concrete, so you don't have to worry about waves or jellyfish. Marine shoes are not allowed, so you will need to take them off. Due to high waves at the beach, swimming is prohibited on that day. Even in that state, the seawater pool in the tidal pool is extremely calm. Transparency allows you to observe brightly colored fish just by bringing your face close to the sea surface. You'll regret it if you don't bring a snorkel. The water temperature is also quite high as it is heated by the sun. It's a rocky area, so it's a good idea to wear marine shoes, and the water can get deep quickly if you're not careful, so keep an eye on children. Parking is free, but please note that spaces are limited. The road is quite narrow along the way, and it is unclear where you can park if it is full. Of course there are no shops, but there are no vending machines in sight, so you will need to prepare your food and drinks in advance. (Original) 2024.８月に訪問。 海水を引き込んだプールと岩場の海水浴場、潮溜まりの海水プールがある。 真水のシャワーと更衣室とトイレはある。 海水のプールは深いところで水深1.2m、コンクリート製のプールなんで波やクラゲの心配は要らない。 マリンシューズは不可なので脱ぐ必要有り。 海水浴場は波が高くて当日は遊泳禁止。 その状態でも潮溜まりの海水プールは極めて穏やか。 海面に顔を近づけるだけで色鮮やかな魚を観察可能な透明度。 シュノーケル持参しないと後悔するレベル。 水温も日に熱せられかなり高い。 岩場なのでマリンシューズはあった方が良い、水深も油断すると直ぐに深くなるから子供から目をはなさいこと。 駐車場は無料だが、スペースは限られているので要注意。 道中も道幅はかなりせまく、満車の場合、どこに停められるか不明。 売店は勿論だが自販機すら見当たらないので、食事や飲み物は事前に用意する必要がある。

I'd say what an underestimated viewing platform! Great view opens up and don't forget to travel down the path for another platform made from wood!

Good View. Parking and Wash Room Available

(Translated by Google) January 28, 2025 You can enjoy beautiful views from anywhere on Hachijojima, but there are eight must-see viewing spots. One of them is the Nago Observatory. It is a spectacular spot where you can see the waterfall flowing between the cliffs on the right and the vast Pacific Ocean on the left. However, the floor of the dressing table is rotten, so you need to be careful ⚠️. (Original) 2025年1月28日 どこからでも美しい景色を楽しめる八丈島ですが、必見の展望スポットが8つあります。 そのうちの1つが、名古の展望台です。 右側に崖の間を流れる滝、左側に広大な太平洋を望める絶景スポットです。 但し、みはらし台は床が腐っているので注意⚠️が必要です。

(Translated by Google) Hachijojima was the base for the Kaiten human torpedo, and there is a stone monument engraved with a poem by Shintaro Abe, the father of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, entitled "Remembering the Black Current of the Pacific Ocean." The observation deck has a great view, but the scars of the war remain. (Original) 八丈島には人間魚雷回天の基地があったことから、安倍晋三元首相の父親 晋太郎氏の詩「太平洋の黒潮に偲ぶ」が刻まれた石碑があります。見晴らしがいい展望台ですが、戦争の傷跡も残っています。

(Translated by Google) This place is also famous for viewing the harvest moon. However, the moon was only 3.7 days old on this day, making it difficult to enjoy the view. It's also said that if the weather is good, it's possible to see Aogashima, but we arrived at 5:50 PM. As you can see, there was no view of the horizon. So... Nago Observation Deck, about 100 meters further back from here, shows a temporary closure on the map. There's a rope strung across the path leading to the observation deck. Perhaps it's a landslide or something? It's dangerous, so we turn back. The rest house is also locked and inaccessible. I peered inside, but it was empty, with only a table. They probably don't serve food or drinks there anymore. As I was heading back to my car, I happened to look around and noticed a stone monument. It was a memorial to the 16th Shin'yo Special Attack Unit. Shin'yo was a suicide weapon developed by the Imperial Japanese Navy at the end of the Pacific War. The boats were made of plywood, approximately 5m long and 1.7m wide, and were equipped with a 250kg bomb mounted on the bow, designed to crash into enemy ships. At the bottom of this stone monument is a plaque detailing the history of the 16th Shin'yo Special Attack Unit, and at the top is a stone slab engraved with the calligraphy of politician Abe Shintaro. Why is Abe Shintaro at this memorial for the kamikaze units? After researching, I found out that Abe joined the navy as a reserve student while attending Tokyo Imperial University. He was assigned to the kamikaze units, but the war ended before they could be deployed. He then became a politician who supported the turbulent postwar era. I feel like I've gotten a glimpse into the core of his political philosophy; my hands are in peace. September 3, 2025 (Original) ここは名月鑑賞の場としても有名です。しかしこの日の月齢は3.7、とても鑑賞には堪えません。また天気が良ければ青ヶ島も展望できる（可能性のある）場所とされますが、現着が17:50。ご覧の有様で水平線の眺望は皆無でした。ということで……… ここから100ｍくらい奥にある「名古の見晴らし台」ですが、マップでは臨時休業になっていました。見晴らし台に向かう通路にはロープが張ってあります。崖崩れかなんかでしょうか。危ないので引き返します。またレストハウスも鍵がかかっていて立ち入り不能。内部を覗き込みましたが、テーブルがあるのみでがらんとしていています。おそらく現在は飲食の提供はされていないのでしょう。 車に戻ろうとふと見渡すと周囲には石碑がひとつ。「第16震洋特別攻撃隊」の慰霊碑でした。震洋とは太平洋戦争末期、旧日本海軍が開発した特攻兵器です。全長約5ｍ、幅約1.7ｍの「ベニヤ」製のボートで船首に250㎏爆弾を搭載し敵艦に突入するというシロモノでした。 この石碑ですが下部に第16震洋特別攻撃隊の経緯を記した銘板が、上部には政治家・安倍晋太郎氏の揮毫が刻まれた石板が据えられています。何で安倍晋太郎氏が特攻隊の慰霊碑に？ 調べると安倍氏、東京帝国大学在学中に予備学生で海軍に入隊されていたのです。そして特攻隊に配属されましたが出撃前に終戦。その後動乱の戦後を支える政治家になられたのでした。 氏の政治理念の根底を垣間見た気がします、合掌です。 2025.9.3

(Translated by Google) It's a great spot with a great view. You can see the whole of Shioma Coast. It's apparently a popular surfing spot, but I didn't see any surfers. (Original) 眺めのいい場所です。汐間海岸が一望できます。サーフィンポイントらしいですが、サーファーは見えませんでした。

(Translated by Google) The view from the Nago Observatory was more spectacular than anywhere else on Hachijojima. 💦 Perhaps the view from Hachijojima Fuji on a clear day is even more spectacular... (Original) 名古の展望台、八丈島のどこよりも絶景でした💦 もしかすると快晴の八丈島富士の方が絶景かもしれませんが...

Hiked the Mitsune (west) side. So many stairs, but a great view at the top! English signage is lacking.

Best hiking area

(Translated by Google) It's awesome! There are mysterious creatures living there and you can stay there forever. The cave is scary, but it's worth seeing. (Original) 最高です！ 不思議な生物も生息していて、ずっといれる。 洞窟も怖いけど見る価値あり。

(Translated by Google) It's no exaggeration to say that this is a truly hidden gem. This area is prone to landslides, which often result in road closures, so it was truly miraculous that we were able to visit such an amazing place. *The photo was taken when we visited around May 2022. The hiking trail is not well maintained, so please watch your step. Along the way, there is a fork in the road that leads to Mt. Mihara, but it is overgrown with bushes and impossible to proceed. It was so dangerous that you could lose sight of the trail if you tried to go any further. To reach Mt. Mihara, you will need to return to the parking lot. We are saddened by the damage caused in various places by the typhoon that struck on October 9, 2025. There is a risk that Karataki Falls may have collapsed again. In the event of a typhoon or heavy rain, we recommend checking the site before heading there. (Original) まさに秘境と言っても過言ではない場所。 この場所は崩落も多く、そのたびに通行止めになるため、こんなにも素晴らしい場所へ行けたのはまさに奇跡に近かったと言えます。 ※写真は2022年5月頃に訪れた際のものです。 登山道もあまり手入れがされていないため、足元に注意してください。途中、三原山へ行ける分岐があるところは藪になっており進めません。無理に行こうとすると道を見失うくらい危険な状態でした。 三原山へ行くには一旦駐車場あたりまで戻る必要があります。 2025年10月9日に襲った台風の影響で、様々な場所で被害が発生しており心を痛めております。 唐滝も再度崩落している恐れがあります。 台風や大雨の際は、現場へ行く前にチェックすることをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) I visited during Golden Week in 2024. The location of the parking lot is a bit confusing, it's on the right side of the road leading to the waterfall. Be careful not to park in the wrong place by mistake. The waterfall was located further back than I expected, and the road leading up to it was about to collapse due to a landslide, so it was in a very dangerous situation, but it was worth the effort to see it. The height of the waterfall was so high that I couldn't take a picture of it all with my smartphone, and the amount of water was so abundant that I was fascinated by it for a while. It's a dangerous path even for adults, so I can't recommend it to everyone, but if you can, it's definitely a waterfall you should go see. (Original) 2024年のゴールデンウィークに訪れました。 駐車場の位置がちょっと分かりにくくて、滝に通じる道の右側にあります。 間違って違う場所に停めないよう注意です。 滝は思ったより奥まった場所にあって、かつそこまでの道が土砂崩れで崩壊しかかっていたので、かなり危なっかしい状態でしたが、それを押してでも見に行く価値のある滝でした。 スマホでは全部を写しきれないほど滝の落差があって、水の量も豊富で、しばらく見とれていました。 大人でも危ない道のりなので、誰にでもお勧めできる訳ではないですが、行けるならぜひ見に行きたい滝です。

(Translated by Google) It was a light hike, but the sense of freedom and exhilaration when we reached the waterfall made me glad that we went. It was a shame that the water level was so low. (Original) 軽めの登山であったが、滝に着いた時の開放感・爽快感が見に行って良かったと思った。水量が少なかったのが残念です。

(Translated by Google) I gave up just before my goal😭 In front of the final boss, the path ran out, so I had to cross a stone and climb a rusty ladder, which broke my heart. Want to climb that giant rock? Is this the official route? Is this a place visited by trekking experts? At the time of the last information board, I thought I would be able to reach the destination in just a little while after getting radio waves and confirming my location. I regret it. (Original) 目標寸前でで諦めました😭 ラスボス前で道が無くなり石を渡って小川を横断してからの錆びたハシゴを登った所で心が折れました。 あの巨石を登れと？正規ルートはここ？ コレはトレッキングの達人が訪れる場所なのですか？ 最後の案内板時点では電波が入り位置確認出来た時点であとちょっとで達成出来ると思ったのですが・・・ 無念です。

(Translated by Google) There are people I like and people I don't like. It's all mountain climbing, so be sure to prepare well even up to the waterfall. I went with short sleeves and shorts so my legs were covered. The waterfalls are spectacular, so we recommend that you dress appropriately and be prepared. (Original) 好きな人、無理な人がいます。 完全に登山なので、滝まででもしっかり準備していきましょう。 半袖半ズボンで行って足が被れました。 滝は素晴らしいものですので、しっかりした格好や準備で行く事をおすすめします。

(Translated by Google) About 1 and a half hours from the parking lot The mountain road is a bit bad, but I don't think it will be a problem. In the end, I don't know if I got there. No matter what I look at, I can't quite figure out the exact location and shape of the waterfall. Please note that there are some places where there is no signal. Rakuten's radio waves were non-existent beyond the sulfur marsh. If you are going, please be careful about your carrier. (Original) 駐車場からは1時間半程 山道がちょっと悪いが問題ないと思う 結局、たどり着けたのかは分からない。 どれを調べても滝の正確な場所と形が良く分からない 所々電波が無い所があるのでご注意を 楽天の電波は硫黄沼より先は皆無でした。 行かれる方はキャリアにもご注意を

Beautiful color and a nice extra for the hike to karataki!

(Translated by Google) The route along the way was nice and atmospheric, but in bad weather it's just a swamp. disappointing. However, if the weather is not good on the Mt. Mihara side, it might be better to feel like you are in an unexplored region. Personally, I think the Hachijo Fuji side is more enjoyable on sunny days. (Original) 途中経路は雰囲気あってよかったですが荒天だとただの沼ですね。残念。 ただ三原山側は天気イマイチの方が秘境に来た感じがあって良いかもしれません。八丈富士側は晴れの方が個人的には楽しめると思います。

(Translated by Google) I thought it passed, but I couldn't figure it out. I could see a river that looked like that color. Maybe the rusty stairs I saw on the way are the correct answer? (Original) 通過した筈なのですが分かりませんでした。 それっぽい色の川は見えてはいました。 もしかして途中で見た錆びれた階段らしきものが正解なのですか？

(Translated by Google) It is located on the south side of Mt. Mihara and requires a 2-30 minute climb. When I visited, the roads were muddy and difficult to walk. You will need equipment for hiking such as trekking shoes. If you climb up hard enough, you will find a very beautiful swamp. The light blue water was very beautiful. There was no smell of sulfur. There was a space with a beautiful view. The fish seemed to be living there as well, and they seemed to be climbing up to the surface of the water and diving repeatedly. It's a relatively short hike for a mountain on Hachijojima, but the road isn't that well-maintained and it's hard to get cell phone reception, so it feels a bit dangerous. If you are traveling with small children, you should be especially careful. (Original) 三原山の南側に位置していて、2-30分の登山が必要になります。 わたしが訪問したときは、道がぬかるんでいて中々歩きづらかったです。トレッキングシューズ等山歩き用の装備が必要と思います。 頑張って登るととてもきれいな沼があります。 水色の水はとても美しかったです。硫黄の匂いなどは無かったです。きれいな光景が広がる空間がありました。 魚も住み着いているようで時折水面に登ってきては潜るを繰り返している様子でしたのした。 八丈島の山上りにしては比較的登る時間短いですが、そこまで整備された道でもないし、携帯の電波が入りづらい場所のため、少し危ないところにあるかなという印象です。小さいお子さんと一緒に行く場合は特に気をつけてあげたいところです。

(Translated by Google) It was extremely green. In January, the weather is sunny. It was hard to see from the road to Karataki, and I almost passed by it for a moment. Perfect for a break along the way. Although it was all green, it was strangely transparent and I could see the leaves and stones that had settled down. I thought it was a very interesting sight. There is no sulfur smell. It was a quiet place where only the sound of the wind and the swaying of the trees could be heard. (Original) ものすごく緑色でした。 １月、天候は晴れ。 唐滝に行く道からは見えづらく、一瞬通り過ぎてしまいそうでした。 途中の休憩には最適です。 緑一色ですが、不思議と透明度があり沈澱している葉や石が見えました。 とても面白い景色だと思いました。 硫黄の臭いはありません。 ただ静かに風と木の揺れる音だけが聞こえる場所でした。

(Translated by Google) It was quite a climb up from the parking lot. It was certainly beautiful, but I didn't feel much sulfur... (Original) 駐車場からそこそこ登りました。確かに綺麗でしたが、あまり硫黄感は感じられず…

(Translated by Google) Is this the population? I can't believe it's the population lol (Original) これ、人口なんだと、、、。 人口とは思えないw

It was very windy there when I visited the Island last year after my 2nd attempt because the Airplane could not land due to strong winds. Clean-fresh air, good people, enjoyable stay. Was so busy that I forgot to mention it here 😜, in 3 days I’ll be visiting Tokyo Izu Oshima Island by Speed-Boat this time. 👍♥️

Very unique experience, would recommend a visit. 45 minute flight from Haneda Airport. Snorkeling is a must do! Not very English friendly as it is more rural but we got through our trip with google translate. Lodging was booked through hotels.com & rental car was arranged at airport. People are very friendly. Was a tad expensive for the few days we were there.

I am here to see this Island as one of my favourite creators @Rachitroo visited this island a few days ago.

Easiest way to get around is by car, so if you can I'd highly suggest renting a car. If driving is not an option rental bicycle is another great alternative. Coming by ferry is quite the experience, perfect for the weekend (a few days) trip. Some restaurants might not have an English menu so might be worth checking out online before-hand if you speak 0 Japanese. Overall, lovely people, great harmonious places and awesome hot springs!

Great island off of Philippine Sea. The sceneries are breathtaking. So, relaxing. People are so friendly. Delicious and always fresh foods. The best sunrise and sunset I've ever seen in my life.

Amazing place , sub-tropical climate

Paradise on Earth. Lots to offer - picturesque views, delicious cuisine, hiking trails, great onsens, gorgeous waterfalls, friendly turtles and fun locals. 💙🏝

(Translated by Google) Go past a private house. There are no buildings, but you can tell it's there because there's a sign saying it's a historical site. If you go through the back, you will arrive at a graveyard. I refrained from taking pictures because there are other people besides the Ukita family. You can feel the feelings of mourning for Hideie, such as the stones of Okayama Castle, which is connected to the shrine. (Original) 民家の脇を通って行く。建物は何もないが史蹟の札がありそことわかる。奥を抜けて行くと墓所にたどり着く。浮田家以外もあるので撮影を遠慮。縁の岡山城の石など、秀家を悼む思いを感じる。

(Translated by Google) The former residence of Ukita Hideie, located in Oga-go, Hachijojima, is a quieter, more "hidden historical spot" than more well-known tourist destinations. Follow the small sign behind Nakata Shoten to reach the historic site, passing right by a private home. As one person put it, "There's just a monument and an explanation, no buildings." However, the site still retains vestiges of its past, including cycads, a pond, and a waterway. History buffs have expressed interest in the possibility of seeing stones from Okayama Castle on display, evoking a romantic connection to the local area. Also, since the site is privately owned, some visitors commented that "they will pass through a garden, but this is a consideration." Because there are fewer tourists, this is the perfect place for those who want to immerse themselves in a quiet atmosphere and appreciate the historical site. (Original) 八丈島の大賀郷にある宇喜多秀家の住居跡は、有名な観光地と比べると静かな、いわば“隠れた歴史スポット”。中田商店の裏手、小さな看板を目印に訪れると、個人宅のすぐ脇を通って史跡に辿り着く構造です。ある方の言葉を借りると「記念碑と解説があるだけで建物はありません」 が、跡地には蘇鉄や池・水路など、かつての面影を静かに残しています  。 歴史ファンからは、「岡山城の石が飾ってあるかも」と関心の声もあり、郷土とつながるロマンを感じさせます 。また、敷地が私有地であることから、訪問時には「庭を通るが配慮あり」との声も聞かれました  。観光客が少ない分、静かな雰囲気でじっくりと史跡と向き合いたい方にはぴったりの場所です。

(Translated by Google) It seems that part of it is the site of a private house, but it was just a short walk from the grave. (Original) 一部民家の敷地でもあるようですがお墓から歩いてすぐでした。

(Translated by Google) He was defeated in the Battle of Sekigahara, exiled from Toyotomi's Five Elders, and what kind of life he spent in this area...I am grateful to the people who have installed information boards that make it easy to understand. (Original) 関ケ原の戦いで敗れ、豊臣の五大老から流人となり、この地でどのような半生を過ごされたのか…分かりやすく案内板を設置してくださっている方に感謝です。

(Translated by Google) There are a lot of posts about people being hesitant to walk through other people's gardens, but that's not really the case. There is also a parking space. There is also a path leading to his grave. (Original) 他人の庭を通って遠慮してしまうとの投稿が多いけれど、それほどではないですよ。 駐車スペースもあります。 彼の墓まで通じる小道もあります。

(Translated by Google) The remains of Ukita Hideie's residence should be restored and made into a tourist attraction on Hachijojima. (Original) 宇喜多秀家の住居跡を復元して八丈島の観光スポットにするべきです。

(Translated by Google) I visited after Hideie Ukita's grave. Nowadays, there are historical sites in front of the eaves of private houses, so I was excited to see if it would be a good idea as I went around. (Original) 宇喜多秀家の墓の後に巡りました。 今は民家の軒先に史跡があるので、いいのかなとドキドキしながら巡りました。
