Eco-tour: Ogasawara-island (Bonin Islands)

Ogawasara islands belong to Tokyo. However, it takes 27hours by ship from the main land of Japan.

The islands are in the subtropical zone. Chichi-jima (Father island) and Haha-jima (Mother island) are the main islands where people live. As the ferry from Tokyo arrives at Chichi-jima, most of the inns and tour operators are in Chichi-jima. The popular activities in the island are swimming with dolphin and whale watching in the sea and serching Ogawasara Ookomori: fruit bat and Green-pepe: a glow mushroom at night in the land.

If you want to enjoy more nature in Ogasawara, cross to Haha-jima or Minami-jima (South island). the number of preple who can land the island is limited on Minami-jima for environmental protection purpose.

As shown in the photo, it is best and most fruitful for you to go hiking with a local guide. (note: you cannot not access to some areas on the island without a guide.)

The rainy season in Ogasawara is nearly over. Summer is just around the corner!
