Hachijo-cho, Tokyo, Izu Islands, "Hachijojima" Video Introduction This video, titled "Hachijojima - The Other Side of Tokyo : 80Days Travel," is an introductory video on the scenery of Hachijo-jima (Hachijo Island), an island in the Izu Islands of Tokyo. The video was produced by “TokyoStreetView - Japan The Beautiful.” Most people think of Okinawa when it comes to tropical resorts in Japan, but there's a sightseeing destination in Tokyo where you can enjoy that same tropical resort atmosphere. In this article, we'll introduce Hachijo-jima, a resort near the city, as well as some sight seeing information about the area. The video shows some of the amazing scenery of Hachijo-jima, located in the Izu Islands. Can you believe this place is part of Tokyo? Hachijo-Jima: An Island Rich in Nature, Created by an Active Volcano Photo:Hachijo-jima The Izu Islands are located at the southern end of Tokyo and connected to the Pacific Ocean. They consist of about 100 different islands of all different sizes. Among the Izu islands, Hachijo-jima is especially popular as a sightseeing destination, thanks to its beautiful natural scenery and subtropical climate. Izu Islands' Hachijo-jima is the second largest inhabited island among the "Izu Seven." Hachijo-jima’s Nishiyama, also called “Hachijo Fuji,” is an active volcano but the volcanic activity has settled down since the Edo Period (1603-1868). The beautiful natural scenery that the volcano created is definitely worth checking out. Sightseeing on Hachijo-Jima!

At 0:24 in the video, scenes of sea turtles swimming elegantly in the beautifully clear sea are shown. Thanks to that subtropical climate we mentioned earlier, you can enjoy diving year round at Hachijo-jima. If you want to enjoy some marine activities, we recommend checking out the crystal clear waters of Sokodo Beach! The beautiful, natural scenery is popular among travelers for taking Instagram photos. Recommended Sightseeing Locations on Hachijo-Jima Source :YouTube screenshot Hachijo-jima's untouched tropical forests allow you to enjoy walking around sightseeing, while taking in the island's history.

The footbath, Ashiyu Kirameki, can be seen at 1:07 in the video. When visiting Hachijo-jima, you've got to try the local specialty "Shima Sushi." The Hachijo Morning Market is held on the third Saturday every month. We recommend matching up your schedule with some of the events on the Island if possible.

It introduces popular sightseeing spots, as well as the food and culture of Okinawa. Tourists travel from all over the world to Okinawa for its beautiful beaches, delicious food and comfortable climate. For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax both body and mind, we highly recommend a trip to Okinawa! There are so many places to enjoy your time in Okinawa. Not only is there the popular main island but there are also many beautiful, smaller islands such as Ishigaki island (石垣島, ishigakijima) and Taketomi island (竹富島, taketomijima) where you can spend your holiday relaxing in the sun. In this article, we'll introduce popular sightseeing spots and delicacies we recommend you try on your trip to Okinawa! Be sure to follow along with the video! The Top Sightseeing Spots in Okinawa ・Islands to visit on your trip to Okinawa The smaller islands off the mainland of Okinawa are a great place to go to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city. All of the islands are abundant with nature and the scenery is unbelievably beautiful. We highly recommend Taketomi island, Ishigaki island, and Miyako island (宮古島, miyakojima). All are fantastic places where you can take part in fun activities, such as banana boating, scuba diving, parasailing, or walking along the sea floor (an activity known as "sea walk" in Japanese). You can take a look at these water activities from 0:15 in the video. Don't they look exciting? Photo:Sefa-Utaki ・Historic sites to visit in Okinawa There are numerous spots in Okinawa steeped in history, such as Sefa-Utaki (斎場御嶽), Shuri Castle (首里城, shurijou)and Choju no mura (長寿の村). We highly recommend visiting Utaki, which is known for being a power spot in Okinawa. It's a very mysterious and fascinating place where people often go to say prayers. Recommended Sightseeing Spots in Okinawa Photo:Churaumi Aquarium There are many spots in Okinawa to enjoy with the whole family, such as Churaumi Aquarium (美ら海水族館) and International Avenue (国際通り) (known in Japanese as Kokusai Dori). International Avenue is home to the biggest shopping district in Naha (那覇) and is a place where you can enjoy eating out, shopping, or buying souvenirs. It's definitely a place worth visiting if you plan on travelling to Okinawa's main island. Okinawan Cuisine and Souvenirs If you would like to try Okinawan cuisine, we highly recommend ordering some Okinawa Soba (沖縄そば) or Goya Chanpuru (ゴーヤチャンプル). Agu pork (アグー豚), with its characteristic high quality fat, is another dish we recommend you try during your visit to Okinawa! You can see these dishes in the video at 0:45. Okinawa's famous shochu "Awamori" (泡盛) makes a great souvenir for family and friends! Areas We Recommend to Enjoy the Best of Okinawan Cuisine Photo:public market, Okinawa For those looking forward to experiencing Okinawan cuisine, we highly recommend visiting the public parket. The public market, also known as Nahashi no daidokoro (那覇市の台所) which translates to "Naha City's Kitchen," sells fresh fish, pigs feet, shimarakkyo (島らっきょ), goya, and other popular Okinawa foods. It's popular with both locals and foreign visitors. There's also a dining area in the public market where you can enjoy trying Okinawan cuisine. However, please take note that the public market is currently under construction and has been temporarily relocated to the nearby "Nigiwai Hiroba" (にぎわい広場) (rebuilding of the public market is due to be completed by March 31st, 2022).
