Hachijojima Port is situated on the southernmost island of the Izu Seven Island group; the group sits off the south coast of Japan on the Philippine Sea. The island’s enjoyably lush, green aesthetics hide the fact that Hachijojima was originally formed when two adjacent volcanoes merged several hundred years ago. Thousands of tourists flock to the island each year after its jungle like appearance sprang into prominence in recent times. The range of wildlife and distinctive cultural heritage makes the visit even more worthwhile. There is scuba diving and snorkelling readily available, a popular pastime for visitors of the island due to the beautiful tropical fish and coral. There are endless ways to spend time before heading out of Hachijojima to explore the mainland of Japan. The port itself connects passengers to the capital city of Tokyo, departing once a day and lasting for around ten hours. The ship has myriad amenities on-board including restaurants, vending machines and even children's play areas for travelling families. The staff are known to be incredibly helpful, friendly and willing to answer any of the questions and queries of the visitors
