A simple way to visit

  1. Arrange arrival transfer and meals.
  2. Choose one activity with a weather alternative.
  3. Check the return service and keep a buffer.

Make the most of your visit

A view of Hachijo Fuji is not a commitment to climb it. Choose walking distance, swimming requirements and guide support before booking an activity.

Rainy-day planning

Keep an indoor or rest day and contact the operator about cancellations. Check your return transport before fixing the next day’s plans.
