Product Info

  • A must-see scenic spot when you come to Ogasawara! The contrast between the pure white sand and the blue sea is amazing. Come and see the otherworldly scenery that you can't see just from the outside!
  • Landing on a deserted island with a spectacular view
  • Minamijima is a small uninhabited island southwest of Chichijima. It is almost always featured in guidebooks and on television, and is a spectacular spot that anyone visiting Ogasawara should definitely visit at least once. It is home to the land hermit crab, a protected species, and rare endangered plants, and is also a breeding ground for seabirds and a nesting site for green sea turtles. Numerous semi-fossils of the broad-beaked katamai snail, dating back approximately 1,500 years, are scattered on the beach, allowing you to enjoy a truly otherworldly view.
  • Enjoy the beautiful boat trip there and back!
  • Ride a boat and enjoy the beautiful Ogasawara sea as you aim to land on a rare uninhabited island that can only be reached with a guide! If you're lucky, you might even spot dolphins or whales on the boat on the way there and back!
