    Tokyo Hachijomachi Mitsune
    This scenic spot is located at the end of the most winding mountain road that goes around Hachijojima Island. From the top of the observation deck one can see the cityscape of Mine, including Mt. Hachijofuji, Mt. Kando, Sokodo Port, and more. The observatory is also famous for the number one and two view spots on the island. It got its name from the path that looks like a dragon rising upwards, which one can see from the top of the observatory. On nice days, you can even see the silhouette of Miyake and Mikura islands. Known for its beautiful night view and starry sky, it has also been selected as one of the 100 Views of New Tokyo.

    Tokyo Hachijomachi Sueyoshi
    This observatory is located in the Sueyoshi area, the village farthest from airports and ports. The view from the observatory is counted as one of the eight must-see views on the island, and is 20 minutes from the airport by car. From the parking lot, you need to follow an unpaved path surrounded by subtropical plants for about 20 meters. From the cliffs of Koiwadogahana that protrude into the Pacific Ocean, you can look out over the ocean, Borawazawa Port and the silhouette of the somewhat distant Aogashima Island. This place has been famous since long ago as a place to view the harvest moon, and was chosen as one of the eight picturesque views of Hachijojima Island.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
