This is the story of how we got to Aogashima, Japan's most remote island. What makes this island really interesting is not only how difficult it is to get here, which first requires a stop at Hachijojima, but also the unique geography of a volcano inside another volcano. Come follow along as we struggle to find our way to this tropical paradise.

I've been exploring Hachijojima and Aogoshima on google maps for about two years now, visiting the whole Izu island chain is definitely on my bucket list at this point. Good video on showing both islands! :)

Thank you! Both islands were amazing and so worth it to visit! We'd love to visit the rest of the izu islands at some point as well.

Great video. We went to Aogashima in 10/2018. One day (too short, but part of a massive trip thru the cities, southern Kyushu, Okinawa to Iriomote), walked everywhere, saw almost everything (generally), but our feet were killing us. Still I can't imagine not walking when there. Your senses take in so many details. Loved and now miss the beauty, silence, and tenacity of the locals. I managed to book the helicopter to Aogashima. I can not explain how difficult that was. Felt like climbing Everest. I can't speak Japanese and no one could understand English whatsoever. Like water you find a way. Loved Hachijojima too. We hiked up the old crater like you, sooo steep. The walk in the grass around the top of the crater at dusk, nearby Kojima in the setting sun, a world of ocean all around, the danger of the overhanging trail and the path under you sliding with every step, the city lights after dark. Unforgettable to say the least. We explored all around Hachijo. Saw sea turtles, surfers, palm trees, an old hotel. It was always quiet and seemed nearly empty. Before going I found a picture that was supposedly the front entrance of a stay on Aogashima & I got an idea of the general location of where it was. Then we went. I had travelled all over Hokkaido before & experienced a ton of "no English," but the amazing Japanese always make it work. I can't say enough about how worthy of respect the Japanese people are (that sentence was clumsy, but true). We found our building, no reservation, knock knock we are here on Aogashima, do you have a room available?...Funny how the manager didn't understand why we were knocking on her door, but yes she gave us a room among rooms, shower, & a huge delicious dinner. She was entirely sweet and hospitable, though tough on her first presentation. My palate is ultra sensitive...and I struggle with sushi and the many other sea creatures...when she saw that I could taste the sushi and the sushi that that sushi had for its last meal she volunteered to cook it (those Americans ; ). There's so much to wonder at when on Aogashima, but one of my favorites besides the overall complete beauty and silence was walking along the twisted clinging lifeless road on the outside of the caldera suspended above the Pacific. Seems like there is only you and all the winds of the world with all the history they have seen. Another was while we were at the tiny port with no person in sight, someone was moving an approximate 30 foot fishing boat by cable from the sea up to a safe onland docking location maybe 150 feet above the sea. In the middle of its travels the boat rode along the cable maybe 100 feet above us, while the entire time an adorable children's song was BLARING from multiple speakers around the tiny port to warn people that there was a big boat far above your head. Such a sight, such a goofy playful song so loud, no human in sight the entire hour we were there, all sandwiched between an isolated sheer volcanic cliff and gorgeous blue ocean as far as the eye can see.

Lol, why? I understand Aogashima, but Japan has some pretty grotesque populated islands. I'll never understand why westerners have such an affanity for Japan. I was forced to move to Tokyo, but it's def not something I would have done if given the option. Regardless, I am trying to talk my wife into going to Aogashima. It's pretty amazing.

Nice video. You tried so hard to get here. On the trip over, the sea seemed calm and the distance was short. Why was there risk that the ferry trip may be cancelled? Also you said there are only 170 residents. Who are the ferry passengers, residents or tourists?
@didibryan
@didibryan Жыл бұрын
Thank you! The sea was definitely relatively calm, but it could always have changed depending on the weather. Basically if the waves are too strong, it's too dangerous and the boat can't actually dock. As for the ferry passengers, there were some tourists, but also some workers who had to travel to the island. For example, there was a guy who worked for the telephone company who was there with us. Residents from what I heard usually take a helicopter, which was fully booked on the days we wanted to go.

@@didibryan Thanks. Does that helicopter go from Aogashima to Honshu, or does it fly to Hachijojima only, and you have to catch another flight to Honshu? It's hard for me to live on an island with 170 people, but some people do. There is a similar thing in the Philippines where you have a volcano (still active sometimes) in a lake on an island in another lake, so it's land-water-land-water-land or something like that, and yes, people live on that island too.

The helicopter flies from Hachijojima unfortunately. There are islands in Japan with even fewer residents as well! Wow that's pretty incredible! Have you ever been to any of those islands?

@@didibryan No, I have not been on that island (It's Taal volcano if you want to see it on a map). I have been in a town on the "mainland" side, and since the outer lake is fairly small, you can see quite a bit of the island without going there.
