[2025 Hachijojima Airports] Travel Guide for Hachijojima Airport (Updated May)

If you want to try Hachijojima's specialties, I recommend Akakokko, an airport restaurant. I ordered the "Island Fish Set" without hesitation from the many menus. The main dish is mixed fries (flying fish croquettes, bluefin tuna fries, flying fish satsumaage). It's hot and crispy and definitely delicious. The soup is flying fish meatballs and local seaweed. The rice is seaweed rice 🍚, and underneath the generous amount of local seaweed, there are layers of rice, bonito flakes, and rice. It's just like my mother's nori bento. The wasabi served on the edge of the bowl can be added with soy sauce to taste. Everything is super delicious, and it's a set menu where you can't tell which is the main ingredient. The slightly bitter boiled asa leaf is also irresistible. pic3 Asa leaf soba Asa leaf tempura, boiled asa leaf, and soba noodles kneaded with asa leaf. The local seaweed works well. This is also delicious 😋

Hachijojima Airport, which is about 50 minutes from Haneda Airport, was established in 1927 as a former naval airfield. Currently, ANA operates three round trips a day from Haneda to Hachijojima. The airport is located between Mt. Mihara and Mt. Hachijo, and both mountains are visible. Because of its location between mountains and being an isolated island in the open ocean, the airport is one of the most difficult airports in Japan for takeoff and landing, with large wind changes and prone to fog. It is also known for its conditional operations, such as turning back to Haneda, and for the many canceled flights. There is only one shop outside the security checkpoint and one restaurant. #TokyoTourism #TripToVisitRemoteIslands #Airport #777
