TAMA & SHIMA Experience Movies

Follow us to Aogashima where you can go hiking in a rare, double caldera. You’ll discover hidden spots with mysterious scenery. Nature is beautiful, yet harsh, as can be seen at the shore where the rough seas carve away at the rocks. Even the boats must be lifted to higher ground to keep them safe!
For the adventurous, we recommend Oshima Island - it’s an active volcano! The landscape is covered with lumpy, volcanic rocks. Pass through the torii gate at the top of the island on your way to a huge crater, and then to the otherworldly expanse of the Ura-Sabaku desert where black sands continue on as far as the eye can see.
Chichijima Island and Hahajima Island, also known as the Ogasawara Islands is a world heritage site where you can go kayaking over the beautiful blue waters at Chichijima, and go hiking through the dense forest of Hahajima where you will find remnants of World War II. There is so much to discover!
