How To Reach
Because of its remoteness, one of the ways to reach Aogashima is by boat, although the island does not have a proper harbor. If you have the budget, another option is to come by helicopter, which is operated by the Tokyo Island Shuttle Service. Whether you take the boat or the helicopter, you will still leave from the neighbor island of Hachijojima, which is about 60 kilometers away. Coming to Aogashima means enjoying the beauty and tranquility of a tropical paradise that is rarely visited by many. It does not offer a lot of modern facilities and amenities, as it is natural haven where you go to get away from modern living.
