Double caldera, geothermal landscape and dark skies
Visit year-round when sea and air services operate; clear winter nights are especially good for stars.
Tourism source ↗Tokyo’s remote volcanic island forms a rare double caldera, with Maruyama rising inside the larger crater. Viewpoints, geothermal steam vents and dark skies make it a distinctive nature trip, but all access is via Hachijojima and transport is highly weather-dependent.
