Maruyama Observation Deck of the Day

A saltwater pool that has been artificially constructed by hollowing out a rocky reef. Surrounded by steep bluffs, it is a valuable swimming point on the island of Nantai, which is free of sandy beaches. You can enjoy the exciting feeling of swimming in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You cannot swim at high tide, which is about 2m deep, or when the waves are high. A pavilion for observation is also set up in the vicinity. There is one other place on the East Coast, a naval bar pool.

Meiji 33 (1900) A museum that presents the history and culture of the island beginning with the reclamation of Tamaki Hanemon, a great merchant on Hachijo Island. Material on the sugar company domination era, among others, is a must. The goods vouchers and the Tōjima Approved Certificate, which were issued by the sugar company in lieu of money, convey the management structure at the time. On the side of the center, a sugar train, which has been active in carrying sugar cane and transporting islanders supplies, is also displayed for preservation.

The island's Ujinjin-sama, built by Tamaki Hanemon, a settler on the southern eastern island of Japan, with the Amaterasu Daijin in service. The precinct, where the old trees grow, is a treasure trove of flora and fauna unique to the island of Minamidaitō, such as the daitō-kōnō, and the daitō-birō. At night, Japan's largest bat, the giant flying fox, which is a natural monument of the country, also flies around. Every year on September 22 and 23, the island's best festival, the Toyonen Festival, is held, and Edo Sumo and Okinawa Kakuriki [Kakuriki] are dedicated.
