Fureai Bokujo Farm
Perched on the verdant slopes of Mount Hachijo-Fuji, Fureai Bokujo Farm (八丈富士ふれあい牧場) is a serene upland pasture where the island’s famous cattle graze against a backdrop of deep Pacific blue. While it is a functional dairy farm—Hachijojima is renowned for its rich, high-quality milk—it has become a favorite for travelers thanks to its spectacular observation deck.
From this vantage point, you are treated to arguably the best panoramic view in the Tokyo Metropolis. You can see the entire central strip of the island, including the airport runway, framed by the emerald peak of Mount Mihara in the distance. The sight of cows roaming these highland meadows feels strikingly Alpine, yet the ocean breeze reminds you exactly where you are. Best of all, admission is completely free, making it an essential stop for a picnic or a quiet moment of reflection during your exploration of the volcano.
