The sea has beautiful shades of blue and it is possible to swim with dolphins, watch whales, and dive in coral reefs. Surfing is also popular here. There aren’t as much waves compared to popular surfing destinations around the world, but when the typhoon season comes, many surfers rush out to the sea You can also take walks or a bike to points around the islands that will show you breathtaking views of island and sunsets.
The buildings of the main town are clustered along the shore at the foot of mountains covered in low trees and shrubs — too tropical to be mistaken for anything on Japan’s main island. With souvenir shops, galleries, hotels, restaurants, bars and traditional izakaya (Japanese pubs) lining the well-paved roads, it feels almost like a small resort. There are plenty of accommodations, from cheap dorms (such as Guesthouse Morionoya, ¥2,800/night) to the sumptuous (Hotel Horizon, ¥32,500).
There are many other ways to experience the specialness of this place and i decided to try one of those famous ogasawara coffee and shark burgers on my way to viewpoint on top of small mountain in this beautiful island.
The shark burger is a popular choice at the Heart Rock Cafe. while you are at it, you can also buy souvenir like bracelet or necklace made from the teeth of sharks caught near islands.
Later on that day i stopped by traditional japanese pub/restaurant to try some of their favorite foods along with japanese beer :)
