Chichi-jima is a picturesque and isolated island with crystal clear azure waters, a sanctuary for preserving green turtles, and a significant site of World War II history. Unfortunately, the island was also witness to gruesome events during the war, including the mutilation of eight soldiers by Japanese troops under General Yoshio Tachibana. Additionally, Mr. Ballen has mentioned disturbing incidents that took place on Chichi-jima during WWII.
Read a book about it. Some crazy stuff went on here. The history here proves the evils and downfalls of militarism

(Translated by Google) It's all a journey. We departed from Takeshiba Pier at exactly 11am with a whistle. I was able to enjoy the 24-hour voyage without getting bored and without getting seasick. Long after the communication stopped, Gannet had a rendezvous with Ogasawaramaru♪
There were many photography enthusiasts on board the boat, and they took many photos of the gannets catching fish.
As you approach Futami Port on Chichijima, the color of the sea becomes darker and brighter, becoming a Bonin Blue. After receiving warm hospitality at the port, we started living on the island for 4 days and 3 nights. 90% of the islanders are immigrants who love Ogasawara. Together with the indigenous people, we protect nature and support the vitality of the island. There were only two supermarkets on the main street, but they were out of stock due to the large typhoon in August. This is the difficulty of living on a remote island. While learning about these things from the staff at the inn, you can enjoy the ocean, mountains, and nature to the fullest. A parade of rare fish, coral, and shellfish can be seen just by swimming! You can enjoy the sea quite freely with just a snorkel.
The Todaira Forest, which can only be visited with a qualified guide, is home to many endemic plants. The area is subtropical and can be visited until October, when the red-crowned pigeons begin breeding. I forget that I am in Japan.
On the fourth day, when even after playing to the fullest, it was still not enough, it was time to take a boat trip from Futami Port to the Japanese archipelago. The reason why all visitors to the island decide to return soon is because of this great nature and the famous fare. May the great nature of Ogasawara continue to exist forever.

全部が旅です。竹芝桟橋をAM11時ちょうどに汽笛と共に出航。24時間の航海は飽きることなく船酔いすることなく楽しめました。すっかり通信も届かなくなって久しい頃にはカツオドリがおがさわら丸とランデブー♪
船にはたくさんの写真愛好家も乗船しておりカツオドリが魚を捕える姿を何度もシャッターしていました。
父島二見港に近づくにつれ海の色はこっくりとしつつ鮮やかなBoninBlueに。港で厚いおもてなしを受けて3泊4日の島暮らしがスタート。島民の9割は小笠原を愛してやまない移住者。先住者と一緒に自然を守り島の元気を支えています。目立ったスーパーはメイン通りに2軒だけでしたが8月お盆の大型台風で物資が入っておらず品薄。これぞ離島暮らしの大変さ。そんなことも宿のスタッフに教えてもらいながら、海に山にと大自然を満喫します。ただ泳いでいるだけでも珍しい魚、サンゴ、貝のオンパレード!シュノーケルひとつでかなり自由に海の中を楽しめます。
資格を持つガイド同伴でしか行けない東平の森には固有種の植物がたくさん。アカガシラカラスバトの繁殖前である10月まで足を踏み入れることができるエリアは亜熱帯。日本であることを忘れます。
目一杯遊んでもまだ足りない4日目、今度は二見港から日本列島まで船旅です。来島者が皆近いうちに戻ってこようと決意するのはこの大自然と名物のお見送りがあるから。小笠原の大自然がいつまでもあり続けますように。

(Translated by Google) The people on the island are kind and will politely explain whatever you ask.
Since it is a remote island in Tokyo, it is fully equipped with water, sewage, and cables. The infrastructure facilities are perfect.
If you use something like a unique currency called Shimapo, the Tokyo metropolitan government will pay 30% of the cost, which is a great deal.
All the restaurants are high quality and delicious.
The farewell we received when we finally left the island was very moving! I would like to come again!

Minamijima Island is a verdant and picturesque destination that boasts distinctive stone structures, diverse plant life, and a vibrant ecosystem. This tropical retreat is accessible to the public with the guidance of licensed tour operators. Visitors can explore the lush landscape while marveling at the island's exceptional geological features, flora, and fauna. With certified guides leading the way, tourists can appreciate all that Minamijima Island has to offer while enjoying its natural beauty in a safe and knowledgeable manner.
Your Ogasawara visit will surely be completed with a Minamijima tour. At least in my experience with the Pink Dolphin Tour some time in February, we go out into the sea checking for the humpback whales and following them around until all of us get satisfied clicking our shutters for photos. The tour, of course, includes landing in Minamijima and having a walk around with the tour guide talking about the specific and unique plants and animals that inhabit the island. Lastly, we also search for pods of dolphins in between and a short stop at the Cabbage Beach off the coast of Anijima.

It was a really long boat trip from 8:30 to 4:00 pm. But everything was so amazing. We encountered some whales along the way and we have seen the beautiful view of Minamijima Island. We also see the front view of the famous HeartRock mountain then we went to Anajima for the snorkling experience. Ogasawara is really an enchanting place to visit.

(Translated by Google) It's a place you should visit at least once in your life.
South Island next to Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands! Usually from Shark Pond (photo ① left side)
The rocky area of Labier, which you can enter by boat and walk to Ogiike (nearby), is dangerous, so
We recommend wearing shoes that don't mind getting wet (marine boots), and since you can go to places where you can overlook the Seto, it's a good idea to bring your camera, cell phone, etc. to be careful not to get submerged in the water.
You can also enjoy snorkeling at Ogiike. From spring to summer, there are countless footprints of green sea turtles on the sandy beach of Ogiike, and if you are lucky, you may even see baby turtles hatching. You will always be accompanied by a tourist guide, so they will be able to clearly explain the detailed precautions.
Depending on the time of year, there are times when entry to the island is prohibited.
I think it would be a good idea to do some research.

扇池ではシュノーケリングも楽しめる。春から夏にかけては、扇池の砂浜には無数のアオウミガメの足跡があり、運が良ければ子亀の孵化にも出会える。必ず観光ガイドが同伴するので、細かい注意事項などはキチンと説明してくれるはずです。
時期によっては入島禁止時期もありますので、

(Translated by Google) The sandy beach is not warm.
If you ask me, it's true. According to our guide, this is because it is made of limestone.
An island where only 100 people can land on the island each day. From the moment I decided to go to Ogasawara, I was eager to come.
It's a beautiful place. I highly recommend you to go and check it out.

(Translated by Google) It is an island with unique and beautiful scenery such as ``Ogiike'' and ``Sameike''. South Island has an unusual topography called submerged karst, even among the topography formed from coral-derived limestone. Fossils of extinct hermit crabs cover the island's sandy beaches. Even as an island in the south, it is an island worth visiting as it has an unusual geology. There are tours departing from Chichijima almost every day. There is a limit on the number of people who can come ashore per day, but if you don't mind that, it's an easy place to go.

「扇池」や「鮫池」といった独特の美しい風景の島です。南島はサンゴ由来の石灰岩で形成された地形の中でも、沈水カルストというまずらしい地形です。そして絶滅してしまったヤドカリの化石が島の砂浜を埋め尽くしています。南の島としても、珍しい地質の島として、訪ねる価値のある島です。父島からは毎日のようにツアーが出ています。1日の上陸人数に制限がありますが、それにハズれなければ行きやすいところです。

(Translated by Google) It is a popular island that has a limit on the number of people who can enter the island each day, so you can only go on a tour. The fan-shaped beach on the white sand beach is impressive. Are there hermit crabs on this island? There are a lot of fossils, so this is also a point that you can't miss. We will be walking around the island with a guide, which is fun and feels like a bit of an adventure. When you climb the hill, the scenery of the island takes on a different feel and is very impressive. If the weather is bad, the boat won't be able to get to the island, so you'll need some luck here as well!

The Ogasawara Marine Center, located by the coast, is home to a variety of exhibits and activities related to island history and biology. Visitors can explore galleries with information on these topics or visit the sea turtle farm, where they can feed baby turtles for 300 yen or adult turtles for 100 yen. For an additional fee of 500 yen, visitors can even take a photo with the turtles.
Brilliant conservation centre. Lovely staff who made great efforts to speak English. Amazing that it’s free and they only charge to feed or release the turtles. Thank you!
Soph Dyer — Google review
Amazing to see the sea turtles so close, especially the little ones.
It’s a pretty old looking a bit dilapidated place, so nothing like an aquarium or such. At least you can feed the adult and even the baby turtles.
The explanation why it’s ok to eat the sea turtles only on Ogasawara was only partially convincing. Citing long tradition and not taking away from people what they are used to, when the island is only populated for not too long and the meat is mostly fed to tourists and the local population consists largely of people from the Japanese mainland.
Well, worth a look, especially if you couldn’t spot any turtles snorkeling or diving.

It was a valuable experience to see hatchlings competing to eat snacks from each other, large turtles dynamically eating cabbage, and turtles with voracious appetites swishing across the water surface while moving their front fins in search of snacks. Ta.

Although it has a handmade feel to it, I feel that it is an important presence in the steady research and efforts to understand ecology for tourists. There is a corner where guests can patrol, a corner where you can buy food and put it in the turtle in the aquarium, and there is also an optional corner where you can clean the turtle's shell and take pictures, so it is worth visiting at least once during your stay.

There were a lot of sea turtles! I was planning to just look at it, but it looked like I was hungry so I decided to give it to you! very cute.
Just keep watch? Since there is no one there, I'm a little worried that someone might give her strange things or bully her.
Kominato Beach is the largest and most popular beach on the island, featuring fine white sand and shallow, clear waters. It offers a wide area for swimming and connects to Kopepe Beach. The beach serves as the entrance to Nakayama Viewpoint and John Beach trail, providing stunning views of Yatsuse River. Visitors can also enjoy stargazing at night with a clear view of constellations.
This the widest beach in the island. It has the finest white sand here and for me, its the best beach here. It is so good to swim here cause the shallow part is so wide and you can even go across the beside beach which is the Kopepe Beach. It was so nice here. I love this beach.
It is also the entrance to the Nakayama Viewpoint and John Beach trail. From here you will see the Yatsuse River
You can also have star gazing here at night which you can see all the canstellations so clearly.

(Translated by Google) A quiet white sand beach located in a remote area. It seems to be a popular snorkeling spot.
While walking on the sandy beach, a hermit crab greeted us!
I don't know much about it, but I heard that there are four types of giant hermit crabs in Ogasawara, and all of them are natural monuments.
I'm sure this is the case as well.
I found a crab in the rocky area on my left, and when I returned to the hermit crab, I saw that it had been walking very hard from the edge of the water to the land.
(There are so many footprints lol)
It may be a common sight in Ogasawara, but just seeing something like this made me feel soothed and satisfied.
There is a parking lot, rest area, and toilet.

(Translated by Google) I contacted this tourist association over the phone and asked Mr. Hayakawa for a half-day tour. If there is a place you would like to go to, please let us know in advance and we will plan your schedule accordingly.
He knows everything about the nature of the mountains on Hahajima Island, and although it was a short time, I was able to learn about the history and natural environment, and it was a very fulfilling sightseeing trip. I was surprised at how amazing it was that when I imitated the call of Hahajima Meguro, they all flocked to me! A number of them have gathered. I think it would be better to wear long sleeves and long pants.
When I visited with lunch, I was able to see the spectacular view from Mr. Hayakawa's farm and the Hahajima white-eye and white-eye at the waterhole. It is said that you may even see whales.
Hahajima Meguro T-shirts and stickers from the tourist association's souvenir corner make great souvenirs. I would like to stay on Hahajima next time!

Hahajima Retto is a tranquil and picturesque island, home to endemic species such as land snails and the Bonin white-eye bird. Unlike Chichijima, Hahajima Retto lacks buses and is best explored on foot. The locals are hospitable but prefer visitors to enjoy themselves without bothering them too much. Wildlife enthusiasts can set up water plates to attract wild birds for photography opportunities.

It doesn't have hot springs or pool facilities like the Izu Seven Islands, but there aren't many places this close to the ship where you can swim.
We also recommend buying a boxed lunch for lunch during the season when the restaurants are crowded.
There are also toilets, shower rooms, and changing rooms.
You can swim before boarding.
I don't know if you oversleep or lose the will to go home.
If you're on the Omura coast, you don't have to worry about being washed away that much.
If you try hard, you can swim all year round.
There is a large wooden deck space, and there are benches and desks, so you can relax.
It is also a place for islanders to relax.
Grilling meat on the stove or grill is common and should not be prohibited. Avoid open flames.
(However: Once everyone is done, the place will be cleaned up neatly without leaving a trace.It is rare that events like the common riverbeds and beaches occur.
When it happens once in a while, stories like ✖〇 big blah circle get passed around instantly for some reason. Stay calm and hang out quietly. With self-discipline)

ふねからちかい。
伊豆七島みたいに温泉、プール施設はないけど、こんなに船から近くて泳げるところってあんまりない。
食事処が混んでいる季節のお昼、お弁当を買ってのランチもお勧め。
トイレ、シャワー室、更衣室もある。
乗船前に泳げる。
寝過ごしたり、帰る気失くしても知りませんが。
大村海岸なら、そんなに流される心配もないよ。
がんばれば一年中泳げます。
ウッドデッキスペースが広くとってあり、ベンチや机もあるのでゆっくりできます。
島民も憩いの場。
コンロ、グリルを使って肉を焼くのも、よくある、禁止とかではないはずです。直火はやめましょう。
(ただし:みなさん終わったらあとかたも無く綺麗に片付されます。よくある河川敷やビーチのような事象は滅多にありません。
たまに発生すると、✖〇大何とかサークルがみたいな話はなぜか即時伝わります。落ち着いて、静かにハネましょう。自戒を込めて)

(Translated by Google) Visited in mid-September.
This is the coast closest to Ogasawara town.
The water temperature is basically as warm as a heated pool, and it's absolutely beautiful.
There are many coral fragments on the sandy beach, so be careful when walking.
It can't be helped because it's near the port, but there are no coral reefs. So there are a lot of fish here and there. The water also feels a little sticky.
Transparency: Transparent (extremely clear)
Sand: White (there are many coral fragments)
Shower: Yes
Public toilet: Yes
Beach house: None (there is a covered resting space, but there are no chairs or benches)
Parking: None (you can park there)

(Translated by Google) You can snorkel through colonies of branch coral.
In fact, it was easy to snorkel right in front of the Ogasawara Marine Center.
The sight of coral branches spreading out all over is like the sea of a tropical resort.
The fact that the coral branches spread out less than 10 meters from the land is good for snorkeling beginners.
For your safety and to avoid damaging the branch coral by touching your feet, we recommend wearing highly buoyant equipment such as life jackets.
(Original)
枝珊瑚の群生地をシュノーケリング出来ます。
実際には小笠原海洋センターの目の前がシュノーケリングしやすかったですね。
枝珊瑚が一面に広がる光景はまさに南国リゾートの海。
陸から10mもしない場所から枝珊瑚が広がっているのもシュノーケリング初心者に優しくて良いです。
安全面と足を着いて枝珊瑚を壊さないように、ライフジャケット等、浮力の高い装備がオススメです。

This is a specially calming place that I used to visit for some "drink-by-the-sea" nights. If not via drinks, I frequented here as part of my jogging/brisk walking route as the beach extends to the Akatodai (the red lighthouse. Some parts of the beach, underwater, are occupied by corals, making it liveable for some fish. Thus, it makes for a good snorkeling spot.

(Translated by Google) The branch corals are stunning!
Locals say that since it was registered as a World Heritage Site, people have become more conscious of protecting nature, and the branch coral colonies are also growing!
You can easily enter from the coast, but the clusters slightly offshore are also spectacular. Here and there, you'll see round, concave spots that look like turtles resting there, and I found two of them while snorkeling!
It is recommended because it is a comfortable beach with plenty of shade!

(Translated by Google) When I went early in the morning, I saw a sea turtle sleeping on the seabed between coral branches right after swimming from the beach in front of the marine center. As soon as I approached it, it ran away.
If you go a little offshore, you can see a drop-off from the tip of a branch coral. We do not recommend swimming in the branch coral area in front of the embankment where the Tetrabod is located on the Futami Port side, as the water is so shallow that it is impossible to swim in the entire area, and there are almost no fish.
There are few fish along this ice-making coast. When snorkeling, we recommend entering from the beach in front of the marine center. If you're lucky, you'll see sea turtles.
(Original)
朝早く行くと海洋センターの前のビーチから泳いで直ぐの枝サンゴの間の海底にウミガメが寝ていました。近づくと直ぐに逃げてしまいました。
少し沖にいくと枝サンゴの先からドロップオフになる光景を見ることができます。二見港側のテトラボッドがある堤防前の枝サンゴ地帯は全域泳げないほど水深が浅く、魚もほとんどいないのでお勧めしません。
この製氷海岸全域で魚は少ないです。シュノーケリング時は海洋センター前にあるビーチからエントリーするのをお勧めします。運が良ければウミガメがいます。

It is advisable to make an advance application for mountaineering at the tourist association. Opting to go in a clockwise direction is recommended. Although not a high mountain, its slopes are steep, so it's important to remain calm and composed. While the summit itself is inaccessible, one can still enjoy breathtaking vistas of the west (towards the village) and east (overlooking the sea). The view from the east side is particularly awe-inspiring and may evoke a sense of trepidation.
(Translated by Google) It is best to apply for climbing at the tourism association in advance before going.
We recommend the clockwise course.
It's not a high mountain, but the slope is steep, so don't be afraid to climb it.
The summit is not open, but you can see to the west (towards the village) and east (towards the sea).
The view to the east in particular is so beautiful that it makes you feel scared.
(When going clockwise) There is a point where you can walk on an open ridge after descending a little, and from there you can get a panoramic view of Okure Bay and the Minamisaki area.

事前に観光協会に登山の申請をしてから行くといいですよ。

(Translated by Google) The contrast between the blue of the sea and the green of the mountains is amazing. At first, it was a monotonous climb (clockwise course), but along the way, spectacular views appeared one after another, and I enjoyed it.
Although the trail is well-maintained, it is a mountain path, so it is essential to be prepared with hiking shoes, rain gear, and water. I think we also need to take measures against the heat. There were hardly any scenes where I looked at the map.
There were so many small insects that it was pointless to use insect repellent, probably because it was the season when insects appeared, but I guess it's common in the mountains.
If you apply in advance at the tourist association at the port, you can receive a summit certificate. I thought it was a good idea as a way to prove that you have climbed the summit.

海空の青さと山の緑のコントラストが素晴らしいです。最初は単調な登りでしたが(時計回りコース)途中から絶景が次々あらわれ、楽しめました。
整備されていますが山道ですので、登山靴、雨具、水の準備は必須です。暑さ対策も必要だと思います。地図を見る場面はほとんどありませんでした。

港の観光協会であらかじめ申し込んでおけば登頂証明書をいただけます。登頂証明の方法といい、良い工夫だと思いました。

(Translated by Google) From the observation deck, you can enjoy the scenery without any artificial objects.
You can see Hahajima Tuna up close at key points.
We recommend walking clockwise. Among various plants, the tunnel-like roots are like a scene from a movie.
Although it was October, we could see many Muninshusran flowers.
You can also see the remains of the war. It's a little scary, it's so graphic.
As it is the highest peak on Hahajima Island, it seems to get foggy easily. Please be careful of the weather.
There are mud removal mats and brushes at the trailhead, so you can take care not to introduce invasive species.
It was 8:30 when we left the village, and 11:00 when we returned to the village from the west entrance via the mountaintop.
I didn't meet anyone, but I think this is a route you should definitely take if you have time.
Have a nice trip everyone.

Sakaiura Beach is a picturesque and serene spot, perfect for snorkeling and relaxation. Accessible by a short walk down a steep slope from the main road, this beach offers covered huts, resting areas, and even a hand washing station using rainwater. The tranquil atmosphere is only interrupted by the soothing sound of waves. Snorkelers can explore the sunken shipwreck just off the coast and encounter an abundance of fish in this hidden gem.
Beautiful beach, worth the steep decline and incline.
Features a ship wreck as snorkeling spot (we didn’t go).
Water is beautiful, we climbed around the caves, and more to explore if having more time.
No facilities whatsoever, so bring your own gear, food and drinks.

Whether you swim or just go sightseeing, this place is such a relaxing spot featuring the sunken ship, Hinkomaru. It has sandy seafloor for some parts and coral-rich parts, too. Recommended place as beginner kayaking destination, if you'd start off from Ogiura. Also equally good for snorkeling because of its calmer waves in summer.

Coast with sunken ship
It's a little far from the harbor and a little walk from the road.
The view from the road is superb.
The most beautiful. You can feel Bonin Blue.
Snorkeling is recommended because you can see a lot of fish, probably because the ship is a hideout.
There is a swing in the back of the coast, which is a photo spot.

(Translated by Google) As I was riding along the coast road, I saw a sign, so I parked my bike in the parking lot and walked down a fairly steep slope for about 5 minutes to find a beautiful and quiet beach.
Rest area and toilet available.
The only BGM on the empty beach is the sound of waves.
It may be a common sight for Ogasawara, but for me, tired from the crowds of the city, it was the ultimate luxury.
When you dive, you'll see a sunken ship that ran aground.

It might be a good idea to think about war while snorkeling.

(Translated by Google) I visited in July 2019 for snorkeling to see the shipwreck. It takes about a 3 minute walk down a steep slope from the main road to the beach. Cars must be parked on the side of the road. Even motorbikes must be parked in the parking lot on the beach, as there is a steel stop just before the slope. There are covered huts and trays on the beach where you can rest, and there is also a hand washing station that uses rainwater, but the water is brown and murky.
The weather was sunny and the waves were calm, so the visibility of the water a little offshore from the shipwreck (about 3 meters deep) was amazing. The ocean floor is white sand as far as the eye can see, and there are no rocks, making it as clear and blue as the water in a swimming pool. This was the first time I felt like I wanted to be in the ocean forever. It was such a different world.
On the other hand, I visited the next day when the weather was bad and there were waves, but the sea water was cloudy and the transparency was poor, and it looked like a completely different beach.
If you are going for snorkeling, we recommend going on a sunny day with calm waves.
There are few fish and no coral other than the area around the shipwreck and the concrete blocks sunk a little offshore.
This can be said for the entire Ogasawara Islands, but there were very few people snorkeling at the beach entry, so I was able to use any beach as if it were private. I would definitely say that this is the most recommended spot on Chichijima.
(Original)
2019年7月に沈船目当てのシュノーケリングで訪れました。幹線道路からビーチまで急な坂を下って徒歩3分程で到着します。車は道路脇の駐車場に停める必要があります。バイクでも坂の直前に鉄製の車止めがあるためビーチ上の駐車場に止める必要があります。ビーチには休憩できる屋根付きの小屋とトレイがあり、雨水を使った手洗い場もありますが、茶色く水が濁っています。
連日の晴天で波が穏やかだったので、沈船の少し沖(水深3M位)の海中の透明度は素晴らしかったです。海底が見渡す限りの白い砂地で岩がないのもあり、まるでプールの水の様に青く澄んでいます。ずーと海の中にいたい気分になったのはここが初めてです。そのぐらい別世界でした。
逆に悪天候で波があった日の翌日にも訪れましたが、海水が濁って透明度が悪く、全く違うビーチの様なありさまでした。
シュノーケリング目的であれば、晴天時が続いた波の穏やかな日に行くことをお勧めします。
沈船周辺と、その少し沖に沈んでいるコンクリートブロック以外に魚は少なくサンゴもありません。
小笠原諸島全域に言えることですが、ビーチエントリーでシュノーケリングしている人がめちゃくちゃ少ないのでどこの浜でもプライベート感覚で利用できました。自分はここが父島で一番のお勧めポイントだと断言します。

National Astronomical Observatory of Japan VERA Ogasawara Observatory
The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan VERA Ogasawara Observatory is home to the VERA 20m antenna, which observes radio waves from stars and galaxies. This observatory synthesizes data from multiple radio telescopes with a diameter of 20m installed in four locations across Japan. The antennas create an observation network spanning 2,300 km. At night, the observatory is illuminated in striking orange neon lights, creating a captivating sight.
(Translated by Google) I was taken on a night tour to learn about this telescope that I had never known before. Just when the machine starts to move, I am impressed with it. If you like space objects, it's worth a look. For those who don't ... hey, maybe it ends with?

This is a 20m wide radio telescope. This looks so good and bright with neon lights at night. You can visit this at any time by car in 17 minutes.
Near from VEGA on the right side of it going in the forest you will see the historical abandoned Air Raid Building. They said that during the WWII, the US Soldiers are always gathering here for a meeting while the villagers are the ones preparing food for them. You can see many vandals on the wall which were written in English

(Translated by Google) The radio telescope at VERA Ogasawara Observation Station apparently synthesizes observation data from multiple radio telescopes.
It is said to be a composite of radio telescopes with a diameter of 20 m installed in four locations in Japan (Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Ogasawara Village, and Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture).
By combining them, it is possible to construct an observation network with a diameter of 2,300 km.
VERA's four radio telescopes are operated remotely from the Mizusawa campus in Oshu City.
Therefore, Ogasawara only has a radio telescope.
Particularly at night, when the antenna is lit up in orange, it is nicknamed ``Orange Pepe'' and is one of the highlights of night tours.
When I stopped by on a night tour, it seemed that observation was closed, so not only was it not lit up, but the antenna was still pointing upwards.
(Original)
VERA小笠原観測局の電波望遠鏡は、複数の電波望遠鏡の観測データを合成して観測しているそうです。
日本国内の4カ所(岩手県奥州市、鹿児島県薩摩川内市、小笠原村、沖縄県石垣市)に設置した口径20mの電波望遠鏡を合成しているそうです。
合成することで直径2300kmの観測網が構築することができるそうです。
VERAの4基の電波望遠鏡は奥州市の水沢キャンパスから遠隔で運用されています。
なので、小笠原には電波望遠鏡だけしかありません。
特に夜間には、アンテナがオレンジ色にライトアップされた姿は、「オレンジぺぺ」の愛称で親しまれて、ナイトツアーの目玉の一つとなっています。
ナイトツアーで寄った時は観測はお休みだったみたいで、ライトアップはされていないだけでなく、アンテナも上を向いたままでした。
