Mount Asahi
旭山
A small hill about 267 meters high, reached in about 20 minutes, with views over Futami Bay, the Omura town and the sea toward Anijima.
Mount Asahi lies in the middle of Chichijima. From the trailhead beside Yoake Road, a 20-minute walk along a forest path brings you to the summit viewpoint, which overlooks all of Futami Bay, Futami Port and the Ogasawara Maru moored there, with Anijima and the open sea to the north. Because it faces east, it's also a great place to watch the sunrise. Along the trail you can see plants and birds unique to the Ogasawara Islands. The visit is free, but there's no bus to the trailhead, so you'll need to rent a car or an e-bike, or join a sightseeing tour. The path gets slippery after rain.
