Watch humpback whales in winter Hachijojima
2019.12.24|Hachijojima
Humpback whales come to the ocean near Hachijojima from autumn to the beginning of spring. More than 150 whales were detected in the oceanographic survey of the 2018-2019 season. We are waiting for sighting information this year too. You can observe the whales on a hill where you can look out over the coastline and the ocean or from onsen hot springs with an ocean view. We will let you know on Twitter the sighting information that the Hachijojima Tourism Association has received.
