Beach
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.

Amazing. Best beach ever. But, I don’t know what these people are talking about with the sunset and all. After the 5:00 bell starts ringing, pack up because the mosquitoes are intense at sunset.

(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. (Original) 人里離れたところにある静かな白浜。シュノーケリングポイントとして人気のようです。 砂浜を歩いているとヤドカリが迎えてくれました! あまり詳しくはありませんが小笠原にオオヤドカリは4種類いて全てが天然記念物だとか。 きっとこのコもそうなんでしょう。 左手にある岩場ではカニを発見し、その後ヤドカリのところまで戻ってくると、先ほどの波際からかなり陸地の方まで頑張って歩いて移動していました。 (足跡がめっちゃ付いてる笑) 小笠原では当たり前の光景なのかもしれませんが、こういうのを見ているだけで癒やされて満足できてしまった私でした。 駐車場・休憩所・トイレあり。

The Ogasawara Visitor Center is a great starting point for exploring the area, offering insights into local history and nature. The center features exhibits showcasing the region's culture and ecotourism initiatives. Visitors can learn about endemic plants through special events like "Endemic Plants of the Promenade - Chichijima Edition" and receive pamphlets with photos.
This place is so nice. You can see all the exhibits of the different species and historical sites that we can see in Ogasawara. They provide brochures and seminars for the tourists and villagers who wanted to learn more about the history of the island

(Translated by Google) It is located about a 5-minute walk from the Futami Port waiting area where the Ogasawara Maru docks. If you are visiting Ogasawara for the first time, I highly recommend that you take a tour on the day you arrive. There are easy-to-understand exhibits about Ogasawara's history, flora and fauna, and you can enjoy your tour of the island even more. Admission is free and it takes less than an hour to explore the museum, so feel free to stop by before your afternoon tour on the day of your arrival. You can also get a close look at the stuffed Ogasawara fruit bat, whose face cannot be clearly seen on night tours. She looked quite cute. (Original) おがさわら丸が着岸する二見港待合所から徒歩5分程の場所にあります。 初めて小笠原に来た人は到着日に見学するとこを強くオススメします。 小笠原の歴史や動植物についてわかりやすい展示があり、島内でのツアーをより一層楽しむ事ができます。 入館は無料で一時間もかからずに見て回ることができるので到着日の午後一のツアー前にも気軽に立ち寄れます。 ナイトツアーなどでは顔など良く見えないオガサワラオオコウモリの剥製なども近くで見ることができます。 結構かわいい顔してました。

(Translated by Google) I arrived on land for the first time in a long time and got into the car of the hotel, tour, and diving company that had come to pick me up, but I hadn't made any plans and was told that the car at the hotel had broken down, so I kept coming back several times during my stay. I stepped onto the main walking street. It takes less than 10 minutes to arrive at the visitor center, but I later realize that by chance I have made the perfect departure for my Chichijima trip. First of all, the exhibits are amazing. The purpose of coming to Ogasawara is to experience the rich and unique nature left by the distant sea, and as I have since applied for and participated in the tour myself, I realized that no matter how good the tour guide is, he or she will be able to see the whole picture and the individual species while walking. That's difficult to explain. The visitor center has everything you can see on display, and there are also staff who can provide explanations. Two participants immediately signed up for the free mini-program sponsored by the visitor center, and were shown the vegetation around the visitor center and the goggles used by fishermen during the pioneering period. In the past, everything was made by hand, but having it or not would make a huge difference in the harvest compared to diving and harpooning. I learned that even a simple garden tree around the visitor center has its own characteristics, history and stories about how it has been used by people. Also, during the holidays, there are various programs, such as making accessories using natural materials, which is perfect for families with children (and it's free), so you can spend some time relaxing here without having to go anywhere else. It's also fun, so I recommend it. (Original) 久しぶりに陸にあがり、迎えにきた宿やツアー、ダイビング業者の車にみな乗り込むのだが、なにも決めてこなかった&宿の車が故障しましたと言われたため、その後滞在中に何度も歩くメインストリートに足を踏み入れた。 10分もせずにビジターセンターに到着するけど、こんな経緯で偶然にも父島の旅を始めるのに最適な出発をすることになったと後で気がつく。 まず、展示品が素晴らしい。小笠原に来る目的は絶海ゆえ残された豊かでユニークな自然に触れることだろう、そしてツアーに自分もその後申し込んで参加してわかるが、いくら優秀なツアーガイドさんだって歩きながら全体像や個体種の説明は難しいってこと。ビジターセンターには実際に見ることできるあらゆるものが展示されているし、さらに解説をしてくれる係もいる。 さっそくビジターセンター主催のミニプログラムに参加者2名、無料のに申し込んだらビジターセンターの周りの植生や開拓期の漁師が使っていたゴーグルをみせてくれた。昔はなんでも手作り、しかしこれがあるとないとでは潜って銛をつくのに収穫が大違い。ビジターセンターの周りの何気ない庭木のようなもの一つとっても、その木がどんな特徴があるか、人が利用してきた歴史や物語があることを学んだ。 あと、連休中だと各種のプログラムが設けられていて、自然素材を利用したアクセサリー作りとか、子ども連れにもぴったり(しかも無料だったりする)で、どこかに行かなくてもここでゆっくり過ごすのも楽しいからオススメだ。

(Translated by Google) An exhibition facility where you can see and feel the history of Ogasawara through actual objects and replicas. The exhibits are being updated little by little, making it a place you will never get bored of. However, the exhibition area is not very large, so you can look around fairly quickly. There are also videos and it takes time to watch them. There is also a simple library, mainly books on Ogasawara, but also books on sea creatures and surfing. When killing time before departure, don't read too much and be late.

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.

Admission is free, and you can purchase snacks for adult turtles (cabbage) and snacks for baby turtles for 400 yen. Feeding is fun, so I recommend it. 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.

Just keep watch? Since there is no one there, I'm a little worried that someone might give her strange things or bully her.

The Weather Station Lookout is a cherished destination renowned for its stunning sunsets and breathtaking ocean views. It serves as an ideal spot to witness the majestic Humpback whales during the winter months. Additionally, it attracts locals who gather here at night for stargazing, offering an unobstructed view of the sparkling stars above. Situated in Chichijima, this location has become synonymous with tranquility and magnificence.
Very nice view of the ocean. There are also picnic tables and restrooms. I walked up here from the main town area, which took about half an hour. Saw a few whales from far away, but I will buy some binoculars and come back up here again some day for sure 😁

This is my favorite spot to go whenever I want to watch the sunset. It has a perfect scenery with a view of the ocean. You can also see some Humpback whales here especially during winter season.

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.

(Translated by Google) Visited in July 2020 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. (Original) 海岸通り沿いを走っていると看板が現れたので駐車場にバイクを停め、けっこう急な坂道を徒歩で5分ほど下るとキレイで静かな海岸がありました。 休憩所・トイレあり。 誰もいない海岸にBGMは波の音だけ。 小笠原にとっては当たり前の景色なのかもしれませんが、都会の人混みで疲れた私にとってはこの上ない贅沢でした。 潜ると座礁した船が沈んでいるんだとか。

(Translated by Google) This is a quiet coast located in the eastern part of Futami Bay, and is a popular spot for snorkeling. Off the coast, there remains the Hamae Maru, which was torpedoed and stranded during the Pacific War (1944). Hamae Maru ran aground several tens of meters from the coast. It might be a good idea to think about war while snorkeling. (Original) 二見湾内東部にある波静かな海岸で、シュノーケルのポイントとして人気です。 沖合には太平洋戦争中(1944年)に魚雷攻撃を受け座礁した濱江丸が残ります。 濱江丸は海岸から数十mの所に座礁しています。 シュノーケルで戦争を考えるのも良いのでは。

(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。

At Heart Rock Cafe, patrons can delight in the shade and cool breeze provided by towering trees. It is an ideal spot for those seeking a break from Japanese cuisine and craving non-Japanese food, with a particular recommendation for their delectable burgers. Additionally, this establishment offers excellent locally sourced coffee. The only downside appears to be that the portion sizes are somewhat small.
We came here immediately after the kids and I dropped our things in our inn. We waited for some time for our burgers to be cooked but it was okay. The kids enjoyed the kids burgers and fries.

Amenohi Shokudo is a charming restaurant located in Chichijima, Ogasawara-mura, Tokyo. The cozy atmosphere and delicious island fish katsudon make it a popular choice among locals and visitors alike. The tempura is also highly recommended, with the ebitenbukakke udon being a standout dish.

Tonight, I've just tried their ebitenbukakke udon (海老天ぶかっけうどん) in order to be more familiar with Japanese dish. The taste isn't too much but just right. It's basically what I expected from noodle meals. If anything, the fresh taste of ginger and grated daikon blends well with the variety of tempura they put in the dish. I specifically like that bell pepper tempura is included as it adds stronger flavor than the rest of the mixed-ins. Couple it with passion sour and the dinner experience has just been fantastic.

(Translated by Google) As it is a popular shop, I made a reservation and visited it. It is a rule that reservations can only be made immediately after the opening of 1130 on the departure date. As a result, although it wasn't so crowded, it would be more crowded. The owner and mother are also cheerful and friendly. The inside of the store is not so large, so I feel that I don't want to reserve a seat by reservation. If possible, I would like you to play BGM, but that is not so much in Chichijima, so it may be that kind of thing. I had a zuke bowl, which was considered to be a popular menu. As I knew, it's not unusual because it's not an inedible fish. The seasoning is good, the rice is good, and the miso soup that comes with it is also good. I would like to say that there is no complaint, but as I mentioned earlier, 1,550 yen may be a little expensive in a place that is not unusual. It is cheaper to eat fish at the beach after returning to the mainland and taking out lunch boxes elsewhere. (Original) 人気のお店ということで、予約をして訪問。出港日は1130の開店直後しか、予約を取れないルールとのこと。結果的に、それほど混雑していなかったものの、本来はもっと賑わうのだろう。 店主やおかみさんも明るく愛想は良い。店内はそれほど広くないため、予約で席を確保したがらないのもわかる気がする。できれば、BGMくらいはかけて欲しい気もするが、その辺も父島ではあまりないので、そういうものなのかもしれない。 人気メニューと考えられた、ヅケ丼をいただいた。わかっていたことだが、他で食べられない魚、というわけでもないため、珍しさはない。味付けはよく、コメの加減もいいし、ついてくる味噌汁もうまい。文句がないと言いたいところだが、先にも述べた通り珍しくもないところで1,550円は少し高いかもしれない。 魚は本土に戻ってからとして、他で弁当のテイクアウトなどにして、海辺で食べた方が安上がりではある。

(Translated by Google) This small shop is always full of customers! I wanted to eat curry, so I ordered a fried fish curry, and the volume was amazing. I was satisfied with freshly fried and delicious fries and curry. My brother is cooking by himself, so there is a bit of a wait, but he is very efficient and I don't get tired of waiting. (Original) こぢんまりとしたお店で、いつもお客さんはいっぱい!カレーが食べたかったので、魚フライのカレー頼んだら、ボリュームすごかった。揚げたてで美味しいフライとカレーで満足しました。 お兄さんが1人で料理しているので、多少待つけれど手際が良くて待ちくたびれるほどではないです。

(Translated by Google) A restaurant with a cozy atmosphere where the island fish katsudon on Chichijima, Ogasawara-mura, Tokyo was really delicious: Amenohi Shokudo When I asked the islanders where they could have a delicious lunch, the tempura here was delicious! I was told, so I went! By the time we arrived at noon, it was already overcrowded and expectations were high. I heard that the tempura is delicious, but I couldn't resist the tempura and ordered the island fish katsudon, but I'm glad I ordered it ... it was really delicious. I got a corn tempura that my junior at the company asked for, but this is also delicious The menu is abundant and there are many other things I want to eat, so I'd love to bother you again! (Original) 東京都小笠原村父島にある島魚のカツ丼がめっちゃめちゃ美味かった居心地が良い雰囲気のお店:あめのひ食堂 島民の方に美味しいランチが食べれるところを聞いたら、ここの天ぷらが美味しいよ!って言われたので行ってみた! 昼時でついた時にはすでに超満員で、期待が高まった 天ぷらが美味しいと聞いてたけど、誘惑に勝てず島魚のカツ丼を注文したけど、頼んでよかった、、、めっちゃ美味かった 会社の後輩が頼んだとうもろこしの天ぷらももらったけど、これも美味 メニューも豊富で他にも食べたいものばかりだったから是非ともまたお邪魔させて頂きます!

(Translated by Google) A restaurant popular with tourists on the island! It might be better to make a reservation because it is full of customers at noon! I asked on the day of boarding and the day of departure. There are days when I don't do it, so please check it out! It's a nice place to eat island-like food~ (Original) 島内では観光客に人気の飲食店! お昼時はお客さんでいっぱいなので予約した方がいいかもです! 船入りの日と出港日に伺いました。 やっていない日もあるので要確認です! 島ぽいものが食べれるのがいいところですよね〜

Sushi restaurant
Shima Sushi is a popular sushi restaurant that offers a variety of menus, including the recommended Ogasawara sushi. This menu includes sea turtle sushi along with local fish and squid sushi, all for 1600 yen. Another option is the Shima sushi, which consists of eight volumes priced at 1000 yen. While this option has the same taste throughout, it still remains delicious.
(Translated by Google) We had the opportunity to eat green sea turtle sushi, which is only allowed on this island. The consistency of the vinegared rice, the seasoning, and the amount of wasabi were good, and it was delicious. There were four tables for four people, and since it was lunchtime, there was a rotating flow of customers. Highly recommended if you visit the island. (Original) この島でしか許されていない、青ウミガメのお寿司を、食べさせて頂きました。 酢飯の固さも塩梅もワサビの量も良く、美味しく頂けました。 4人掛けのテーブルが四席あり、昼でしたので、入れ替わり立ち代わり来客がありました。 島を訪れたら、お薦めです。

We were two foreigners visiting from Australia and staying in ChiChiJima for 8 days. We went to Shima Sushi 3 times for lunch. We really enjoyed the simple island sushi style however the owners don't seem very friendly - or perhaps they are just shy. The store hours vary a lot - don't believe the sign on the door displaying the 'open hours' as we found they were often closing up by 12:30pm. (But this was the same for many stores on ChiChiJima though)

(Translated by Google) I had Ogasawara sushi (1500 yen). It wasn't as tasty as it roared, but it tasted normal. The speed of delivery is fast. At the time of checkout, I was charged 1600 yen, so I confirmed that it was Ogasawara sushi, but the price did not change. Did you raise the price? (Original) 小笠原寿司(1500円)をいただきました。 唸るほどの美味さではありませんが、ふつ〜の味でした。 提供のスピードは速いです。 会計時、1600円を請求されたので「小笠原寿司ですよ」と確認するも、料金は変わりませんでした。値上げしたのかな?

(Translated by Google) This is a sushi restaurant where you can eat island sushi and Aomi turtle sushi. The variety on the menu is small. I recommend Ogasawara Sushi (1600 yen). Ogasawara Sushi includes island sushi, local fish/squid nigiri, and one roll of sea turtle nigiri. The island sushi (1000 yen for 8 rolls) is also delicious, but it all tastes the same, so it's a little empty. If you come to Ogasawara, you should try eating sea turtles! It has no smell or taste and is just delicious. (Original) 島寿司と青海亀寿司が食べられるお寿司屋さんです。メニューの種類は少な目。小笠原寿司(1600円)がお勧めかな。小笠原寿司なら、島寿司と地場の魚・イカの握りに海亀の握りが1巻入ってます。島寿司(8巻で1000円)も美味しいのだけど全部同じ味なので少し空きます。せっかく小笠原来たんなら、海亀は食べてみるべき!臭みもクセもなく普通においしいですよ。

Syokudo and Teishoku restaurant
Located in Chichijima, Ogasawara-mura, Tokyo, Paku Paku Shokudo is a renowned eatery known for its delectable yakisoba. This island kitchen has gained popularity amongst locals and tourists alike for its mouthwatering dishes. Visitors are often recommended to try the yakisoba at Paku Paku Shokudo as it is considered their specialty.
(Translated by Google) The kitchen of the island where yakisoba is very delicious in Chichijima, Ogasawara-mura, Tokyo: Paku Paku Shokudo The uncle who spoke at Ogasawara Maru told me "I have to eat yakisoba at Paku Paku Shokudo!" And went to eat yakisoba with haste. I'm glad I went to the conclusion ... it was too delicious I also ate fried chicken and fried rice and they were all delicious, but yakisoba was the best * Please note that you cannot enter this time without proof that you have undergone the PCR test! * There is no pick-up service, so be careful of the time if you have an inn far from Futami Port! I missed the bus in the 18th era and didn't even rent a motorcycle, so I tried my best to walk to Ogiura (1 hour, but it was fun, so it's good) (Original) 東京都小笠原村父島にある焼きそばが大変美味しい島の台所:波食波食食堂(ぱくぱくしょくどう) おがさわら丸でお話ししてくれたおじさまが「波食波食食堂の焼きそばは食べなきゃ!」って教えてくれて行って、速攻で焼きそば食べに行った 結論行ってよかった、、、美味すぎた 他にも唐揚げとかチャーハンも食べてどれも美味しかったけど、焼きそばが一番でした ※PCR検査受けた証明がないと今の時期は入れないので注意! ※送迎はないので、二見港から遠くに宿がある方は時間注意!俺は18時代のバス逃してレンタルバイクもしてなかったから頑張って扇浦まで歩きました(1時間だけど、楽しかったから良し)

(Translated by Google) From the time I entered the store, the clerk was unfriendly and high-pressure. The store was so busy that I didn't have time to spare. The sashimi was delicious, but the customer service was the lowest level. It was my first meal after taking the time to come to the island, but I felt very disappointed that there was a restaurant like this. (Original) 入店した時から店員さんが無愛想で高圧的。 店内が賑わっていたので余裕がなかったのか、ずっとピリピリしたムードで、最後まで目を合わせられることはなかった。 刺身は美味しかったけれど、接客が最低レベル。せっかく時間をかけて島に来て最初の食事だったのに、こんなお店もあるんだととても残念な気持ちになった。

(Translated by Google) It is a set restaurant with various menus. The business days are different, and there are days when the shop is closed, probably due to the ship. The ginger-grilled set meal I ordered was voluminous and very delicious. (Original) メニュー色々ある定食屋さんです。営業日がまちまちで船の関係でしょうたまに閉店してる日があります。注文した生姜焼き定食はボリュームありとてもおいしかったです。

(Translated by Google) As soon as I entered the store, Mr. Ova with a high-pressure attitude "A person from Chichijima? No, aren't you? Have you been there for more than two weeks?" If you tell me that it ’s sightseeing, "Sit back and disinfect" I was guided with an unpleasant face without honorifics, I thought that it was okay because I had eyes when I disinfected it once, I disinfected it again, I wanted to go home with an arrogant attitude, but I said that I tried things So I placed an order and waited. Soon after, the next customer might be acquainted with a group of local young people, and the response was different from Unzen while talking about small things. The next customer was from the same outside as me and was serving customers with the same high-pressure attitude as I was. Perhaps I'm tingling with infection control, but Mr. Ova, on the other hand, doesn't have a mask, and the only one who wears a mask is someone from the same outside as me. If you feel so irritated, you should take careful measures against infection with a mask and face guard, or do not let anyone other than the locals enter the store. The essential food is the shop's original champuru that contains bitter gourd etc., but the price is bullish at ¥ 1300, the taste is not good, the cuts of vegetables are rough and it is too big to eat, it is a big serving that feels more competitive than quality was. The customer service is bad and the food is not good enough so I don't use it anymore. When I told my acquaintance about this, he said that he would be treated in the same way and would never go again. If you are going to use it, please be prepared to use it. (Original) 入店して早々に高圧的な態度のオバさんが 「父島の人?違うよね?2週間以上居るの?」 と言われ違います観光ですと伝えると 「一番奥座って消毒して」 と敬語も無く嫌な顔で案内されました、一度消毒した際に目があったので大丈夫かと思いきや、再度消毒をしました、横柄な態度で帰りたくなったが、物は試しにという事で、注文をして待ちました。 程なくすると次のお客は地元の若い人達のグループで面識があるのか、世間話をしながら対応も雲仙の差でした。 その次のお客は私と同じ外から来た方で私と同じ様に高圧的な態度で接客をしていました。 恐らくは感染対策でピリピリしてるのかと思いますが、一方のオバさんはというとマスク無しで、唯一マスクをしているのは私と同じ外から来た方のみです。 そんなにピリピリするならマスクとフェイスガードで念入りに感染対策をするか、もしくは地元の人以外入店させなければ良いのにと思います。 肝心の食べ物はゴーヤなどが入っているお店オリジナルのチャンプルだが¥1300と強気な価格設定で味はイマイチで野菜のカットも雑でやたら大きくて食べにくい、質より量で勝負な感じのデカ盛りでした。 接客も悪く食事もイマイチでもう利用しません。 この事を知り合いに伝えると、その方も同じ様な接客をされて二度と行かないと言っていました。 これから利用される方は覚悟して利用して下さい。

Auberge Sato, an Italian restaurant located on the island of Ogasawara Maru, offers a delightful dining experience. The owner, who trained at a local sushi establishment, prepares delectable dishes that are both tasty and satisfying. It has become customary for visitors to enjoy their meals here on port entry days. The menu includes two lunch options, one of which is the daily pasta special. For those looking to try something unique to the island, sea turtle is also available.

(Translated by Google) Lunch will be served on the day of Ogasawara Maru's arrival and departure. The dishes prepared by the owner, who trained at a sushi restaurant on the island, are all delicious and satisfying! It has become a routine for us to eat here on the day we arrive at the port. There are two types of lunch, including pasta of the day. You can also eat sea turtles, which are a specialty of the island. The portion may be a little small for big eaters. They also have accommodations and dinner facilities, where you can enjoy delicious course meals! (Original) おがさわら丸の入港日と出港日には、ランチがあります。島のお寿司屋さんで修行したオーナーの作る料理は、どれも美味しくて満足! 入港日にはとりあえずここで腹ごしらえが、ルーチンになっています。 ランチが2種類にその日のパスタなどがあります。島の名物である海亀も食べることができます。 大食いの人にはちょっと量が少ないかもしれないです。 宿やディナーもやっていて、そちらはコースで美味しい食事ができるようです!

(Translated by Google) Stayed here for 4 nights. Individual dishes may be delicious and have a lot of thought put into them, but personally, they didn't suit my taste. The location is good, close to the terminal, shops, and foreshore. There is a charge for the dryer, but laundry is free. There was several weeks worth of dust in the room.

(Translated by Google) I use it every year for work, but if this place is not available, I can change my schedule. I am staying at Auberge Sato. All the meals were delicious and I was completely satisfied without missing a beat. The passion fruit dressing on the salad that comes with the meal is absolutely delicious 😋 If you can stay at Kujira, you can comfortably drink alcohol on the balcony at night. I'm worried that if I tell them too much, they won't be able to stay overnight. (Original) 仕事で毎年利用していますがここが空いてなければスケジュール変更してでも オーベルジュサトウさんへ宿泊しています。 食事は全て美味しく一度もハズレなく大満足です。 食事に出てくるサラダにパッションフルーツドレッシングが最高に美味い😋 くじらに宿泊出来れば夜はバルコニーで気持ちよくお酒が飲めます。 あまり教えると泊まれなくなるのが心配なくらいです。

(Translated by Google) I used it for lunch in July 2022. The pasta made with vegetables grown on the island was delicious. I went right after arriving at Ogasawara Maru, so although it was quite crowded, I didn't have to wait long. There were some reviews about the friendliness of the staff, but that didn't bother me at all. I think I will visit again the next time I go to Chichijima. It was convenient to use Paypay for accounting. (Original) 2022年7月にランチで利用しました。島でとれた野菜をつかったパスタがおいしかったです。おがさわら丸到着後にすぐに行ったので、そこそこ混んでいましたがそんなに待つこともありませんでした。店員さんの愛想が、、というクチコミもありましたが、まったく気になりませんでした。次回父島に行くことがあれば再訪すると思います。会計もPaypayが使えて便利でした。
