#151 [Ogasawara] The Prism of Life on Haha-jima Part 3
In this episode, we talk about the second half of our journey to Haha-jima in the Ogasawara Islands. As one of the most remote and challenging destinations to reach in Japan, we share our experiences, the importance of preparation, and the allure of the untouched nature we encountered.
Haha-jima, located even further from Chichi-jima, is truly a secluded island.
This episode features Haha-jima, an island even harder to reach within the Ogasawara Islands. Located about two hours away from Chichi-jima by ferry, this island has a population of only about 450, leaving much of its nature pristine. Throughout our six-day, five-night trip to Haha-jima, we explore the island's unique ecosystem and history.
Proper preparation expands the joy of traveling.
We introduce hiking as a local activity, emphasizing that thorough preparation is essential. By taking small steps—like securing lunches and coordinating travel schedules—the quality of your stay can change significantly. We also share a charming local anecdote about meeting someone, which captures the real essence of the travel experience.
Traveling with a design perspective changes the way you see the scenery.
At the beginning of the episode, we discuss how our recent studies in design relate to traveling. By viewing local culture and nature through a design lens, even familiar landscapes take on entirely new meanings. Please enjoy the deep dive into our journey in the full episode.
