I'm heading back to Tokyo via Ferry from Hachijojima Island.
The trip takes about 11-12 hours and costs ¥10,060 (about $92) for 2nd class B tickets (the cheapest one).
There are vending machines galore onboard as well as a restaurant, buy tickets from the vending machine and find your own seat, cafeteria style.
I flew from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Hachijojima 10 days ago (1 hour / ¥13,500 or $120) but boat is convenient if you want to camp. The ferry pier at Hachijojima is only a 200 meter walk to the free camping area.
SUPER CHATS! (Thank you!)

For the vending machines...or Dramamine. 🤣
(Vending machine -- but I didn't have ID to buy a beer! Requires a drivers license in Japan!)

Have a beer on me, John! You have earned it!
(Thank you! I couldn't buy a beer because the machine required a driver's license! I did eat two meals on board at the restaurant - not bad food on the ferry!)

Hey John! where are you today? I thought you got to Tokyo already. Didn't you take a helicopter back to Tokyo? 🤔
(Thanks Stephanie! The heli only goes 80km from Aogashima to Hachijojima. From there I took a ferry - next day. It was a long trip!)

Looks like you got a little sun. thanks for sharing your adventures!
(I got a ton! No where to hide when you're out of the jungle on the island. Was an amazing experience I can't wait to edit and upload that!)

Have a great trip back to Tokyo! Thanks for all of your work at Aogashima, and bringing that remote area of Japan to us.
(Thank you Jim! I'm glad you could join me for this mini adventure on the island.)
