About This Collection

Some places are defined not only by where they are,
but by the journey required to reach them.

The Ogasawara Islands lie nearly 1,000 kilometers south of Tokyo, accessible only by sea. Reaching Chichijima means crossing the Pacific Ocean on a voyage of approximately twenty-five hours—a journey that gradually separates travelers from the rhythm of everyday life.

Photographed in 2013, this collection follows that entire experience, from departing Yokohama Harbor to arriving on the island, exploring its quiet streets, dramatic coastlines, lush forests, and the wartime remains hidden beneath the landscape. It concludes with the long voyage home, completing a journey that is as memorable as the destination itself.

More than a documentary of a remote island, these photographs preserve the experience of traveling to one of Japan's most isolated places—a visual record of a voyage where the passage across the sea becomes part of the story.
