This is the cheapest and healthiest way to get around
on Hachijo. Many and varied are the trails here. Hachijo
hiking trails range in difficulty and length from short
and easy hikes to cross mountain trekking. Hiking trail
maps can be picked up from the tourist information centre.
Cycling off road is not reccommended as this is a National
Park but the mountainous back roads are exciting enough,
and you are never too far from a place to swim. Rental
bikes are available but probably without gears! Both
ferry and flight services have a minimal surcharge for
bicycles.
