[edit] By plane

The islands are covered by a confusing blanket of small airlines.

• Air Nippon operates scheduled flights from Haneda Airport (Tokyo) to Oshima, Miyakejima and Hachijojima.
• New Central Air Services operates semi-regular flights from Chofu Airfield (Tokyo) to Niijima, Oshima and Kozushima.
• Toho Air operates "helimuter" (helicopter commuter) flights under the brand "Tokyo Ai-Land Shuttle" (東京愛らんどシャトル) between Aogashima, Hachijojima, Mikurajima, Oshima and Toshima, timed to match the Air Nippon flights to Hachijojima.

[edit] By boat

Tokai Kisen [1] operates ferries from Takeshiba Terminal (竹芝客船ターミナル) in Tokyo, adjacent to Takeshiba station on the Yurikamome line. There are two main routes:

• Tokyo-Oshima-Toshima-Niijima-Shikinejima-Kozushima
• Tokyo-Miyakejima-Mikurajima-Hachijojima
