At Ogasawara World Heritage Centre, we’re holding a holiday event “Let’s find burrows of tiger beetle larvae and get the prize” from today until May 6th. During this perod, we also set a reading space with several books regarding insects. If you’re wondering what to do on the island, please come and visit us!

Currently, we are seeking volunteers who could join us to eliminate non-native plants growing on Minamijima Island on May 7th. This is your chance to be involved in a conservation work protecting nature of Ogasawara Islands as a World Heritage site. Maximum 20 volunteers are wanted on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested in, please call at 04998-2-2270 (Environment Section, Ogasawara Village).

This website has been renewed and released to the public as the website of the Ogasawara World Heritage Centre. In addition to information on the World Heritage Centre, we will share a wide range of information on the nature of Ogasawara and Natural World Heritage sites.
