Ogasawara Islands was named as a World Natural Heritage site by the UNESCO in 2011. It is an oceanic island which has never belonged to the continent.The plants and animals of the island have therefore enjoyed an evolution unique to the island's environment.
The Ogasawara Maru is a 6700-ton, 131-meter (430-foot) cargo-and-passenger ship sailing between Tokyo and Chichijima ("Father Island") in the Ogasawara archipelago, a journey of about 1000 kilometers (621 miles). Because the trip is over open water, the ship may indeed sway a bit from time to time. But be assured that the ship was designed specifically for this route; it is driven by two high-output engines and is equipped with a fin stabilizer that greatly reduces rolling (side-to-side sway).
Travel time for the approximately 1000-kilometer (621-mile) journey is about 25½ hours. The trip may take longer, however, if ocean conditions are poor.
