016Hahajima Tourist Association https://hahajima.com/Nose’s Farm Gardenhttps://www.nosefarm.com/The southern tip of Hahajima is the southernmost inhabited part of Japan. In the past, it was a breeding ground for brown boobies, but the birds’ population was then decimated by predation from feral cats locally known as noneko. Following an initiative in which licensed participants captured noneko, in 2014 the brown booby was seen nesting in the area once more. The captured noneko are shipped from Ogasawara to Honshu where they are fostered out to new owners. Efforts are also necessary to eradicate the bishop wood tree, an alien species already having a grave effect on Ogasawara’s ecosystems and native species. Currently, due to the pandemic, this initiative is on hold, but in future visitors may be able to participate in a volunteer tour to remove bishop wood trees and help protect the local ecosystems with their own hands.Ogasawara was home to Japan’s first attempts at coffee cultivation in 1878. In 1972, after the Second World War and the period of American rule, the fourth-generation descendent of that original coffee plantation reclaimed its fields from the jungle they had become and restarted cultivation efforts. Virtually every step in the process is done by hand, and except for some beans sold by mail the only place where Ogasawara coffee can be drunk is at a cafe on Chichijima and on a coffee tour of Nose’s Farm Garden.The tour is a 2.5-hour experience and usually includes picking beans, collecting shoots, threshing, removing imperfect beans, roasting, milling, drip-brewing, and finally drinking the finished result (precise details of the tour depend on the season). The coffee has a light, crisp mouthfeel, so Nose’s Farm Garden recommends using plenty of beans to extract the most flavor and fragrance. You’ll enjoy and appreciate a cup all the more when you know how much care has gone into it.
