Ogasawara Municipal Hahajima Elementary and Junior High School

Ogasawara Municipal Hahajima Elementary and Junior High School is a combined educational institution located on Hahajima, the second largest island of the Ogasawara archipelago. The facility serves students from both elementary and secondary levels, making it the primary school serving the island's young population.

The school was established after the Ogasawara Islands returned to Japanese administration in 1968, ending a period of United States control over the territory. Its founding represented part of Japan's effort to rebuild essential services and institutions across the islands following foreign occupation.

Students participate in environmental education programs that incorporate the islands marine diversity and natural resources into their learning experience.

Reaching the school requires a ferry from Tokyo to Chichijima followed by another two-hour boat journey to Hahajima. The island's isolated location means that ferry services are limited and weather conditions can significantly affect travel schedules.

The school integrates local conservation efforts into its curriculum, focusing on the protection of endemic species found only in the Ogasawara Islands.
