• Ōshima 90.29 km²
• Hachijojima 68.82 km² The flight from Haneda lasts less than an hour, but the wind on approach already tells you something has changed.
• Miyakejima 54.95 km² The ferry from Takeshiba arrives once a day, and the small propeller plane from Chōfu lands three times.
• Niijima 22.87 km² The ferry from Takeshiba takes the better part of an afternoon, and by the time the white cliffs come into view, the mainland's frequencies have already faded.
• Mikurajima 20.27 km² The ferry does not always land.
• Kozushima 18.16 km² The lava dome of Tenjōsan rises near the center of the island, its slopes opening into expanses of pale sand the locals call the front and back deserts.
• Aogashima 5.92 km² The connecting boat from Hachijōjima does not always arrive.
• Toshima 4.02 km² The ferry approaches a single concrete pier set against cliffs that rise straight from the sea.

• Chichijima 23.38 km² The ferry from Takeshiba leaves once every six days, and the crossing takes the better part of a day and night.
• Hahajima 19.82 km² The ferry from Chichijima takes roughly two hours, and by the time the boat docks, the mainland feels like a rumor.
• Minamitorishima 1.46 km² A triangular patch of coral and sand sits in the open Pacific, far from any other landfall, its highest point barely rising above the reach of a strong wave.
