A short article from ToFuGu on which unusual and beautiful Japanese island:Izu island.
In Phillipine Sea , there is a tropical ,volcanic island which called Aogashima (blue island).
Aogashima is governed by Tokyo , while it over 200 miles away from the country's capital.
Aogashima isn't narrow place in the world, which you might imagine.This year, actually ,only about 200 people live on the island. It only has one post office and school.
Two ways to send you to the island : by helicopter or by boat.There's only one, small harbor where the boats go in and out, it seems a little bit unreliable.Becasue remote and isolated are the characters of Aogashima ,so that it can be hard to get a boat to or from the island safely sometimes.
A fellow named Izuyan has been traveling to isolated islands of Japan and taking excellent photos. Here's his Flickr set for Aogashima.
