Aogashima Volcano, Japan

Aogashima Volcano is a volcano located on an island, Aogashima Island. Aogashima is a part of the Izu Islands, about 300 kilometers south of Tokyo, in the Philippine Sea. Aogashima and its residents are part of Japanese citizens and managed by Tokyo.

Aogashima Island has a unique shape. Have you ever seen an upside down pudding on a plate? Such is the shape. The pudding valley section is a volcanic crater. Aogashima volcano is also an active volcano. However, this did not dampen people's intention to live in Aogashima's crater. True, in the crater there are around 209 inhabitants (as of 2009).


There, residents live far from the modern world. Aogashima residents concern themselves with outdoor activities such as:

    This activity is the most popular activity in the community. Moreover, around Aogasima Island there are clean and clear blue waters. Mountain climbing.
    This is done while climbing the mountain. Public Sauna. Hot steam around the center of the island is used by residents as a sauna.

Unfortunately, access to and out of the island is very limited. Aogashima Crater can only be obtained in two ways, helicopters or ferries. But when you get there you can enjoy the beauty of Aogashima's crater while walking around. Just don't forget to keep an eye on the weather before touring the island.
