From place to place, exploring this beautiful Earth. That is
what we are doing in this blog. Now, I have got the opportunity to share one of
my favorites: Located in Japan, The Aogashima Volcano/Island.
You may have heard of Hachijojima Island, but most of you (also
most of Japanese even) have never heard of Aogashima Island near the island. The
island is located 358 km away to the south from Tokyo city center. It is still
under the Tokyo city government administration but, with it’s around 160
villagers, is the smallest village in Japan.
The island is one of the mysterious islands with beautiful
nature. It is a volcanic island 3.5 km in length with a width of 2.5 km, formed
by the remains of several calderas.
Since the population in this island is so small there is one
post office and one primary/Jr high school.
With only 160 people living, there is only one postal
address to this island and the post worker delivers based on "name"
of individual. With some people have the same family names...tough job for
her/him.
Now let’s say that you want to visit the Island, how would
you get there? There is no direct transport from the main island of Japan to
Aogashima. You need to go to Hachijojima (which is 70km away from Aogashima)
first and then take a helicopter or ship.
Once you arrive to Aogashima, You will be stunned with its
beauty. Beauty that enlightens and represents our mother nature, and our
beautiful home.
I've been to Japan twice and have always wanted to go there, but my dad has never wanted to. On my next trip to Japan I will make it to the island with or without my fasha.
