What would it feel to live inside a volcano? The inhabitants of Aogashima can answer that question. This island is unique because in its center is a dormant volcano.
Aogashima is part of the Izu Islands, 320 kilometers south of Tokyo. The island has 205 inhabitants and belongs to Japan. The island has a peculiar way, with the volcano in the center and a deep valley to the surrounding area. The figure is resembled a donut but reversed. The most curious of all: Aogashima is a volcano within a volcano.
Aogashima is known for having a volcanic caldera within another. So what you have is a giant crater, which is the same island, within a small volcano. That is why the island has this very striking way, as out of a fantasy movie.
To reach Aogashima there are two options: boat and helicopter. However, it is difficult to find a point at which anchor the boat, as there are several cliffs and volcanic rock deposits difficult to navigate around. For all this, Aogashima remains a rarely visited island.
If you go, something you can not miss is a journey to the inner volcano, Otonbu. This volcano is the highest elevation of the island and allows a beautiful and peripheral view.
