City of Aogashima The city of Aogashima which sits within a volcanic crater in the Philippine Sea. A far-flung volcanic island 358km south of Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean, Aogashima is the most remote and topographically interesting island in the Izu archipelago. The entire island is a volcanic crater, within which there is another, smaller volcano. Still largely untouched by tourism, Aogashima is the ultimate destination for nature-lovers, explorers and outdoorsy types. The only way to reach Aogashima is via Hachijojima, a larger island 70km north. Hachijojima has an airport and can be reached by air or boat from Tokyo. The current shape of the island dates back to a big eruption in 1785, after which Aogashima was uninhabited for 50 years. Today there is a population of some 170 people. Accommodation is limited to a few small B&Bs or the free island campsite. The campsite has minimal facilities, but there is a geothermal sauna nearby where you can also shower and relax. Outside the facility, there are some geothermal vents for cooking eggs and sweet potatoes, available at the island store.
