Miyake-Jima is an island located in the Izu archipelago, which is part of the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan. It is located approximately 180 kilometers south of Tokyo and is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. The island is relatively small, measuring only 8.7 kilometers in length and 4.3 kilometers in width. It is home to approximately 2,500 people, mostly fishermen, and is known for its abundance of natural beauty and outdoor activities.
The island is composed of two volcanoes, Mount Oyama and Mount Mihara, which are both active. In 2000, Mount Oyama erupted, forcing the entire population of the island to evacuate for several months. The island has since been declared safe for residents and tourists alike.
Miyake-Jima is known for its stunning beauty and its variety of activities. It is home to a number of beaches, including the popular Kominato Beach, as well as several hot springs. There are also numerous hiking trails and a variety of wildlife, including the rare Izu Island Thrush.
The island has a long history, dating back to the Jomon period (10,000-300 BC). During the Edo period (1603-1868), the island was used as a place of exile for criminals. In the 20th century, the island was used as a military base by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.
Today, Miyake-Jima is a popular tourist destination and is known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. It is also a great place to explore the history of Japan, as there are a number of sites of historical significance on the island.
