For some strange reasons, there are people who still opt to live in an environment that is unpredictably dangerous like Aogashima Island, a volcanic Japanese island in the Philippine Sea. The active volcano in the island had a devastating history of volcanic eruptions that killed many villagers. Despite this natural threat, around 200 people still live there up to now.

If you’re that adventurous, you may take a tour around this beautifully unspoilt Japanese paradise. The island is so small that you can actually walk around the entire area. While it is easy to navigate the island, reaching there is the most challenging part. The lack of natural harbours, intimidating currents and weather conditions make Aogashima Island difficult to access.
