Japan’s Weirdest Islands
Did you know Japan has over 14,000 islands? But forget the big ones. Here are the top three most unique you must know. Number three, Tashiroima, the cat island. In Miyagi Prefecture, cats outnumber humans. Hundreds of them roam free. It started in the Edeto period with silkworm farmers using cats to hunt mice. There’s even a cat shrine for good luck. Number two, Okunoshima, aka Rabbit Island. Off Hiroshima, it’s overrun with adorable feral rabbits. No dogs or cats allowed. But here’s the twist. It was a secret World War II poison gas factory. Now visit the museum for its dark history. Number one, Aagashima, the volcanic paradise. Just 170 people live on this remote Tokyo island with a double caldera. It’s still active, surrounded by cliffs, it’s a bird watchers dream and part of a national park. Last big eruption, 1785. Which would you visit? Comment.
