Meijima, Protected island in Ogasawara Village, Japan

Meijima stands as a natural formation within the Hahajima Islands group, featuring untouched landscapes and native vegetation across its terrain.

The island played a role in 19th-century maritime routes between Asia and North America, serving as a navigation point for vessels.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods around Meijima's waters, continuing practices passed down through generations in the Ogasawara region.

Access to Meijima requires advance planning and coordination with local transportation services, as the island has restricted accessibility throughout the year.

The waters surrounding Meijima contain specific marine species that demonstrate the isolation and ecological evolution of this Pacific Ocean territory.
