Anejima

Located at coordinates 26.553889, 142.156944, Anejima features diverse landscapes with dense vegetation, hills, and marine environments that support various endemic species.

The island experienced human settlement from 1894 to 1944, when inhabitants engaged in pig and goat farming before departing during World War II.

The island retains evidence of past settlements through remaining structures and pathways, reflecting the historical patterns of human interaction with nature.

Access to Anejima requires special arrangements as no regular transportation services operate to this protected natural reserve within the Ogasawara archipelago.

The complete absence of human residents since 1944 has allowed natural processes to reclaim the island, creating an undisturbed environment for scientific research.
