Hirajima, Volcanic islet in Ogasawara Village, Japan

Hirajima stands as a remote islet within the Hahajima Islands group, positioned at coordinates 26.585556°N and 142.154444°E in the Pacific Ocean.

The Ogasawara Islands, including Hirajima, underwent American administration after World War II until their return to Japanese sovereignty in 1968.

The islet forms part of the Ogasawara archipelago, where traditional fishing methods and marine resource management practices continue through generations.

Access to Hirajima requires coordination with local ferry services departing from the main Ogasawara ports, subject to weather and seasonal conditions.

The island contributes to the UNESCO World Heritage designation of Ogasawara Islands through its undisturbed natural environment and endemic species.
