Oki Daitō Island, Remote coral island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.
The triangular island extends across 1.19 square kilometers with steep limestone cliffs reaching 31 meters above the Philippine Sea.
Spanish navigator Bernardo de la Torre first documented the island in 1543 during his journey from the Philippines to Mexico.
The island supported 2000 inhabitants who developed a mining community centered around phosphate extraction until World War II.
The uninhabited island remains private property of Rasa Industries and requires special permission for access to its limestone terrain.
The Japan Self-Defense Forces conduct military exercises on this remote outpost, situated 110 kilometers from neighboring Minamidaitōjima.
