Ogasawara has a very diverse and rich history. The first inhabitants to colonize Chichijima came from the West!
The Ogasawara Islands are about 1000 km away from Tokyo. They are made up of over 30 subtropical and tropical islands but only Chichijima (父島 "Father Island") and Hahajima (母島 "Mother Island") are inhabited. Almost the whole area of the islands is included in the Ogasawara National Park, which is full of beautiful nature. You can visit the marine park as well. This is an area known for whale watching. Although the access to the islands is limited to ship, it is always highly popular among tourists.
