explanation: Tiny island lost in the Pacific Ocean between Tokyo and Guam. At the end of WWII, a fierce battle took place between Americans and Japanese. It was returned back to Japan in 1968 but still inhabited only by servicemen. Its surface is about 20 km2 and you can access there from Ogasawara Island by charting a fishing ship but a permission to land is needed.
