Ogasawara National Park

Located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,000 km (600 miles) south of Tokyo's city center, nearly the entire area of the Ogasawara Archipelago is designated as part of the Ogasawara National Park.
The archipelago is made up of oceanic islands that have never formed part of any continent. For this reason, the Ogasawara Islands are home to such unique flora and fauna that they are dubbed the "Galapagos of the Orient". Rare flowers in primary shades, flitting birds, whales, and other natural wonders allow visitors to sample the wilds of Japan's southern lands.
