Double-Caldera Life – Japan’s Hidden Aogashima 🌋
Did you know there’s an island where a village sits inside a volcano that sits inside another volcano and locals steam dinner in natural vents? South of Tokyo, tiny Algashima is a double caldera, a green crater ringed by taller crater walls, all floating in deep blue Pacific. Walk through misty forest to hinga fumar rolls where eggs and sweet potatoes cook in volcanic heat. Then sip island shou under skies so dark the Milky Way looks close enough to touch. There’s no big ferry terminal. Weather decides if boats or the tiny helicopter can land, so crowds never do. Join Iggy the island gecko on Hidden Island secrets for more epic destinations. Follow so you don’t miss the next island adventure.
🌋🥚 Live inside a volcano… inside a volcano! Remote Aogashima (Tokyo’s far isles) hides a double caldera with a village in the inner crater. Steam eggs at geothermal vents, hike ferny trails to ridge views over cobalt seas, and stargaze with zero light pollution. Access is by small ship or helicopter—when the Pacific cooperates.
