Japan's various small island groups
Hahajima, Ogasawara Islands,
Japan
The Izu, Ogasawara, and Volcano Islands stretching roughly 500 miles south and east from the Izu Peninsula of Honshu, Japan. Administratively, the islands are organized into towns and villages; all are technically part of Tokyo Prefecture.
The Ogasawara and Volcano islands were mostly discovered by the Spanish in the 16th century, then vaguely claimed by the United States and Britain, but were then formally annexed by the Japanese in 1876 and 1891, respectively. The only inhabited island in the Volcano chain is Io-to, which during the Second World War was the site of bloody fighting between the U.S. Marine Corps and the Imperial Japanese Army.
