An archipelago at the northernmost tip of the Ogasawara Islands in Tokyo. The largest island, Mukojima, is centered on Kitanoshima, Nakodojima, Yomejima, and 19 other small islands, which are distributed over an area of sea measuring 11km east to west and 32km north to south. It belongs to Ogasawara Village, Ogasawara Subprefecture. Before World War II, a few farmers and fishermen lived on Mukojima and Yomejima, but today they are uninhabited. After World War II, the islands came under the control of the United States military, but were returned to Japan in 1968. In 2011, they were registered as a natural World Heritage site.
