Self-Defense Forces personnel waving flags on Mount Suribachi on Iwo-to.

Iwo-jima is the name of an island in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Iwo-to is the correct reading of the kanji for this island in Tokyo.
Google Maps and several other overseas media outlets are disseminating incorrect information.
The participation fee is over 20,000 yen per session. It is held every June, so it sometimes coincides with events on Singapore’s inhabited islands.



Ira, a college student, participated with a student discount.
硫黄島:Iwo to


You may be able to capture the entire scene by shooting in wide panorama mode. It was quite wide.


Flowers (chrysanthemums) will be distributed on the deck. There will be about an hour between the distribution and the actual offering (throwing the flowers into the sea).


The highest point on Iwo Jima. Self-Defense Forces personnel waved the national flag here.
硫黄島:Geothermal energy in Iwo to
The intense geothermal heat can be felt even on the deck. The temperature underground is about 70 degrees Celsius.
Self-Defense Forces personnel and related personnel are carrying out Japan’s defense duties every day under these harsh conditions.
If we don’t increase their salaries with tax money, the number of future personnel will continue to decrease.
First, I want them to improve the treatment of people. Instead of building roads in places where only one person passes by a month, I want them to repair roads that need repair. In Japan, there are calls for transparency in the decision-making process for how taxes are spent.


The weather was fine, which was ideal for photography. There was a slight mist in the air.

硫黄島:When you go on a cruise to Iwo Jima, Self-Defense Forces personnel will welcome you by waving the national flag.


The announcement on the ship said, “They are waving their hands,” so if you have a telephoto lens, you should be able to see their movements clearly.


硫黄島:Iwo to’s research book
It was sold at the Ogasawara Maru shop. I think it cost around 600 yen. It is a book based on interviews with Iwo Jima residents over many years. I bought it. Using the realistic information about Iwo Jima that I learned from this book, I would like to promote awareness of the island overseas through my manga, Maharaji.


硫黄島:Iwo to and Manga Maharajima



The Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands appear in Chapter 3 and beyond.
The protagonists are ordinary citizens who cannot land on Iwo to, but they have the opportunity to interact with the Maharabito of Iwo Jima through the authority of the Maharabito.
