About

Otōtojima, Otōto-jima, or Otōto Jima (弟島, meaning Younger Brother Island), is an uninhabited island in the Chichijima archipelago of Japan's Ogasawara Islands. During the Meiji and Taishō eras between 50 and 100 people lived on the island, but it was deserted in 1944. The island is off-limits for tourists.
