	Ogasawara Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ogasawara islands are a part of an island arc known geologically as a 'fore arc'.
		The crust of the Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands was formed by volcanic activity when subduction began about 45-50 million years ago, and is composed mostly of an andesitic volcanic rock called boninite, which is rich in magnesium oxide, chromium, and silicon dioxide.
		Ogasawara was claimed by Japan from the British in 1875 and became part of Tokyo prefecture in 1880.

	Tokyo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tokyo was already the nation's political, economic, and cultural center, and the emperor's residence made it a de facto imperial capital as well with the former Edo Castle becoming the Imperial Palace.
		Tokyo, like Osaka has been designed since about the turn of the century (1900) to be rail-centric, that is centered around major train stations in a high density fashion, so suburban railways were built relatively cheaply at street level.
		Tokyo was rated by the Economist Intelligence Unit as the most expensive (highest cost-of-living) city in the world for 14 years in a row ending in 2006.

	Tokyo travel guide - Wikitravel
		Tokyo is essentially a gigantic (and fascinating) warren of narrow streets with no names which is best explored using a mixture of the excellent mass transit system and your feet.
		Tokyo has a vast array of sights, but the first items on the agenda of most visitors are the temples of Asakusa, the gardens of the Imperial Palace (in Chiyoda) and the Meiji Shrine (in Harajuku).
		Tokyo is probably one of the safest cities you will ever visit, and Japan in general is one of the safest places to visit in the world.

	Okino Torishima
		Okino-Torishima belongs to Ogasawara Village, Tokyo Prefecture, and is Japan's southernmost island.
		This island seems to be a reef, but according to the definition of the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea[1], Okino-Torishima is an island.
		Tokyo Prefecture used to manage, but the Japanese government has directed Okino-Torishima since July 1999 in order to avoid losing the territory, closed sea (territorial waters), and EEZ.

	JPRI Occasional Paper No. 15
		The Ogasawara mashiko, gabicho, and karasubato (brambling, laughing thrush and wood-pigeon), although they are featured on stamps celebrating the islands' natural diversity, disappeared along with the forests that were their home.
		The Ogasawaras are also rich in butterflies, moths, and dragonflies, and, as was only recently realized, some rare and precious kinds of snails, no less than ten of which (including one known as the Anijima katamaimai that was first discovered in 1989) are known to exist only in Anijima.
		The question posed by Ogasawara is how to find a formula for 'development' that will cause the islands to prosper and the residents to be employed in profitable and satisfying tasks without bringing about the destruction of the natural assets that made the islands unique in the first place.

		Small as it is, Tokyo's geographical features are rich in variety, comprising low lands of only four meters above the sea-level and mountainous areas of over 2000 meters.
		In addition to all of the rich culture, the incredible temples, the strikingly beautiful gardens; and the brightly colored festivals in the streets; there is a very modern city with all the business and shopping you could desire.

	Bonin Islands 1999
		The super-organized may care to call the Ogasawara Maru people on 0334515171 to try to dovetail the 2 ships; I suspect this will be difficult with the Kyoshu Maru being unpredictable and the Ogasawara Maru operating on a non-daily basis.
		For 2-3d trips from Tokyo I strongly recomend Karuizawa, which will give you many of the commoner Japanese specialities, and possibly Kyoto, where Kaizu-Ozaki Point on the northern shore of nearby Lake Biwa held a Scaly-sided Merganser in winter 1999 - I think this is not guaranteed annually.
		Miyakejima (an island 160km S of Tokyo, accessible by daily ferry) gave me the Izu Islands Thrush and the Japanese Murrelet (take a small boat to its breeding islets of Sanbondake) in March 1999, tho' I was too early for Ijima's Willow Warbler and Japanese Night Heron.

	Funds growth mutual stock - Funds - Find Best Resources
		When you think of the Ogasawara island chain, think of Bermuda as part and parcel of New York City, or of Madeira as a distant fragment of London; these comparisons pretty much convey the relationship--and contrast--between the monstrous grey metropolis of Tokyo and what is termed Ogasawara-mura--"Ogasawara village," Tokyo's farthest-flung suburb.
		Although they are part of Tokyo, the weekly 26-hour sea voyage that the journey requires means that it takes longer to get from downtown Tokyo to the Ogasawaras than it does to go from Tokyo to just about any other city in the world.
		The original settlers were given Japanese citizenship in 1877, and as the 19th century drew to a close, the islandsbecame a part of Tokyo.
