A Japanese city built inside of an active volcano might seem precarious, but the residents who call it home don't seem to care.
. And for many within the Japanese city, the active volcano beneath their feet is just part of their lives. Despite being considered active, the volcano hasn’t experienced a major eruption since 1785, when it decimated the island population.That eruption hasn’t changed just how idyllic and beautiful the island is, though, or how many people flock to call it home.
Despite the risk, many local citizens consider the island a perfect place to live. As one islander says, “no one can win over nature.” It’s easy to see why so many are still content to call Aogashima home. The island is absolutely beautiful and provides a paradise to call home, so long as you can overlook the ticking time bomb of volcanic mass beneath your feet.
The hope is that the volcano will continue to keep its peaceful nature, allowing the people within the Japanese city to continue enjoying their little slice of paradise. If things should change, though, the islanders seem more than willing to take their chances with the tremors that might one day lead to a full-blown explosion of lava and fire.
And, honestly, who can blame them? Aogashima is so beautiful I might even be tempted to call some place like it home, even with the added risk. After all, this tiny Japanese city isn’t the only one
