Picture Japan.
Maybe you imagine the amphitheater of neon noise that surrounds Shibuya’s scramble crossing. Or a glistening temple rooftop poking through a serene morning mist in Higashiyama.
Both of these postcard-scapes can be witnessed in Japan’s two most famous cities—Tokyo and Kyoto—located on Honshu, one of the country’s four main islands along with Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu.
But Honshu only accounts for 88,020 out of the 142,000 square miles that make up Japan. So what about the rest? We’re talking about the thousands of stunning islands that dangle in an emerald chain from the windswept national parks in the north to the tropical Edens in the south; largely uncharted destinations home to some of Japan’s, if not the world’s, most unique travel experiences.
In partnership with Jeenie, a mobile app which provides live translation in Japanese and other languages, we’ve narrowed down five of the most remote yet rewarding islands you can explore in Japan.

I really don't see the point of this kind of article. Does it really serve anyone's purpose (especially the islanders) to have hoards of foreigners trampling all over these magnificent places? The islands are there and people can find them for themselves if they make their own efforts. But please think twice before destroying them.
