If the creepy image of thousands of people wearing gas masks doesn’t freak you out at least a little bit, then by all means, book a trip to Miyake-jima. A postcard from this volcanic rock of post-apocalyptic doom would have more in common with a Mad Max publicity still than the Land of the Rising Sun you’re used to. Back in 2000, the island’s main volcano, Mount Oyama, spewed toxic gas everywhere, forcing the evacuation of every person who lived there and turning Miyake-jima into a ghost town. When people were finally allowed back in 2005, they were mandated to carry gas masks at all times, should levels of poisonous gas rise unexpectedly.

Besides active volcanoes and creepy children running around wearing gas masks, there’s a disturbing amount of sulphur that leaks out of the ground everywhere, causing the entire place to reek of farts -- a flatulent warning sign imploring you to get the hell out.
