To the east of the Japanese Archipelago is the Ogasawara Islands, located in the Western Pacific Ocean. A remnant of the former Japanese Empire's vast island territories in the Pacific. It remains under Japanese control and a bastion for the JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self Defense Forces) as well as the JGSDF (Japanese Ground Self Defense Force).

A truly beautiful Island Paradise !

Just a shame we lost our Pacific Islands to America in the war. Many of the islands, like Palau and Northern Marianas were heavily populated by Japanese in the early 20th century.

Northern Marianas , especially, were ours for such a long time; Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Rota, and the other smaller islands --- all of these were Japanese.

Anyways, there is still a considerable number of Japanese people that still live in Northern Marianas.

Hahaha ! Japanese smile, bro. ;) ;)

Seriously tho, yes, the Japanese community in the Northern Marianas still speak Japanese, tho they are also fluent in the native Chammoro dialect (it is an Austronesian dialect, sounds very similar to eastern Visayan dialect in Philippines called Waray-Waray-an, and Sigbuhanon), also they speak English.
 
I just noticed very nice eye candy :D


Buddy, you need to visit the Pacific islands then !

Anyways, some of the islands in Japanese Pacific are like perfect for scuba diving or snorkeling.

The Ogasawara Islands, for example, is renowned for scuba diving ...
