Small uninhabited island has disappeared in Japan

The Japan Coast Guard says a small uninhabited island off the northern prefecture of Hokkaido may have disappeared due to erosion by waves and floating ice. The island named Esanbe Hanakita Kojima, about 500 meters off the village of Sarufutsu in northern Hokkaido, may have vanished.

The Coast Guard received a report from residents of the village earlier in October that the island could no longer be seen. A fisheries association sent out boats in mid-October only to find the island was missing.

Sarufutsu is Japan’s northernmost village, and it faces Sakhalin Island and the Sea of Okhotsk. Its proximity to the Siberian north means that it is affected by drift ice and storms in the wintertime. The Japan Coast Guard believes that it is possible that a combination of ice and wave action may have eroded the island over time. They say the height of the island was about 1.4 meters above sea level when a survey was conducted 31 years ago.

The Japanese government 4 years ago gave an official name to the island, which serves as the basis for the boundary of the country’s territorial waters.

The coast guard plans to carry out a detailed survey, as the apparent disappearance of the island could reduce Japan’s territorial waters.

Islands do occasionally disappear, and the phenomenon is becoming more common in the South Pacific: the Solomon Islands recently lost five uninhabited reef islands due to a combination of erosion and sea level rise, along with large parts of six others.

    • 124 year old books mentioned about Trump? Yes, it did. I have to tell you that those Reptilians or Draco Reptilians have not died for long time, I mean centuries. If they face complete death, they have to face the real GOD judgement to be transfered into the lower dimension where you can call Hell. In order to avoid death, those reptilians have created their cloned bodies. Then they have taken over those cloned bodies for centuries. After their clone body worned out and died, they take over and wear a new clone body. So it is not strange that you see some very similar or identical pictures of present living (Reptilian) people more than a century ago.

      Princess Diana told her spiritual counselor and her friends “The Royal family has never died. Queen Elizabeth has never died for centuries. She is Queen Victoria, and then become Queen Elizabeth. Those Reptilians create clones and take over those cloned bodies for centuries.”

        May 5, 2011 under Dallas – Fort Worth Internationa Airport, there was NASA Secret Underground Facility, and had been attacked by Galactic Federation of Light because NASA Reptilian Force including US Air Force stole the Ancient Reptilian UFO Vimana from a cave in Afganistan. Then they started re-assembling Vimana in order to fight against Galactic Federation of Light. That was why GFL spaceships attacked and killed 500 technicians and military reptilians in that secret military and NASA underground base in Texas.

      • I would like to mention about the creator of this UFO attack video. You should be familiar of his voice. His voice sounded like the voice of President Obama! Do you agree?

  1. It is funny that Japanese Government is calling those rocks “island”. As long as those rocks are over the sea level, they can keep the larger Sea Territory. They might extend those rocks by adding some concrete. They actually did to some rocks in the middle of Pacific Ocean, and made it “island”.

    The Japanese government is to spend Y13 billion (HK$838.3 million) on rebuilding facilities on Okinotorishima, a tiny atoll 1,740 km south of Tokyo that helps to extend Japan’s exclusive economic zone into the Pacific Ocean.
