The Islands Where the Japanese Empire was Born (and Died)

Welcome to Ogasawara! A thousand kilometres into the Pacific, nestled in a jungle cabin, we are searching out untold history. Our first video from these islands takes place near a set of stones that are nearly impossible to find on Google. An incredibly important moment in history, hidden away on a hillside and seemingly unknown even to those living nearby. Join us as we search for Rare Earth, and learn about the Empire of Japan. Also - Please leave feedback! We always are happy to hear what resonates with you. If you aren t subbed, sub. If you are, please enjoy my implied gratitude.
