Remote island aims to attract tourists through sport climbing

Photo taken in October 2015 shows people enjoying bouldering at a recreational center in Miyake Island in the Izu island chain south of Tokyo. The island, which was completely evacuated in the summer of 2000 following a series of eruptions by Mt. Oyama, aims to attract tourists by promoting sport climbing, which will be proposed as an additional sport for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
