Surprisingly Weird Villages You didn’t Know Exist

Miyakejima

The Miyakejima is an island town in the Izy group, southeast of Honshu, Japan. The residents are paid by the government to live there and this is because the town is situated at the base of an active volcano so the people living there were exposed to unnaturally high levels of sulfur.  It is only fair that they would be compensated because living there comes with a risk of being poisoned. The people often wear gas masks to endure the toxic air.
