Insularity and Geographic Diversity of the Peripheral Japanese Islands by Akitoshi Hiraoka
The islands are also getting attention as sightseeing locales and emigration regions attracting those who prefer country life-an image of the islands that has been created by the romanticized gaze from the Japanese mainland.

He has conducted research on these subjects that is presented in the many books he has published. In 2004, he established a study group engaged in research of remote island regions. As the organizer of the group, he has carried out extensive research into human geography. Professor Hiraoka has been a member of the Association of Japanese Geographers, the Human Geographical Society of Japan, the Association of Historical Geographers in Japan, and the Japan Association on Geographical Space for many years.
