American forces maintained a base on Iwo through the Korean War. The island was a U.S. territory under military control until it was returned to Japan in 1968. The last American presence, a Coast Guard unit, left the island in October 1993. Today the island is a Japanese Self Defense Force base. It is off limits to tourists, aside for the annual memorial services once a year.
