The Devil’s Sea, frequently referred to as the Dragon’s Triangle, is a region of the Pacific Ocean located south of Tokyo that is often compared to the Bermuda Triangle for its history of unexplained disappearances. While the boundaries are not officially defined on government charts, the area is generally conceptualized as a triangle connecting three major points: the southern coast of mainland Japan near the Izu Islands, the Ogasawara Islands to the southeast, and extending westward toward the northern tip of the Philippine Sea near Taiwan. Another common interpretation stretches the southern apex further to include Yap in Micronesia.
The region has gained a reputation as a Vile Vortex due to intense electromagnetic anomalies and frequent undersea volcanic activity. These geological forces are known to cause the sudden appearance and disappearance of small islands, which contributes to the area’s navigational hazards and mythological status as a home for dragons. High-profile incidents, such as the 1952 loss of the Japanese research vessel Kaiyo Maru No. 5 near the Ogasawara chain, have fueled persistent theories regarding interdimensional gateways and unusual weather phenomena.

Registered by: Vortex Hunter #62 – 08.23.11 – “The Devil’s Sea, also known as the Dragon’s Triangle, the Formosa (Taiwan) Triangle and the Pacific Bermuda Triangle, is a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. The size and area varies with the report (the only reports stem from the 1950s), with various reports placing it 70 miles (110 km) from an unspecified part of Japan’s east coast, 300 miles (480 km) from the coast, and even near Iwo Jima, 750 miles (1,210 km) from the coast.”
Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
