Q. What is the name of the islands in the Sea of Japan that are referred to as Dokdo in South Korea?
Answer: Takeshima
Notes: The islands known as Dokdo in South Korea are a point of contention between South Korea and Japan. They consist of two main islands and 35 smaller islets. The name "Dokdo" translates to "isolated island," while Japan calls them "Takeshima," meaning "bamboo island." The dispute is rooted in historical claims and potential natural gas reserves in the surrounding waters.
