Iwo Jima renamed Iwo To

But it's not actually such a big thing. Both names are "spelled" the same. (In the Japanese writing system, anyway) They're just pronounced differently.

This led to the mistaken name, Iwo Jima. The name, "Iwo Jima" came from the mistaken reading of a map or two.

So, Iwo To is the correct name, as far as history and the locals are concerned.

So perhaps you should count this as a good thing.
