There is a small monument marking the spot at 0:36 into the video.

(The monument on Hateruma Island is misleading, I think.) Here is a link to Okinotorishima's location on Google Maps. Google Maps Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. www.google.com Here is a video of someone power paragliding (!) over Okinotorishima. Here is a video taken from a ship. Last edited: 16 Aug 2021

This was the follow-up video after watching the paragliding one, that has some more information about Okinotorishima (in Japanese)
