What's the easternmost place in Asia?

The easternmost part of Asia is actually the island of Attu. Attu is off the coast of Alaska, but so far west it crosses into Asia. Look it up.

Tongue-in-cheek answer:

The easternmost place in Asia is where the Russian Far East touches the 180° meridian. It’s actually a line of over 400 km (estimated by grabbing coordinates from the southern coast to the northern coast and taking the difference in latitude) which also happens to form part of the easternmost land on Earth.

Just a step away is (are) the westernmost point(s) of Asia at 179.999…° W. So you can have the distinction of standing on the westernmost and easternmost points of a continent at the same time.

If you are only talking about the non-Russian part of Asia, then the answer would be Minami Torishima which located in 24°16′59″N 153°59′11″E
It’s very near to Iwo Jima and has a alias “Marcus Island”.

In the map below Minami Torishima is marked with “A”. You can compare it with the red line, which is actually the easternmost area of Indonesia.

It’s not Japan, it is Russia!

Wikipedia has a good article about extreme points of Eurasia.
