Hashima Island tours can be taken from Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
Hashima Island is commonly known as Gunkanjima, and from the outside it looks like a battleship.
It supported Japan's coal mining industry, but fell into ruin as the energy shifted to oil.
Part of it is now recognized as a World Heritage Site.
Only tour participants who are lucky enough to find calm seas can land here.
There you will find Japan's oldest concrete apartment building and traces of a solid life.
This uninhabited island is a place where anyone can travel back in time.
