The well-known Ruins Island, Gunkanjima (Hashima)
You must book a tour to visit.
There are about four major tour companies, and the prices are roughly the same, around 4,000 yen.
The standards for wave height are quite strict, and I've heard that tours can only set sail about half the days of the year...
So, if you're determined to visit, it's safer to plan for several days to increase your chances!
Being a ruins island, the buildings are deteriorating year by year, with many on the verge of collapse. Even on a tour, the areas you can actually land on are very limited.
Still, you can feel the remnants of its once-thriving past and learn about Japan's history through the tour.
