Gunkanjima (Hashima Island)

Popularity
Overview

Hashima Island off Nagasaki, Nagasaki Prefecture. Once a thriving seaside city powered by coal mining, its battleship-like silhouette earned it the name 'Gunkanjima' (Battleship Island). After coal closure in 1974, it became uninhabited. Registered as World Heritage in 2015, it stands as a crucial modern industrial heritage site. The labyrinthine ruins of high-rise buildings tell the story of Japan's industrialization.
