No Man's Land Gunkanjima, Nagasaki Prefecture

#MarchGoodPlaces2025
If you want to explore the history of Nagasaki, you must go to Gunkanjima. During the Meiji period, people reclaimed land to mine the seabed coal resources near Hashima Island and built an island called Gunkanjima that is very similar in shape to a warship. In its heyday, the island was densely populated and filled with reinforced concrete buildings, but after the mine was closed in 1974, the island has been deserted and officially became a ruin.
Decades of forgotten time have made every corner of the island filled with the most authentic desolate atmosphere. The remains of the buildings reveal the unknown history nakedly, which will definitely make history fans, ruins fans and photography fans immerse themselves in it and linger for a long time! But you have to follow a local tour to get to the island!
