For @todayintokyo, who likes Nagasaki seaside but doesn’t want to see fish ;) A delicious rice flour bread roll for breakfast on a short boat tour. We went to see this island, which is officially named Hashima but commonly known as Gunkanjima (Battleship Island) because, well, look at it!
Hashima is now a ghost town, but it was settled as an offshore mining facility in the late 1880s and abandoned upon the depletion of coal in the 1970s. It is a super eerie place to visit, and entry/tours are strictly regulated both because of rough sea conditions and because the buildings are in such a state of disrepair. We visited two days after the very serious Typhoon 14, so we were unable to go ashore this time, but I should dig up my pictures from 2010......

Me and my boyfriend went to a Kyushu trip for 3 nights and 4 days.
We stayed at a Hakata hotel then go around inside Fukuoka, then Aso and Nagasaki by car the next days. Because we have rented a car for the whole 3 days, we go to places that are just too far if we go by train/bus.
We didn't plan on going to Nagasaki, but my idea of visiting Gunkanjima intrigues my boyfriend.

Anyways, Gunkanjima was great. There was nothing but ruins but you can see how lively it was during its peak. I heard the first concreted building was built here. Totally the symbol of Japan's advancement.
The guide told us that since the building starting to break down too, we don't know if we can see the same scenery the next time we visit.

Gunkanjima Island:  Once the most densely populated place in the world, this island is now a ghost town. FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD have a history as odd, or as poignant as Gunkanjima’s. The tiny, fortress-like island lies just off the coast of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, covered in tightly packed buildings, and entirely abandoned - a ghost town that has been completely uninhabited for more than forty years. In the early 1900s, Gunkanjima was developed by the Mitsubishi Corporation, which believed - correctly - that the island was sitting on a rich submarine coal deposit. For almost the next hundred years, the mine grew deeper and longer, stretching out under the seabed to harvest the coal that was powering Japan’s industrial expansion. By 1941, the island, less than one square kilometer in area, was producing 400,000 tonnes of coal per year. And many of those working slavishly in the undersea mine were forced laborers from Korea. Even more remarkable than the mine was the city that had grown up around it. To accommodate the miners, ten-story apartment complexes were built up on the tiny rock - a high-rise maze linked together by courtyards, corridors, and stairs. There were schools, restaurants, and gaming houses, all encircled by the protective seawall. The island became known as “Midori nashi Shima,” the island without green. Amazingly, by the mid-1950s, it housed almost six thousand people, giving it the highest population density the world has ever known. And then the coal ran out. Mitsubishi closed the mine, everyone left, and this island city was abandoned, left to revert back to nature. The apartments began to crumble, and for the first time, in the barren courtyards, green things started to grow. Broken glass and old newspapers blew over the streets. The sea-breeze whistled through the windows. Now, fifty years later, the island is exactly as it was just after Mitsubishi left. A ghost town in the middle of the sea.

"Hòn đảo ma" giữa biển khơi Nhật Bản trở thành di sản văn hóa thế giới của UNESCO
“Hòn đảo ma” giữa biển khơi Nhật Bản trở thành di sản văn hóa thế giới của UNESCO
“Hòn đảo ma” nổi tiếng ghê rợn của Nhật Bản được UNESCO vinh danh làm Di sản Văn hóa thế giới. Để làm được chuyện đó, tất nhiên là cả một sự nỗ lực không ngừng. Nhật Bản là đất nước của cảnh sắc, văn hóa và ẩm thực, cùng vô vàn những yếu tố thu hút khách du lịch. Trong đó phải kể đến một địa điểm nằm ngoài khơi Nagasaki, nơi từng được sử dụng làm bối cảnh cho một bộ phim của chàng “Điệp viên…

Isla Gunkanjima - Nagasaki, Japón
Una vez el lugar más densamente poblado del mundo, esta isla es ahora una ciudad fantasma. POCOS LUGARES EN EL MUNDO tienen una historia tan extraña o tan conmovedora como la de Gunkanjima.
La pequeña isla con forma de fortaleza se encuentra
justo frente a la costa de Nagasaki. La isla está rodeada por un muro de mar, cubierta de edificios muy abarrotados, y completamente abandonada, un pueblo fantasma que ha estado completamente deshabitado durante más de cuarenta años.
A principios de 1900, Gunkanjima fue desarrollado por la Mitsubishi Corporation, que creía correctamente que la isla estaba sobre un rico yacimiento de carbón submarino.
Durante casi cien años, la mina creció cada vez más profunda y más larga, extendiéndose bajo el lecho marino para cosechar el carbón que estaba alimentando la expansión industrial de Japón. En 1941, la isla, con menos de un kilómetro cuadrado de superficie, estaba produciendo 400.000 toneladas de carbón al año.
Y muchos de los que trabajaban esclavizadamente en la mina submarina eran trabajadores forzados de Corea. Incluso más notable que la mina fue la ciudad que había crecido alrededor de ella.
Para acomodar a los mineros, se construyeron complejos de apartamentos de diez pisos sobre la pequeña roca - un laberinto de gran altura unido por patios, pasillos y escaleras. Había escuelas, restaurantes y casas de juego, todos rodeados por el muro protector. La isla se conoció como "Midori nashi Shima", la isla sin verde.
Sorprendentemente, a mediados de la década de 1950, albergaba a casi seis mil personas, lo que le da la mayor densidad de población que el mundo haya conocido. Y luego el carbón se acabó. Mitsubishi cerró la mina, todos se fueron, y esta ciudad insular fue abandonada, dejada para volver a la naturaleza.
Los apartamentos comenzaron a desmoronarse, y por primera vez, en los patios áridos, cosas verdes comenzaron a crecer. Vidrios rotos y periódicos viejos soplaron por las calles. La brisa del mar silbó a través de las ventanas.
Ahora, cincuenta años después, la isla está exactamente como estaba justo después de que Mitsubishi se fuera. Un pueblo fantasma en medio del mar.
