"Warship Island (Gunkanjima)", a world heritage site that can only be reached by tour from the Nagasaki Bay area. Its official name is Hashima. Once a coal-mining island and uninhabited island, it has been weathered over the years, its overwhelming scale and its unique atmosphere of old buildings, making it a location for numerous films.

Let's start on board. Enjoy the scenery from the ship.

You can only land on Warship Island by taking a landing tour operated by a shipping company in Nagasaki city. About 40 minutes by cruise ship from the port of Nagasaki, and on days when there is wind, I sometimes wear waves from my head. Nagasaki City view from the boat is also one of the fun.

The moment the warship island is in sight, cheers from the ship!

いよいよ軍艦島が目の前に。島に近づくにつれ、朽ち果てた巨大なコンクリート群が目の前に迫ってくるようで、興奮度はすでにMAXです。

It's finally going ashore. The scene of the warship island's history.

When you go ashore, tour along the route with the guide. The entrance down to the undersea coal mine, which was called the "Stairway of Life", in the first square. A coal miner who worked in a coal mine deep in the sea, sometimes lost his life in an accident. Some participants are tearful in the story of the time, which Ms. Guide tells.

Buildings that played the central role of the island, such as the staff building of Mitsubishi, can be seen in the second square. Of the four pit pits (tatekou) at Hashimado, only the second pit and some of the brick walls of the third pit (makiza) remain.

On the third square, you can tour the living areas where people live, such as a group of apartment buildings with rebar structures. Building 30 is the oldest seven-story reinforced concrete apartment building in Japan. There were as many as 130 to 145 rooms, and all of them were 6 tatami mats and 1k (K means a pound).

Blue sea and ruins unspoof

今でもどこか力強さを感じる廃墟の、その独特な景色は映画のロケ地になったことでも知られています。

The size of the warship island is about 1.2km. At its peak, more than 5000 people lived and supported the energy of Japan. Why not go out to feel the energy and history of the island that supported the modern culture of Japan.
