Why All People Left Hashima Island in Japan
A concrete island with tumble-down houses and not a single tree or plant around. The gloomiest place on Earth you’ve ever seen, for sure. Can it be real? In fact, it is. Welcome to Hashima!
This island 9 miles from Nagasaki is one of many hundreds of uninhabited islands in the prefecture. Unlike others, which are green and covered with forests, Hashima looks like bare rocks with no plants on them. If you look closer you’ll see that the rocks are actually empty high-risers standing on manmade coastal banks.

SUMMARY:
- For many centuries, people living on Takashima – a big island not far from Hashima, gathered coal, which lay close to the surface.
- In 18-19th centuries Takashima island was part of feudal lands belonging to the Fukahori family. They saw the profit that coal mining started to bring and took control of all the bargains in their own hands.
- Takashima coal had a high quality and soon filled the treasury of Nagasaki with foreign currency.
- At the end of the 19th century they sold the island to Mitsubishi, which was a shipping enterprise then. The new owner built dwelling houses for workers.
- Hashima produced about 150.000 tons of coal each year, and its population in 1916 was 3000 people.
- In 1959 the population of Hashima was over 5,200. The total square of the island is 6.3 ha, and 60% of it are rocky slopes where most of the dwelling houses are built.
- Between residential houses, there were squeezed a primary school, a secondary school, a playground, a gym, a cinema, bars, restaurants, 25 different stores, and a Buddhist church.
- Hashima citizens had no umbrellas, as the mazes of corridors and stairs connected all the dwelling houses and served as a transport system.
- Housing, electricity and water were free for workers, but all the residents had to take part in public works and clean-up of the territory.
- The most remarkable trait of this place was a total absence of the ground and plants. Hashima was nothing more but coal ash, laid around a bare rock.
- At the end of the 1960-s Japanese economy skyrocketed, and coal was admitted an ecologically dirty fuel.
- The government started shutting down coalmines around the country, and Hashima wasn’t an exclusion.
- Mitsubishi reduced staff on Hashima, retrained workers and sent them to other subsidiaries.
- By 1974 there were about 2000 people left on the island, and on January 15, 1974 the company officially announced the closure of the mine.
- Hashima now is an abandoned and forgotten island, which looks as a strange lighthouse guarding the entrance to Nagasaki bay.
- In September 2008 Hashima (Gunkanjima) island was included in the list to get the status of UNESCO world heritage as a monument to a whole period of Japanese history.

UNESCO urges Japan to let world know of Hashima Island's brutal history
日, 군함도 전체 역사 알려야...유네스코 결정문 채택
Hundreds of Koreans were forced to toil in coal mines under inhumane conditions in Japan's Hashima Island.
That hell on earth is glorified by Tokyo, and even earned a world heritage site status, while hiding its dark history.
UNESCO stepped up and urged Japan to inform the world of all aspects of the so called battleship island.
Lee Ji-won gets us up to speed with the developments.
UNESCO has urged Japan to tell the world about the brutalities committed against the Koreans it forced to work on Hashima Island during World War Two.
The decision was made Wednesday at a meeting of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, which looked at Japan's progress on the commitments it made when the industrial facilities including those on Hashima were registered as World Cultural Heritage Sites in 2015.
At that time, Tokyo had promised to publicize Hashima's full history.
The island, southwest of the country, is promoted by Japan as a historical site from the Meiji Revolution period. But it was also where some 500 to 800 Koreans were forced to work for little or no pay and hardly any food.
Japan had said it would let visitors know that a large number of Koreans were brought there against their will and forced to work in the coal mines under harsh conditions.
It also said it was prepared to take measures to commemorate the victims like setting up an information center.
But these promises have not been implemented properly.
Japan's implementation report submitted last year not only omitted phrases like forced and against their will,... it said simply that a large number of people from the Korean Peninsula supported Japanese industry.
And the information center, it said, would be in Tokyo, over a thousand kilometers away from Hashima.
Even worse, it was to be set up as a think tank, which could be used to portray the facts as a matter of opinion.
In its evaluation Wednesday, adopted by consensus, the committee did not outright ask Japan to use the word forced, but it did urge Japan to fully implement its pledges.
It also strongly urged Japan to consider international best practices when it interprets the full history.
And as if to further remind Japan of its promises, the draft included Japan's 2015 statement.
Japan's delegate to UNESCO, Takio Yamada, said that Japan intends to carry out the committee's requests and keep its own promises.
South Korea's foreign ministry called UNESCO's decision meaningful,... and said it will continue to seek dialogue with Tokyo as well as the international community.
Our government will be closely watching Japan's implementation of its promise and continue to urge Tokyo to commemorate the victims in a sincere manner at the earliest time.
Japan's next implementation report is due by December of 2019, and will be examined by the committee in 2020.

Japan Vlog: Battleship Island, Gunkanjima
Hey everyone! Today we visit Gunkanjima, which is better known as Battleship Island. The Island is just off the coast from Nagasaki, and was a large coal mining town until the 1970s when the mine closed and the inhabitants moved out. The island was then battered by typhoon, and looks like a set of a dystopic sci-fi game. It's amazing. Thanks so much for watching!

Hashima Island in Nagasaki, or Battleship Island (Gunkanjima)
I apologize for not being in this video. I have a cold (I've been sick for a week). Back in October I went to Nagasaki on a day trip with two friends of mine. :)
Nicknamed Battleship Island not because of any sort of war significance, but due to the shape of the island as you look at it from afar. It resembles that of an old battleship off in the distance.
Hashima Island is an old mining community. Originally the island used to be much smaller, but as more and more people came to the island for work, they terraformed the area around the island to make it bigger.
After the energy switch from coal to petro, the mine was closed and abandoned. It was opened in 2009 for tours, however these tours do not involve exploring the island as a whole. There is a short path they guide you own before you turn on a dime and head back to the ship.

This was back in 2017 when I traveled from Hiroshima to Nagasaki to visit the (in)famous Battleship Island. They filmed for a James Bond movie and in the past it was a real small town full of mine workers and their families. Around WW2 there have also been POW and so working here. In not so good conditions. In the evening I went to the local Lanturn Festival. Something for the Chinese district. There were lots of amazing things to see and I ate my first complete squid. Traveling back by train I came across a Evangelion Anime Restaurant. In the train station waiting area they have free hentai laying around. How should I know that. I just thought it's the weekly Shonan Jump or something. Anyway, the next day I went to the Hiroshima Dome and the atomic bomb museum.

History lesson for Korea and China
Sensei Tony here to teach history to some Koreans and Chinese. Some on the Korean peninsula and in China with self-righteous smugness continue to admonish Japan with something like this: “Denying your history you have no future.” With that they then take it upon themselves to lecture history as they see it in South Korea and China. This video does not attempt to assign who is incorrect and who is correct.
This video is an attempt to teach South Korea and China some of their history they seem to be ignorant of. Also this video by teaching them their history will help them guarantee their future.
Note: “Sensei” (先生) is the Japanese word for “teacher.”
Question if any of the information in this video can be located in history text books both in South Korea and China. During the Second World War (WWII) the Korean peninsula was part of Japan. Many Korean men volunteered to join the Imperial Japanese Army. A large number of these Koreans attended Japanese military academies and rose high in the ranks of the Imperial Japanese Army. Some of these notable and accomplished Koreans are:
Major Chae Byung Duk
Major General Kim Seok-Won
Colonel Lee Eung-jun
Lieutenant Park Chung-hee (later he became president of South Korea 1962 – 1976)
Lieutenant General Yi Un (Eun) Crown Prince
Korean Crown Prince Euimin
Korean Crown Prince Yi Bangja
Why did these notable Koreans volunteer to join the Imperial Japanese Army if that army was dragging their women off the peninsula and forced into sexual slavery (Comfort Women)?
Korean Hong Sa-ik rose to the rank of Lieutenant Major General in the Imperial Japanese Army. He rose to such a distinguish level he was placed in charge of all the Prisoner of War (POW) camps in the Philippines.
Here is a partial list of those camps:
Cabanatuan
Davao Prison and Penal Farm
Camp O'Donnell
Los Baños
Santo Tomas Internment Camp
Bilibid Prison
Puerto Princesa Prison Camp
Camp John Hay
Camp Holmes Internment Camp
Camp Manganese, Guindulman, Bohol
Camp Malolos, Bulcan
At the end of the war Lieutenant Major General Hong Sa-ik was arrested and placed on trial as a war criminal for the atrocities in those camps under his command. Many of those camps had Korean guards who were sadistic and tortured the POWs. They did this in an attempt to prove their worth as Korean soldiers in the Imperial Japanese Army. Hong Sa-ik was found guilty, classified as a Class A War Criminal and executed (hung) in 1946.
His story continues: In 1966 he spirit was interned in Tokyo, Japan, at a Shinto Shrine, the Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社 or 靖國神社).
The Yasukuni Shrine houses the spirits of Japan’s war dead from about the mid-1860’s through the end of World War Two. Whenever any notable Japanese person makes a trip to the Shrine to show respect, the South Korean and Chinese governments issue annoying criticism. How come the Allied nations such as the Philippines, New Zealand, India, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and the USA do not issue any diplomatic objections?
The only two to object South Korea and China are two nations that assisted the Imperial Japanese Army. Koreans joined not only the Imperial Japanese Army they also joined Hitler’s Nazi army. Some Chinese also joined Hitler’s Nazi army. The current Communist government in China helped the Japanese by hindering the Nationalist Chinese under Chiang Kai-shek. He had to fight both the Communist Chinese and the Japanese, dividing his military resources.

軍艦島 A Look Around Gunkan Jima A.K.A Battleship Island In Kyushu
Here is a look around the famous island Gunkan Jima in Kyushu.
Attack on Titan use Battleship Island as a Live-Action Film studio
BattleShip - A deserted island which was used as a Live-Action Film studio of comic Attack on Titan.
Hashima Island (端島 or Hashima — -shima is a Japanese suffix for island?), commonly called Gunkanjima (軍艦島; meaning Battleship Island), is one among 505 uninhabited islands in Nagasaki Prefecture about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Nagasaki itself
The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. The island's most notable features are the abandoned and undisturbed concrete apartment buildings and the surrounding sea wall. The island has been administered as part of Nagasaki city since the merger of the former town of Takashima in 2005
It is known for its coal mines and their operation during the industrialization of Japan. Mitsubishi bought the island in 1890 and began the project, the aim of which was extracting coal from undersea mines. They built Japan's first large concrete building (9 stories high), a block of apartments in 1916 to accommodate their burgeoning ranks of workers. Concrete was specifically used to protect against typhoon destruction. In 1959, the 6.3-hectare (16-acre) island's population reached its peak of 5,259, with a population density of 835 people per hectare (83,500 people/km2, 216,264 people per square mile) for the whole island, or 1,391 per hectare (139,100 people/km2) for the residential district.
As petroleum replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began shutting down all over the country, and Hashima's mines were no exception. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and today it is empty and bare, which is why it is called Ghost Island. Travel to Hashima was re-opened on April 22, 2009 after 35 years of closure.

Japan's Most Terrifying Bridge: Eshima Ohashi ★ ONLY in JAPAN #33
It's been nicknamed the ROLLER COASTER BRIDGE because of it's super steep slope and appearance of being a bridge to the sky.
That's the Eshima Ohashi Bridge straddling Shimane and Tottori prefecture in Japan.
Facts about the Eshima Ohashi:
★ 1,446 meters long
★ 250 meters of continupus concrete in the center (the third longest Ramen bridge in the world!)
★ 6.1% grade slope on the Shimane Prefecture side
★ 5.1% grade on the Tottori side
★ The bridge needed to be high in the center to allow large shops to pass under.
☆ From the Shimane side, you can get the optical illusion view at the end of the street by the sea.
☆ If you have a good telephoto lens, go even further to the other side of the sea for a better shot. (Map below)
The bridge has a good pedestrian footpath on both sides of the road.
Bicycles are not allowed on the footpath so stay on the main road with the car, to the left side.
There is an observation point on the top that offers sweeping views all the way to Daisen (mountain).
The closest major access point is Yonago Station and airport on the Sea of Japan. From there, take a train to Sakaiminato and rent a bicycle or grab a taxi.
Sakaiminato is also famous for Japanese anime and the main street is like a museum of monsters!
The bridge is a 20 minute ride from Sakai Minato.
Take food with you from the station.

Hashima Island Dark Secrets | ఈ దెయ్యాల దీవికి వెళ్ళిన మనిషి తిరిగి రాడు
Hashima Island, commonly called Gunkanjima , is an abandoned island lying about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the city of Nagasaki, in southern Japan. It is one of 505 uninhabited islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. The island's most notable features are its abandoned concrete buildings, undisturbed except by nature, and the surrounding sea wall. While the island is a symbol of the rapid industrialization of Japan, it is also a reminder of its history as a site of forced labor prior to and during the Second World War.
The 6.3-hectare (16-acre) island was known for its undersea coal mines, established in 1887, which operated during the industrialization of Japan. The island reached a peak population of 5,259 in 1959. In 1974, with the coal reserves nearing depletion, the mine was closed and all of the residents departed soon after, leaving the island effectively abandoned for the following three decades. Interest in the island re-emerged in the 2000s on account of its undisturbed historic ruins, and it gradually became a tourist attraction. Certain collapsed exterior walls have since been restored, and travel to Hashima was re-opened to tourists on April 22, 2009. Increasing interest in the island resulted in an initiative for its protection as a site of industrial heritage.
The island was formally approved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2015, as part of Japan's Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining.
Etymology Battleship Island is an English translation of the Japanese nickname for Hashima Island, Gunkanjima (gunkan meaning battleship, jima being the rendaku form of shima, meaning island). The island's nickname came from its resemblance to the Japanese battleship Tosa
History Coal was first discovered on the island around 1810, and the island was continuously inhabited from 1887 to 1974 as a seabed coal mining facility. Mitsubishi Goshi Kaisha bought the island in 1890 and began extracting coal from undersea mines, while seawalls and land reclamation (which tripled the size of the island were constructed. Four main mine-shafts (reaching up to 1 kilometre deep) were built, with one actually connecting it to a neighbouring island. Between 1891 and 1974 around 15.7 million tons of coal were excavated in mines with temperatures of 30°C and 95% humidity.
