[2025 Nagasaki Attraction] Travel Guide for Hashima Island (Updated Jun)

The well-known Ruins Island, Gunkanjima (Hashima) You must book a tour to visit. There are about four major tour companies, and the prices are roughly the same, around 4,000 yen. The standards for wave height are quite strict, and I've heard that tours can only set sail about half the days of the year... So, if you're determined to visit, it's safer to plan for several days to increase your chances! Being a ruins island, the buildings are deteriorating year by year, with many on the verge of collapse. Even on a tour, the areas you can actually land on are very limited. Still, you can feel the remnants of its once-thriving past and learn about Japan's history through the tour.

Hashima Island tours can be taken from Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture. Hashima Island is commonly known as Gunkanjima, and from the outside it looks like a battleship. It supported Japan's coal mining industry, but fell into ruin as the energy shifted to oil. Part of it is now recognized as a World Heritage Site. Only tour participants who are lucky enough to find calm seas can land here. There you will find Japan's oldest concrete apartment building and traces of a solid life. This uninhabited island is a place where anyone can travel back in time. #DomesticTravel #NagasakiTrip #GunkanjimaCruise #Gunkanjima #0YenTrip

I was able to land on Gunkanjima, also known as Hashima Island in Nagasaki Prefecture! I participated in a 2.5 hour tour for 3600 yen (plus 310 yen for Gunkanjima baths)! The boat took me around the island slowly, and I was able to take some good photos! The conditions were tough that day (I hadn't been able to land the day before, or the day before), so I was worried I wouldn't be able to land, but I was able to land safely! 😆💕 Gunkanjima made me want to go see the diamonds sleeping in the sea. The guide also told me about the history of Gunkanjima, which made it even more interesting. In fact, the World Heritage Site is not the island itself, but a part of it. 🤫 On the way back, I was also given a certificate of landing ✌🏼✌🏼 #Nagasaki #NagasakiTourism #Gunkanjima #Hashima @DiamondsSleepingInTheSea #0YenTrip

🏖️Overview: Hashima Island is an island in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, commonly known as Gunkanjima. Coal was produced there during the Meiji period, and as the amount of coal mined increased, the population rapidly increased and the island expanded. In the 1960s, the island had a population density👤 higher than Tokyo, with Japan's first high-rise reinforced concrete apartment buildings being built, but it became an uninhabited island when the mine was closed in 1974. In 2015, part of the island was registered as a World Heritage Site🌎. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: Although the area that can be walked on the island is limited, you can feel the breath💨 of the people who lived there at the time when they built the foundation for the development of Japan🇯🇵.

When planning to Nagasaki, has considered this trip as a key trip, no mistake is very shocking, but the island is very bright sunshine, and can not carry an umbrella, in the sun environment stayed about 3 hours, very tormented, and the guide is only speaking Japanese original text, only saw him very fleshy dancing, but do not understand why. It is worth mentioning that there was a Hong Kong person at the ticket office who gave us a very detailed Cantonese explanation ❤️❤️

Battleship Island, originally named Hashima, is located off the coast of Nagasaki. It was once one of Japan's most important underwater coal mines and one of the most densely populated places in the world. Since the 1970s, the coal mine ceased operations, and the island became an abandoned ghost island. Visiting Battleship Island requires a bit of luck because the ferry service is often suspended due to rough seas and high winds. Due to the dilapidated structures all over the island, for safety reasons, visitors must strictly follow the designated routes guided by the staff. On the island, you can see traces of the former coal mine, as well as the ruins of residential buildings, factories, and even a shrine, all exuding a heavy sense of history.

Its located in Nagasaki, i went here using the ferry around 30minutes from the Nagasaki port. A little history for this Island, it was prosperous in the past because it was known for its undersea coal mines. But being abandoned at 1974. It’s been abandoned for 50 years. So it so Dangerous to get inside the Island, we only going to the edge of the island while listening for the story of the guide. I was so lucky because the weather were so nice so we can go to the island. This island was approved as UNESCO world heritage. And was a unique experience for me. So if you have a plan to come to Japan I recommend you to visit this abandoned Island. #japantrip #nagasaki #abandoned

Hashima Island has a very interesting past. In the past, it used to be a very prosperous coal mine. Until the end of the coal era, the island was abandoned. Therefore, they called it the “Haunted Island” of Japan. With its deserted atmosphere, the condition of the town, and various legends, it is one of the strangest places to visit in Japan. I must say that the real place is scarier than the picture. Because of the surrounding weather, the eerie atmosphere, the creepy buildings, and the various stories, it allows us to imagine far away.
