What to Expect

-An immersion in history, a return to the past. This unique island, also called "Gunkanjima", by its warship shape, was the symbol of the industrial revolution in Japan (Meiji period). This mining island for the extraction of coal, reached in 1950, 5300 inhabitants for a length 480 meters by 150 meters wide.

Once the most populated place in the world, now a ghost town! A unique and immeasurable impression of nature reclaiming its rights. This setting was used for the film James Bond Agent 007, in the opus "Skyfall" (2012).

The last inhabitants were evacuated in 1974.Closed to the public for 35 years (from 1974-2009).

The island has now been listed as a UNESCO world heritage site since 2015.
