Nagasaki

Mar.

This island, located about 40 minutes by boat from the port of Nagasaki, is commonly known as Gunkanjima Island. The lucrative undersea mining industry flourished here from the Meiji period to the Showa period. It closed in 1974 (the 49th year of the exhibition) and has not been inhabited since then. In recent years, exploring the ruins has become very popular with Japanese tourists and the island has now become an important tourist destination.
