[post_page_title]Hashima Island: Japan[/post_page_title]
Hashima Island was once inhabited by a large society mines – 5,000 of them to be exact. Around 1975, Japan replaced coal with petrol as its main source of fuel and the miners quickly abanoned the once flourishing island. The island sat completely desolate for over 30 years until it eas re-opened to curious tourists in 2009. Interest in the island gave the push it needed to become an industrial heritage site, but it’s still collapsing and left it in the state it was last seen in back in the mid 70’s.
