N-58 Gunkanjima Cruise in Nagasaki


Gunkanjima Experience Tour,
transcends time and space!

What is Gunkanjima?

Hashima (Gunkanjima) is located about 40 minutes by ship from Nagasaki Port. This small island is man-made for submarine coal mining, which was reclaimed around the reef. The island is surrounded by quay walls, and the appearance of the high-rise reinforced concrete structure resembles the warship “Tosa”, so it came to be called “Gunkanjima”. At its peak in 1960, about 5,300 people lived there, and at that time it boasted the highest population density in Japan. The island was equipped with elementary and junior high schools, hospitals, etc., and also there are entertainment facilities such as movie theaters and pachinko halls, it seems that they could cover all of their lives on the island.

Coal from the Hashima and neighboring Takashima was of very high quality, it contributed greatly to the modernization of Japan. However, due to the shift from coal to petroleum as the main source of energy, the mine needs declined and was closed in 1974. The islanders left the island with various thoughts in their hearts and became an uninhabited island.

To keep our memory…

In 2009, it became possible for the general public to land on Gunkanjima, and now many people participate in landing tours and visit Gunkanjima.
In 2015, it was officially registered as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

It became the stage of the movie “007 Skyfall”
