Used to be a shop, but not worth travelling for! :) Great site! Would love to know if/how you've edited some of your photos, particularly Osarizawa mine. How do you find those kind of places?

Little can compare to an entire abandoned island, but around the Tohoku area there are lots of ghost towns. Around Kanto there's lots of everything, abandoned apartments, hotels, love hotels, soaplands, military bases, etc.. If interested- see my site for over 50 locations.

The part in the pictures looks pretty modern, too. Too bad you weren't able to take the tour that walks around. Wow – how odd to think of a city just abandoned like that…

I recommend it, but it's quite a trip out of the way if you're going by Shinkansen. I believe there are other ruins on Honshuu though. Nagasaki in general really is beautiful and has lots of dragonflies floating about the place. It does feel magical. Thanks!

I was almost going to go there on my recent summer vacation but in the end it would have cost too much. I saw this island in the tour book and really wanted to see it, a great photo op anyways.
