2. Hashima Island, Japan
Known as “Battleship Island,” Hashima was once a coal mining facility but was abandoned in the 1970s. The island is now famous for its decaying concrete buildings and barren landscape. Its dark, industrial ruins create a hauntingly dystopian atmosphere.
Visitors describe the island as eerily quiet, where the abandoned structures stand like silent sentinels, casting long shadows over the sea. It feels like a ghostly relic of Japan’s industrial age.
