Gunkanjima, or Battleship Island
Senén GermadeThe actual name of this island is Hashima. It is located around 4.5km west of the Nagasaki Peninsula, a very small island with a former seabed coal mine.
Officially known as Hashima, Gunkanjima (軍艦島, “Battleship Island”) flourished as a coal mining community, starting in 1890. The coal mine closed in 1974 and the island has been deserted since then. The island is now a World Heritage site, and it is also a popular tourist attraction. Gunkanjima was used a model for the movie Attack on Titan, and for the Dead City featured in the movie Skyfall. You can take tours that bring you up close to this haunting island, or even make landfall and explore the ruins on foot.
Tours depart from different ports located in Nagasaki City (depending on the tour company the one chooses), which are all easily accessible via Tram.

A mystic island indeed; you could call it 'Ghost Island', but to me it feels more like an art museum, also considering that "Battleship Island" (that's how it is also called) has been put on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage list as part of the Modern Industrial Heritage Sites in Kyushu and Yamaguchi. Before its reopening to visitors in 2009 landing on the island was sometimes permitted to journalist only. Then, after an important pier restoration for better and safer landing, the island was finally opened for tourists as well. I will show you a series of images of my time exploring the remains of this mysterious place.
ここはまさに神秘の島だ。「幽霊島」と呼んでも差し支えなかろう。しかし私にはまるで美術館のように感じられた。而してこの「軍艦島」(とこの島は呼ばれている)が、九州・山口の近代化産業遺産群の一部として、ユネスコの世界遺産候補リストに上ったからである。2009年の一般公開再開まで、この島への上陸はジャーナリストに限られていた。その後主要桟橋の再築により安全性の向上を図った軍艦島は、ついに一般観光客にも公開されるに及ぶ。この廃墟と化した神秘の島を探検し、撮影した数々の写真をここでご紹介する。
Gunkanjima, a candidate to become a World Heritage site, is a dramatic, uninhabited island that never ceases to fascinate me.
The first sight I had when I landed on Gunkanjima made me nostalgic and imagine how it must have been in yesteryear.
The history and metamorphoses of the 'Undersea Coal Mine Island', Gunkanjima in Nagasaki.
Gunkanjima, qui candidate actuellement pour une inscription au Patrimoine Mondial, est une île inhabitée spectaculaire qui ne cesse de me fasciner.
Inhabités depuis la fermeture des mines de charbon d'Hashima en 1974, les bâtiments de l'île ont été endommagés par les éléments et pourraient s'écrouler à tout moment.

แน่นอนมันเป็นเกาะที่ลึกลับ คุณสามารถเรียกมันว่า 'เกาะผีสิง' ก็ได้ แต่สำหรับผมมันคือพิพิธภัณฑ์ศิลปะ "เกาะเรือรบ" แห่งนี้ ยังได้รับการเสนอชื่อในบัญชีเบื้องต้นมรดกโลกของยูเนสโก ให้เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของมรดกโลกทางอุตสาหกรรมสมัยใหม่ (Modern Industrial Heritage Sites) ในคิวชู (Kyushu) และยะมะกุชิ (Yamaguchi) ก่อนที่จะเปิดให้เข้าชมในปี 2009 การขึ้นไปบนเกาะนั้นอนุญาตให้แก่นักข่าวเท่านั้น หลังจากการซ่อมแซมท่าเรือที่ทำให้การขึ้นไปบนเกาะปลอดภัยขึ้น ในที่สุดนักท่องเที่ยวก็ขึ้นไปบนเกาะได้ ผมจะแสดงชุดภาพของในช่วงเวลาที่ผมสำรวจซากปรักหักพังของสถานที่ลึกลับแห่งนี้
Benar-benar pulau yang mistis; Anda dapat menyebutnya 'Pulau Hantu', namun bagi saya pulau ini lebih seperti museum seni, dan mengingat bahwa "Pulau Kapal Perang" (bagaimana pulau ini juga disebut) telah dimasukkan ke dalam daftar tentatif UNESCO World Heritage sebagai bagian dari Modern Industrial Heritage Sites (Situs Warisan Industri Modern) di Kyushu dan Yamaguchi. Sebelum dibuka kembali untuk pengunjung di tahun 2009, menjejakkan kaki ke pulau ini kadang hanya diizinkan untuk wartawan saja. Kemudian, setelah restorasi dermaga yang penting untuk pendaratan yang lebih baik dan aman, pulau ini akhirnya juga dibuka untuk para turis. Saya akan menunjukkan kepada Anda beberapa foto-foto saat saya mengeksplorasi reruntuhan dari tempat misterius ini.
