Hashima is an island that many people may not have heard of. It is one of the Japanese Islands, and the Japanese government does not want to draw attention to it. Hashima used to be one of the most densely populated places in the world, with over 13,000 people living on one square kilometer. Today, however, Hashima looks like a giant, decrepit, battleship.

The major industry on Hashima used to be coal mining with a facility from Mitsubishi Motors. However, the coal business went down and the factory closed permanently. Without work and with nothing keeping them there, everyone left back to the mainland.
Having been left to rot since 1974, Hashima is now beyond restoration and extremely unsafe. The government does not want to bring attention to this awful island so they made it illegal to visit. If you are caught visiting it, you will get 30 days in prison and immediate deportation.
Everything in Hashima has eroded away and some buildings fronts have fallen completely off. TVs stand broken and shattered, personal artifacts lay everywhere, and everything is damaged beyond repair.
