The Haunted Island Japan Tried to Erase from History

Описание: 🌊 Off the coast of Nagasaki lies a ghostly island Japan would rather you forget.

Once a thriving coal mining hub, Hashima Island — also known as Gunkanjima or “Battleship Island” — became one of the most densely populated places on Earth. But beneath its concrete walls hides a haunting story of war, exploitation, and silence.

In this full-length documentary, we uncover how Mitsubishi transformed this small island into a floating fortress of industry — and how it later became a symbol of Japan’s darker wartime legacy.

From forced labor during World War II to its eerie abandonment and controversial rebirth as a tourist site, discover why Hashima remains one of the most haunting reminders of the past still visible today.
