Why didn’t you interview a Korean resident of the island? I’m pretty sure he’d tell you a totally different story that wasn’t as nostalgic as the Japanese
What's the story with the Koreans there ?
Well isn't this the island that housed Korean and Chinese slaves worked to death by the Japanese government at that time? I'd say it's good that it's abandoned.
Yes it was. And this documentary makes it out to be a happy place. I wonder how much money Mitsubishi payed to get this done.
Correct, this is really poor take on the island. Should have interviewed a Korean or Chinese worker.
Those photos that show life then fade to ruins are so haunting.
"The most packed place in the world" looks like one of the happiest places by the pictures and videos, but that is only because of a sense of community and parents making sure their kids are as happy as possible.
Not to mention ppl aren't crying that they're oppressed
pro trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Joseph Emilio definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for since november myself =)
@Joseph Emilio Yup, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
I’m sure the forced laborers from Korea loved it 🤨
This missed the history of slavery of koreans that was committed on this island during the height of imperial japan. They forced koreans into harshnliving conditions to provide coal for japan here
I went there some years ago. Unfortunately it started raining about 10 minutes after we got there so we weren't able to complete the tour on the island and so we just went around it in the boat after that. Fascinating how they had a school, hospital and everything they needed on one small island to cater to the community.
Did you know that the James Bond movie "Skyfall" was filmed there? Not sure if they mentioned that.
Also known as Gunkanjima (Battleship Island).
"Who first discovered hashima" i can't believe such writing still exists
that cameraman....but people lived there in late 1890s
I lost some brain cells in the first few minutes
We explore abandoned places in Japan on our UA-cam channel, actually Hashima Island is close to where I live and we'll be doing a video on it soon.
please see my comments on what to further explore! please dig deeper than just the abandoned structures - this is obvious.
Sorry, which comments? I'm interested in the story the actual building has to tell, if you dig deeper usually you can piece a few things together.
You have a new subscriber!!! 👍👍✌️✌️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
@@stacycamacho59 hey, thanks so much!
What's ur UA-cam channel for us to support.
Thank you.
I'm the photographer featured in this short documentary and helped the crew get permission to film on the island and talk to the local residents. We filmed it back in 2013 and it was heaps of fun working with the production crew. We shot so much it's little disappointing the feature was cut so short. I had no hand in the final edit, and I'm definitely not the first person to rediscover this island, although I did visit before it was featured in Skyfall or became a listed World Heritage Site. But what a walk down memory lane, seeing this uploaded nearly 10 years later!
Wonderful👌. Thank you SO Much for sharing with us All.❤🙏.
The part was insane. Great documentary kudos 👏.
That is so sad how their home was just ripped away from them😢
I hope they will take care of the island and the memories💚
Greetings from Norway🇧🇻🙂
yeah its sad island and sad memories for them but most likely for korean people whom used to be a slave to mine coal. the worst part of this island during world war 2. this island is a product of japanese imperialism causing heartbreaking memories for japanese and korean.
@@carapel9074 I didn't know that, so sorry to hear...
Thanks for reply💚
Keep yourself safe and with good health🙃
It’s quite good it’s been forgotten and basically thrown away, it was a place of slave labor and torture for Koreans
@@carapel9074 Yes, it was firstly home for slaves and forced labor before being that "happy place" they are talking about.
I sure hope to see more videos on this place and what is becoming of it!👍😌
I do love this Chanel , full of contents! Thx
Great video thanks
I really like the history of this place it is so interesting!! That will be a job to clean up! I hope it will be a beautiful Island for plants and flowers and other nature life! ❤😊
So many forgotten lives . So many of us will never be remebered . As if we were never here . Pitty .
That’s why we try out best to keep good memories behind, with those we love; they’d be the only ones carrying those memories despite time forcing them to move on.
So what if your remembered? The people who hold those memories will eventually pass, the whole world will be dust eventually and just a blip in space and time. Our universe is infinite and never-ending, nothing is permanent.
Interesting and I’m sure that the people who lives their still remember good times! So sad that had to leave cuz it could flourish with changing times if someone can fix it up
Very good video!
Very sad ! We cannot bring back the Past and the Past now belongs to History. History is here to stay.
Many places in the World knew the same fate ! A time to live and a time to die ! Memories are made of these. Blessings !
Ridiculous to pollute the island with buildings on such a beautiful place.
You must tell the truth, dont make if this island is special its has are dark side to the story which you and the Japanese government not telling.
Great video, watching from Scotland.
Looks like a cool to go camping for a bit and explore!
Definitely persevere this historical Island
I remember seeing something like this in the James Bond movie skyfall I heard about these sort of islands
Scenes from Skyfall were film here.
Sayonara Hashima, the place is now too dangerous too walk around in, the concrete is falling apart, even the steps.
I agree...life is beautiful in spite of being packed they live happily and respectful i can see and so on but when someone one pass away ...where did they bury the body or cremate it ???
they did not live happy lives. Japan kept Koreans and the Chinese as slaves
Intresting to watch
35 degrees? Humidity 95%? Sounds like the Caribbean in summer.... 😂
Sayunara hashima... This is land here was a childhood history.., remember happiness place where I be.,
Wish there were more details about the history, like why did they close the mine and where was the actually on this very crowded building, since they were mining for coal it's hard to imagine it paid well. Thank you for the video.
Brightside has released a brief background video regarding why the island was abandoned. It's basically about biohazard coal brings to humans because hashima solely focused before on coal minning. Japan ordered closure of all coal mining & transitioned to oil. Hashima was not spared. Hashima island was inhabited only for workers in the coal mining. They were relocated after Japan gov't ordered closure of coal minings which caused closure of the island.
@@shaundalejardenico1779 Thank you!
I feel sad for some reason after watching this !
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Same
Japan also has an island full of bunnies and one full of kitty cats. Hashima Island needs something adorable. Release some hedgehogs or something.
Yes release endangered animals so they could thrive.
horrible island too many bad souls who cannot rest in peace and still hanging around to looking for a place rest in eternity
Theres nothing on earth will last forever, there will be no place that will remain and looks as it is... everything will change.
this would have been so much more interesting had things like potable water, food source, transportation, waste, energy, etc been explored. the social structure would have also been interesting. how did this island thrive?
The old tv sensed the camera and jumps into life
Is this island for sale?!
New subscriber here✋🏻😊
The photographer Michael says he finds that its falling to ruin very beautiful in a sense. What is so beautiful about mankind not cleaning up after itself. Theres places all over the world that have ruined the ecology and left as eyesores.I suppose 500 years from now people will visit places like this that will hopefully be overgrown with plant life and they'll come across some relic and then archeologists will discover it was once inhabited. They'll wonder what happened to the people and why it was abandoned....
A 100 years from now, no one will know you and I existed...................
Sad but true
4:20 Reminds me of Nobita.
😂
*Only mine is closed not houses still can't get why no body stayed there. There are people of work in cities and then visit their native places and spend good time there even if it's remotest place*
They lived there because their source of income was there. So no mine, no income = move away to look for an income elsewhere and take your family with you
@@rapsi2344 an old guy Started living on an island in Italy he stayed there for 30 years before being expelled by the govt which is developing some conservation stuff there. So there are plenty of people that would be ready to stay there or even pay any amount to live on a private island.
its almost like the titanic anyone its sad but fascinating and sweet somehow its a little happy
Great investigative journalism, the island also housed many war crime durin WW2.
Now Godzilla could have enough space 🚀 n the island 😂😂😂😂😂
Sam and Colby next hell week clips lol
i'm about to cry if only we can turn back time.
Specially those pictures on the end.. it gave me chills..
turn back to the time where Korean and Chinese were forced to live there as slaves????
They think their houses was small. Imagine living in philippines in a square room as a house.
And where was the mine?
These Call of Duty graphics are getting pretty good.
I watched the video covered by Steve Ronin some time ago
I mean Why asian English accent while translating???😂
Where are the people now?
Fascinating. Adverts annoying
Try AdBlock, it's free and makes watching videos a lot less frustrating.
What happened here?
Thats weird
The sounds makes it annoying, its too loud.
This special island probably has an abundance of wildlife now humans have left. Keep it sacred and enjoy knowing about it
It is haunted or radioactive ☢️?
This is not even beautiful place..There is sad history about korean history...I'm really sad and angry
Why was it closed?
Presumably they mined it dry, no more coal left or its become untenable to dig further. This happenes to every mine eventually. That was the only reason they were there- for the mine
@@ericg4915 Makes sense! 😊
Reason why they closed the mine
I am sure we all once has a Hashima in our hearts 💕, whether good or bad, happy or sad, Sayonara to our past!
'Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.'
Very sad
This reminds me of the korean movie "Battleship Island". This was abandoned not because of military attacks or the war. I heard it is because Mitsubishi(they own this island) decided to close it down.
Isn't this the island where the film is based on?
@@heylamb123 that's right..
軍艦島
The photographer is an Otaku, hahaha..
He didn't have to wear a boys' japanese uniform on this interview, that's a bit over-the-top.
😳 wow! So this how some anime artist get there inspiration for creating the abondoned scene ... Will I think so... 🤔🤔 I never thought that there was a really abondoned place with no one around like this... Ruined place ...
But people can still upgrade and start living in the island again but only for the virus reasons? 🕵️♂️👶🏻👁️
Kinda proves the point that the majority of people are inclined towards peace.
Why the people left? I mean the island? Is there a creepy tragedy that happened??
@2:57 it's East China Sea
This tiny speck in S̶o̶u̶t̶h̶ ̶C̶h̶i̶n̶a̶ ̶S̶e̶a̶ made Japan rich. Really? coal?
Why japan goverment allowed thoseconstruction,it is better to preserve it as naked island for trees birds and animals sanctuary,this can be restored by japan into a virgin island again
They should clean/ fix it up a bit and make it a tourist destination... They could still make money from it
Pov: you heard this is the new rebirth island
I don't understand the history or the story behind this video. they never tell about what happen to the island poor documentary! 😌
Beautiful island 🥰
I want to renovate it and like restore all it and become mayor and like make it a city city
Used and abuse them and than abused and abandoned them for good. Greed. Pure evil.
35° hahaha, bruhhh thats better than here in ph
West Philippine Sea actually**
Holy 69 views must be my lucky day imma play the lottery lol
Now it's over 27,000
I like to go there.
Looks like a kid friendly prison
The battle ship island
Very small island
I wish I could block youtube channels with this much commercials! 😞
this guy is one of the last people to find out about this isalnd people have been here 10 years ago and put it on youtube lmao
Node datebayo
This is the very island that Japan committed forced labour during 2nd World War against Korean and Chinese. Also called Gunkanjima (軍艦島; meaning Battleship Island) it is located off the coast of Nakasaki (very city the 2nd A-bomb was dropped) in East China Sea. It is thousand mile apart from South China Sea. The apartments were built after war to house Japnese paid workers and families. Please do not repoert stories that was glass over by Japan's Special Interest Entities to distorting the history of it and facts.
Yes i was there when it happened
What is the photographers full name?
An island with a terrible history !
This looks like Nier Automata with better graphics
shared
Japan is so interestimg!!
Japan should just make this a fortress or military base or airbase which surround by water.
I like how you say that photographer first discovered the island!
Huh!
I thought 5000 people initially lived there how would he be the first to discover it?!
Oh, I get it, you mean like Colombo discovered America!!!
😂😂😂
You people are laughable.
Lucky number 13 "like"! 😊
