I Explored Japan's Largest ABANDONED Island | Why 10,000 People Disappeared

Japan has over 6,000 islands. Many are losing their populations and becoming abandoned. Ikeshima island is home to an abandoned area the size of a small city. This week in Journey Across Japan we explore this genuinely jaw-dropping island once and for all.

NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Put me out of my misery - who took the best Natsuki postcard?

[@spacebug30]

As a Dutch person, Huis ten Bosch could totally be in the Netherlands on first sight, but then you notice the mountains in the background and realize those don't exist over here 😅

Joey: "I don't know what to say. It looks like a post-apocalyptic town, like something happened and it's just stuck in time."

[@justsomekirbowithoutamusta1852]

Imagine getting this on GeoGuessr, guessing the Netherlands and then losing to someone randomly guessing Japan

[@TheJtyork420]

I love Natsuki's ability to link almost every object he sees to a american rock song. Respect bro.

Plot twist: The island's residents all turned into cats.

[@DragonBoi3789]

Joey could've won an actual award if he'd gotten Natsuki to sit in that roached out chair, hunched over with a cigarette between his fingers, exhaling smoke while he stared at the flower in his other hand and considered it sagely, with the mounds of trash behind him and the sea beyond. All in grayscale, with only the yellow flower as color.

This feels exactly like a British documentary on tv. Chris production is amazing

[@allgomesareevil6121]

"No animals, no humans, only me the island scary" sounds like a death poem :D

[@tccandler]

A nod of the cap to everyone involved in these annual Journeys Across Japan... It may all be fun and games, but I recognize the amount of hard work that goes into them. Well done Pussy Kings!!!

[@Patterrz]

compared to the "Welsh Village" you and Connor went to, this is actually REALLY impressive

[@erebo._.sapien]

I just realised something. Chris is on track with his New Year's resolutions. He went on Trash Taste for the third time. He made Natsuki famous with "Too Much Volcano", Top 14 Alternative Song on Apple Music. The final resolution was to work on his body and after hearing about organising skills on the last episode of Trash Taste I think he's on top of that too.

[@NoFuqinIdea]

I sometimes wonder if Natsuki starts speaking fluent english as soon as the camera is being turned off. It's like every english word he's saying could become his new trademarked catchphrase. You could release a Merch collection of him using any quote from any video and it would always end up being perfect. I love it! That man has such a unique energy.

As a Utrechter, I can't express how surprised I am to see the Dom tower suddenly appear, creepily alike to it's original over here. And even better, the real one has been covered up in scaffolding for the past few years! Those cheeky bastards..

"Anpanman... Your man"

[@corginautcreations2579]

As a dutch person I loved this video.

[@lucynsuns]

I love this series because it feels like a really interesting documentary with wonderful music that you'd find on netflix but the dynamic also has it be funny and whimsical making it something special to take in

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

"Real life, real holiday, real beer time nice Dutch!"

[@Ozai75]

Why 10,000 people disappeared on Ikeshima Island? They heard that Chris Broad was coming.

[@thelicensednerd1626]

"Were gonna need a bigger gardener" has had my granddad laughingfor ten minutes now!😂thx again chris
