BATTLESHIP ISLAND | Japan’s Abandoned City

This now abandoned island was once the most densely populated place on earth. Hashima Island has been nicknamed battleship island or Gunkanjima in Japanese thanks to the fact that it resembles the form of a ship when viewed from certain angles. Here's what it's like to visit the island.

It looks really interesting. Would you recommend doing the tour if you only have 2 days in Nagasaki?

[@SophieNadeau]

yes, we actually did a morning tour as it only takes 3 hours so you’re back by midday to explore the rest of the town! I would say you could probably do the island tour and then see Glover Garden!
