Why All People Left Hashima Island in Japan
A concrete island with tumble-down houses and not a single tree or plant around. The gloomiest place on Earth you’ve ever seen, for sure. Can it be real? In fact, it is. Welcome to Hashima!
This island 9 miles from Nagasaki is one of many hundreds of uninhabited islands in the prefecture. Unlike others, which are green and covered with forests, Hashima looks like bare rocks with no plants on them. If you look closer you’ll see that the rocks are actually empty high-risers standing on manmade coastal banks.

SUMMARY:
- For many centuries, people living on Takashima – a big island not far from Hashima, gathered coal, which lay close to the surface.
- In 18-19th centuries Takashima island was part of feudal lands belonging to the Fukahori family. They saw the profit that coal mining started to bring and took control of all the bargains in their own hands.
- Takashima coal had a high quality and soon filled the treasury of Nagasaki with foreign currency.
- At the end of the 19th century they sold the island to Mitsubishi, which was a shipping enterprise then. The new owner built dwelling houses for workers.
- Hashima produced about 150.000 tons of coal each year, and its population in 1916 was 3000 people.
- In 1959 the population of Hashima was over 5,200. The total square of the island is 6.3 ha, and 60% of it are rocky slopes where most of the dwelling houses are built.
- Between residential houses, there were squeezed a primary school, a secondary school, a playground, a gym, a cinema, bars, restaurants, 25 different stores, and a Buddhist church.
- Hashima citizens had no umbrellas, as the mazes of corridors and stairs connected all the dwelling houses and served as a transport system.
- Housing, electricity and water were free for workers, but all the residents had to take part in public works and clean-up of the territory.
- The most remarkable trait of this place was a total absence of the ground and plants. Hashima was nothing more but coal ash, laid around a bare rock.
- At the end of the 1960-s Japanese economy skyrocketed, and coal was admitted an ecologically dirty fuel.
- The government started shutting down coalmines around the country, and Hashima wasn’t an exclusion.
- Mitsubishi reduced staff on Hashima, retrained workers and sent them to other subsidiaries.
- By 1974 there were about 2000 people left on the island, and on January 15, 1974 the company officially announced the closure of the mine.
- Hashima now is an abandoned and forgotten island, which looks as a strange lighthouse guarding the entrance to Nagasaki bay.
- In September 2008 Hashima (Gunkanjima) island was included in the list to get the status of UNESCO world heritage as a monument to a whole period of Japanese history.

Battleship Island - Japanese Propaganda Film (Eng Sub)
Hashima is an island in Nagasaki prefecture. From the Meiji era to the Showa era it was prosperous due to the maritime coal mines and had population density over Tokyo. However, since the islanders left the island along with the closed mountain in 1974, it is an uninhabited island. It is known as the warship island name.
Hashima was originally a small shrine about 320 meters north and south and 120 meters east and west. We expanded the small beach and surrounding reefs and sandbars to about three times the area by six landfill constructions from 1897 to 1931. Its size is about 480 meters north and south, about 160 meters to the east and west, slender in the north and south, the coastline is linear, the whole island is covered with a levee dike. The area is about 6.3 hectares, the coastline's total length is about 1,200 meters. At the center of the island, the rocky mountain before landfill runs north and south, on the west side and the north side of the island and at the top of the island are facilities related to living such as houses, and on the east and south side there are facilities related to coal mines.
Although the timing of coal discovery is uncertain, until the end of the Edo era, fishermen called sea digging beside the fishery, only to coal the exposed charcoal on a very small scale. In 1869, Nagasaki's merchants started to coal mining, but the company was out of business in about a year, and the three companies following it were also forced to go out of business due to the typhoon damage. It was in 1886 that the 36 meter shaft was completed successfully, which is the first shaft.
In 1890, Nagoshima Suntaro who was the owner of the Hashima coal mine (Naboshima Sonokuro, former Nabeshima clan deep Hori lord) was transferred to Mitsubishi Corporation for 100,000 yen. Hashima will become private property of Mitsubishi for over 100 years thereafter. After the transfer, there was also the second vertical shaft and the third vertical shaft being opened, and the coal output of the Hashima coal mine grew by the time of pulling out the Takashima coal mine (1897). By this time, the basic living environment such as the launch of the ship Yuen Maru, the start of supply of drinking water (1891) accompanying the installation of distilled water machine, the establishment of the company's primary elementary school (1893) (1897 - 1931) The islands were landfilled in phases.
In the 1890s, the barn system in the adjacent Takashima coal mine had become a social problem, but the same system was laid in the Hashima coalmine. Like Takashima, labor disputes often occurred in Hashima. The life of the warship island in the barn system is as follows. Although the abolition of the barn system in Hashima was later than Takashima, it was phased out and all workers became under the direct control of Mitsubishi.
Mitsubishi Hashima Labor situation (1907) Year of labor management in Japan Labor management data compilation-
1. Mini recruiters earn a fee of 3 yen per applicant. Listen to the coal mine as paradise and deceive the people.
2. Both miners are unforgettable of their hometown, they regret that they were deceived at the tail end of recruiters.
3. The company hires whores and opens a whores store everywhere and encourages gambling further.
4. The miners have been caught and caught in this depression, and freedom is bound to the weak body of the loan.
Abolition of the barn system · With the construction of the RC apartment under the direct control of the miners by Mitsubishi, in 1916 the first reinforced concrete apartment building 30 building was built in Japan. In this year the Osaka Asahi Shimbun reported that the appearance of Hashima is a warship and a sunset, and five years later in 1921 the Nagasaki day-day newspaper was also being built at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Nagasaki Shipyard From the Taisho era it seems that the name of battleship island began to be used around the Taisho era because it is called battleship island as being similar to the Japanese Navy's battleship Tosa. However, around this time there were still few high-rise apartments made of reinforced concrete (only the 30th building and the day-worn company house), the majority were wooden flat shops or 2 stories.
At last the barn system was completely eliminated from the end island in 1941. However, Mitsubishi's direct jurisdiction that appeared on its behalf was also bad. For example, in the 30 th building built in 1916, a small dwelling of six tatami mats for household owners 'husbands was laid on one side of the L' shaped letter plan, and because of its narrowness, the reputation was not good from the beginning. Meanwhile, discrimination between underground husband and underground husband at Hashima was RC-converted as it was with the slightly widened floor plan of No. 16 to No. 20 for the underground husband that was built later, with 6 mats + 4.5 tatami.

The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. Its most notable features are the abandoned and still mostly-intact concrete apartment buildings, and the surrounding sea wall. The island has been administered as part of Nagasaki city since the merger with the former town of Takashima in 2005.
It is known for its coal mines and their operation during the industrialization of Japan. Mitsubishi bought the island in 1890 and began extracting coal from undersea mines. In 1916 the company built Japan's first large concrete building (9 storeys tall),[5] a block of apartments to accommodate their burgeoning ranks of workers. Concrete was specifically used to protect against typhoon destruction.
Beginning in the 1930s and until the end of the Second World War, Korean conscripted civilians and Chinese prisoners-of-war were forced to work under very harsh conditions and brutal treatment at the Mitsubishi facility as slave laborers under Japanese wartime mobilization policies.[1][6][7][8]
In 1959 the 6.3-hectare (16-acre) island's population reached its peak of 5,259, with a population density of 835 people per hectare (83,500 people/km2, 216,264 people per square mile) for the whole island, or 1,391 per hectare (139,100 people/km2) for the residential district.[9]
As petroleum replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began shutting down across the country, and Hashima's mines were no exception. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and today the buildings are empty and the island is unpopulated. Travel to Hashima was re-opened on April 22, 2009, after 35 years of closure.[10]

Travel to Hashima was re-opened on April 22, 2009 after 35 years of closure.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
