in Japan There is one island called It is the largest uninhabited island in the country . Here, in the past, there were tens of thousands of inhabitants , hundreds of professionals , hundreds of apartments. There is even a school But over time This place has become a deserted island. The rest of the inhabitants are few. but even so on this island There is still one accommodation open. So we decided Let's go to sleep on this deserted island. And this island is called IKESHIMA . Everyone, cats sing all over the island . Can you hear it? It's blocking the entrance. The walking dead city that has been eaten by zombies. Hello everyone. Today we are back again. I'm in Japan now. We will travel from Fukuoka to Nagasaki today. The biggest uninhabited island in Japan. And I didn't just go there. Go to sleep too. I'm looking for something to do . There's a hotel right up there. Must try this experience once. This island is called Ikeshima Island or we will take a car. After driving, get on a boat and cross over again. which people who have been to very few hardly anyone has ever been He had better not go, take this first. But it can go. It's not a dangerous area, it's safe, so let's go ahead and see how it is. In this trip I have to tell you that Because some people Are you traveling? Maybe the weather changes Sometimes there may be a symptom that irritates the throat. You can get sore throat. and this whole trip We carry this Neck spray from natural extracts. of German chamomile flowers no sugar no additives Natural taste, not bitter , which I carry throughout this trip. Easy to use , symptoms can be used immediately. which allows us to continue traveling with peace of mind which now We will continue our journey. I'm at a rest stop right now. We'll stop by to do some shopping soon. We will leave for another 2 hours and go to Ikeshima, a deserted island. For this island, it is Ikeshima Island located in Nagasaki Province, Kyushu region. Looking at the map, we can see that it is a small island that sticks out just like that. myself Here, I have to say that originally there was a well on this island. So the island was named Ikeshima , which means well. But later on, this well has been smashed, destroyed and merged into a pier. Going back in 1913 , Mitsui Matsushima Company came to buy land on this island. And built a coal mine in 1952 and started using it in 1959 , but before there was a coal mine on the island I must say that in the past There are already people living on the island. but not much Most of them are mainly engaged in agriculture and fishing. But when the coal mine came in Of course, workers and workers. had to relocate to live here as well after that Therefore, a residential building was built. Including various necessary infrastructures, such as water supply systems, schools , hospitals, shops, transportation, ports , can be said that this is a city and after that. In the 1970s , about 8,000 people lived on the island, but some sources say that during that time, there were as many as 20,000 people living on the island . Yes, 8,000 is just the number of people living. And only properly registered and in the 1980s, when there was a lot of coal production, it can be said that the most prosperous is that it was able to produce up to 1.5 million tons of coal until in 2001 , Japan began having more coal imports from abroad is cheaper Including Japan itself also began to develop in terms of nuclear energy Make many coal mines in Japan offline. began to close down and in 2002, the coal mine at Ikeshima Island was officially closed. make it here bro It is the last coal mining island in the Kyushu region and when the coal mine is the main industry. As most people's workplaces on the island are closed down. Of course, most workers at that time I became unemployed. I don't know what to do next And when the main job itself has been closed down Most people on the island therefore choosing to leave the island together And the various structures are abandoned as we can see. But after closing The mine facilities are still there. So there's an engineer. from Vietnam and Indonesia which is related to coal mines as well Used here as a training center. Currently, as I said. There are only hundreds of people living there, and most of them are the miners who used to live here. and he retired Maybe because I don't know where to go. Or some people may already be attached to this kind of life. Or some people may not want to go back to live in the city because it is chaotic and prefer to live peacefully like this. Therefore choose to continue living here. Now I have arrived in Nagasaki already. But Nagasaki is very rural style, that is, simply use the language of the countryside, that is, very few cars. I hardly saw any people just now. is that we search near the pier The pier doesn't have any convenience stores at all. We have to drive out for about 10 minutes to get to the area where there is a village . Now we stop by FamilyMart because going up on that island they said that we don't have dinner and breakfast. If you're going to eat rice, you'll have to buy it. But he said that at the hotel Whether it's called a good hotel or not, I don't know. Because I saw in the picture it looked like like a former hospital or something, not sure He said there was a kitchen to cook. Well, it's up to everyone. Who will follow in my footsteps? This is up to me. But you have to prepare yourself. Let's go shopping in a convenience store first. It's done. This is to trick Bellephat into a deserted island. Buy all the supplies. How many baht did you buy? 6,000 yen . Bellephat must be impressed. because I told him yesterday, hey , most of the purchases are Mama If you are lucky, there is hot water . arrived A staff welcomes you to Ikeshima port . What do you want? What do you want? How about you? You're also here. Right now, you 're in Konoura . And they will have a boat around 1:40 p.m. if I'm not mistaken. Which we arrived about an hour before the time. Because we don't care about tickets. Therefore, I want to come and finish clearing the ticket issue first. because it is something that we have never been to And it's not a tourist destination that everyone goes to have to talk and clear things up first. Which now, Bellephat and Boss are talking about boat tickets. Inside this building was a quiet office. How are you? Go buy tickets now. Just now, there was no one at the ticket office. Therefore, I press the elevator up from the 5th floor, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st floor . Actually, I'm curious. In summary, it's the 2nd floor , which is the hotel's reception. In short, this is the hotel above. Oh, is this a hotel behind / hotel and then try to search Google Map and there is a hotel that can actually stay and sell tickets on the ground floor and then he goes after the staff who can speak can type in English, he said There are people who have tickets for this round. But it just hasn't come to sell, it's sold at 20 o'clock in the afternoon , which is now 1 o'clock. But we went around 1:40 p.m. , yes , but the tickets were sold at 20:20 p.m. , so they would sell them a little earlier. He didn't just sit and watch. Over there at the closed ticket office, there is no one . Okay, I understand. Now if I'm free, I sit and play with cats before there are a lot of cats. for whom who want to travel to Ikeshima Island, we can travel by taking a boat from these 3 ports. That is Oseto Port. At this port, there are ferries and speed boats. Another pier is a pier. I'm Sasebo There will be only speed boats here. As for the pier that we arrived today. The port is called Konoura, there are 3 types of ships together. is a fishing boat Speed boat and ferry which I choose the ferry because we can take the car You can cross to the island too. The price will be calculated according to the size of the car itself. There will be a boat trip . In this case, it is written that departing from this pier at 10:30 and 13:46 , but if returning from Ikeshima, there is a round trip at 09:45 and 13:17. The fare is per person. Adults 420, children 210. The cost of the car is 1,530 . This should be 3 meters, 3 meters, 4 meters. They count as the size of the car. That is, there will be seats inside. It's like a normal pier, but just without staff. There are toilets . It's a travel destination for people who like something new and exotic, it's not that popular yet. People don't know yet. that there is also here Especially for tourists who are not Japanese. Hey, I got the ticket. It's dated at 420 yen per person. For our car, it's a 4-meter car , it's 1,970. This bus ticket already includes the driver. So people don't have to buy 1 more and they're like people who try to smuggle, smuggle food . Hey, the ship has arrived. It's the same big ferry. And there was hardly anyone sitting there. He still drives it every day. That means it must have what it needs. to make the ship sail every day Because the number of people buying tickets just now is very small. We came to buy tickets, no one came to buy them except us. And we are the only car up here. There is no other person. There is only one car. The sun is out . There is only one car. There is no one . Is he coming to park? When he arrived, it was around 46 PM . The design is very precise , without waiting , there are seats on the boat, which is good, but this boat is a chartered boat. In fact, I have to tell you that this island may feel to many people that it is similar to another island. Also in Nagasaki, that is Hashima Island. It is famous for being a Battleship lsland or some people say that this is a haunted island, but Ikeshima Island is a bigger island than that. When he arrives, he will announce that let us come to the car form to prepare Because the boat has arrived. Many people go to see the island for the first time. You might think that this place is definitely a deserted island, right ? There are still people living there. But there are only 100 people living in the digits. To put it simply, only about 3% of the apartments on the island are occupied, and all of that. will be used only around the port The rest is abandoned. and become part of nature by default That is, at first we will not sleep enough on the island. We also bought tours. Namely, there will be a tour down into the mine. Difficult to reserve as well because when booking, it must be like calling to talk Just now, I met 1 person who joins us in the tour. It's an uncle . Just follow this car because we have a car that speaks English happily / well on the island. You can pay money and ride to different places, but in front of us is a car that will take you down to the mine. And enough to notice these apartments. It will be both inhabited and deserted. Yes, this one, I think it's probably both deserted and inhabited. that we see on the side of the road now Out of all the buildings, it looks very deserted. Yes , it's simple. This is like Silent Hill here, on this island. I have tours for sale. That's the coal mine tour itself. which to buy this tour We can really enter the coal mine that he used to dig in the past. How to buy a tour? It's really not that difficult. because of his website Can be translated into English But we will be able to reserve at least 3 days in advance before traveling. The tour will have a total of 2 times together, which is in the evening. In the morning, there will be 2 options to choose from, which is a regular tour. Or take lunch too In the morning and evening It will be the same price at 2,720 yen per person, but if in the morning and also bring lunch. It will be 3,170 yen per person , which is the total tour fee. must be paid in cash only Pay right in front of the event. It is advisable to prepare cash as well. And here I warn you first. Who bought this tour? He doesn't have English subtitles. It's purely Japanese speaking, but it's because of me. I really want to go into the coal mine, I want to see the real thing. So we decided to buy this tour. Even if you can't hear it which he allows us to take only some parts It's out. It's a car . He rides like a real mine car. Mine car . Mainly, he will tell about the history of this place. that before the coal mine What was its significance in the heyday? Because it's an important energy, right? Then it's enough to go downstairs. There will be a ride like a train. which he actually used in mines in the old days I got really excited and sat in. Once finished, there will be an explanation for each point. Explain that the people who work here How do they work? How are you doing, what equipment do you use? Steps in digging How is it mined? What kind of coal is produced? Including having us try to dig the tools ourselves as well And this is a coal mine tour. which is almost the only place in Japan to have this kind of experience I'm done It is a new experience that has never been experienced anywhere before. I actually got into the mine, it's a coal mine. That is, it has been explained that What are you doing inside? What is he doing? How is he doing? But it's all in Japanese, that is, I can't hear it. I use the method of guessing and guessing , so whoever comes will follow. Let's keep in mind that If you can't understand Japanese, you probably don't know much about it. And may not feel the most worthwhile. But we want experience so we come in. which he did very well On a deserted island like this, he acted like finished explaining Looks safe. / Yes , I've been able to ride in a mine car. We'll go to the hotel first. and explore the island By the time we have to go , who knows if it's an island like this? There is accommodation too. and is the only accommodation on this island as well Which I think there are not many people who come to stay very often But here is an accommodation called Ikeshima Chuo Kaikan . I thought whether to visit for just one day is enough or not. But when I thought about it, I came here anyway. So we choose to sleep here. Even though the atmosphere around it didn't seem to sleep. I must say here outside It will not look like a normal hotel. Overall, it is considered new and very clean . There are rooms ranging from rooms for 1 person, 2 people and for 3 people and the largest room. It can stay up to 8-15 people. As for the various facilities, we have all of them. like a normal hotel There is a shared bathroom. There is a hot spring bath. Various toiletries are actually provided on the island itself. They have public baths too. which can also be used for service But we didn't go there. Here, the room is on the 3rd floor, all stairs , as you can see. It's not much during the day, I'll tell you . I don't know what kind of room it is . This is room 305. It 's our bedroom. Let's look in the room. Sleep on tatami mats. The room is okay. A room like this. On the floor, there is a small TV, the windows are pasted with scotch tape, and that's it. For the time we explored the island, I must say that we have seen many signs that this place is an island that is almost untouched. It's called deserted, but many things are still very complete. There is water, electricity , and traffic lights are still working today. It's always green for cars. And it's always red for pedestrians. and on this island There is something. That's a lot. That's the cat itself. Cats are almost the main population of this island. You can call this a deserted island for cats. and most people who come to this island Having said that, some people may come to visit. Some people may come to like taking pictures. But one more thing that people like to do is fishing. This is one of the places where Japanese people He likes to go fishing very much, but what makes me I was impressed and liked this place very much. That's an 8-storey apartment here. It's a lot. There are 100 buildings and every building. It has become an abandoned building. This is almost a symbol of the island. This became the origin of the word Ghost City or the ghost town that the Japanese set up for. Well, now it's completely deserted. And every building It will be numbered. What building number is it ? There are hundreds. Hundreds of building numbers The condition of the building is still good, it's just broken down . There's even an abandoned car . But like him, like throwing it away, don't want anything like this In this house, the accommodation is... broken things. Inside is like a model. It's a completely ruined construction site . Everyone, cats, all over the island cry Can you hear the cat's meowing? Can you hear it ? Why is it meowing ? There are only hundreds of people living there. He said that there are less than 10 elementary and high school students , and there are barbers here twice a week. There are no police officers on the island. There is a post office Will come to pick up around. In fact, if you listen to this. Here, it can be considered that you can still live a normal life. If you're okay with this environment It 's starting to get dark now, that is , we can see people there , but we can count people, about tens , and then they leave the rest of the space. It's a completely desolate area. Now the atmosphere reminds me of something, you know, Walking Dead , Walking Dead city, a city that has been eaten by zombies and is also an abandoned city in many ways. For hundreds of years, nothing has changed. Everyone knows that in Japanese cartoons Where will there be the most ghost stories? School . That 's right. Why don't you go to the hospital? No, Japan especially likes to tell ghost stories in schools. Don't talk and we sleep at school too. There is a big school here. It's probably like a school. Probably middle school because the field is very wide Just now, we walk in. This is a school, which is not allowed to enter. That is, if we look at reviews of foreigners , foreigners will enter because they are foreigners. Foreigners, they will not be interested and will enter. is to enter is to enter Now everyone it The weather is getting very cold. As I said, no matter what When we travel like this Whether it's a car ride, boat ride, train ride, whatever the weather may be, sometimes it's hot and then it's cold, right? So we can use this German chamomile neck spray. It's easy to use. When you have a sore throat, throat irritation or itchy throat, you can spray it . We were a little bit annoyed. Start spraying now. which has been sprayed on, moistening the throat, refreshing throughout the trip, of course, another fold Behind us should be a clinic . I saw the medical equipment inside. Here it is, inside it looks like a bed. But more importantly, there are also persimmons here. A persimmon on a deserted island with a buzzer ringing. It's Battle Royale time. He tells everyone to hurry back into the room. What is this? Why is it buzzing? 6:00 p.m. Oh, 5:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. There's loud music, I guess. It's the time to finish work , of course, it should have been there since the mine, because if the principle is 5 o'clock in the evening, the music is loud. Going home from work after work like this, of course, what? I was shocked. The song is so cute . Here, there is a sign that says something. This shop probably used to sell mochi before, I guess. Because there are pictures about mochi, everything, rice, restaurants, pastes, I don't know what to write. Here, in front of me. Is the post office. In fact, on the island there is normal electricity. But it's just that most of the area is deserted . And he has time to do his work too. Business hours from 09:00 to 16:00 should still be in use. But there will only be one employee. I don't know, I'm not sure . Okay, the announcement board will tell. Something about the island like this one is obvious. Watch out for the snakes . There must be a lot of it. It's messy like this. Oh, just searched here, they have a Public Bath Public Bath. You can go and take a dip, it's closed on Sundays , open until 8:30 p.m. It's a lot like the apocalypse here, look, it's like the apocalypse. That is, everything is completely broken and I don't know what hit me. But guess I'm Japan. Mostly, if it's broken, it's likely to be a storm or an earthquake . Is this a bow yard? I don't know if it's a red bowling ball. Write it down. Ikeshima Family Bowl , the island's bowling alley. The atmosphere is when it gets dark, I can tell you. The plot of the horror movie is clear, let's guess what it is here. Give everyone a chance to answer in their hearts. 1 2 3 4 5 I've translated once before here . like the district office Island District Office Well, it's here now, it's 5:00 p.m., it gets dark very quickly, because there are still people living there. The Japanese way, he will not let it. Well, it's better if you ask me here. compare the wilderness I think this is the most rugged because it's like Can you imagine that it's already a deserted island? But since there are still people living Basic utilities are still available. Red light, green light. Think about it. There is water supply, there is electricity, there is a fire station, there is a post office, it has everything, even though it is an island that has been abandoned by people, yes , but Japan has to support it. because there are still people living here It's been a long time. The cabinet looks very antique. Buy it. But it's still antique. Get coins, get bank notes. Everything is cool. And there are not many options, there is coffee , there should be energy drinks. Then green tea and coke . Okay, I'm in my room. Well, they have blankets and toothbrushes too . Maybe we understand that this is a homestay feel. It's not really, he's doing a good job. Here, let me tell you, the whole hotel, there are only 4 of us, no one else. and bathrooms, everyone. He turned on warm water for her . There was a lot of smoke and took a shower in Real Japan style . Here he wrote that this is a man taking a shower. If a woman is taking a shower, turn it over to the other side, that is, take it easy, man. They can take a bath at the same time because Japanese people when soaking in the water. They are not ashamed of each other if they are of the same gender. But if a woman is bathing He will turn pink , that is, simply put, who is bathing? Just flip it to that color and that's it. End . Here's the kitchen with a microwave. There is a hot water boiler, hot water, a pan too, that is , can cook rice. There are all kinds of glasses, beer glasses, tea glasses, milk glasses, a microwave, a refrigerator . This one next to the kitchen should be a dining room, I guess because view from table Well, we finished turning on the lights, he said. please save energy It means that when we finish using it, it will be closed for him as well. This is dinner, sushi, rice balls for breakfast. cup noodles Bought it for Here, especially here, he is a Japanese-style bath. It 's just like normal Japan . Designed to make us happy , it's just right, and the bathtub is designed in a real Japanese design , unbelievable . Scary but not scary at all. And it looks new, looks clean, everything. Anyone who wants to come and try this experience can try it. Good morning. It's probably 7 o'clock in the morning . There is a loud song too. The music opens for the whole island , the mood is like wake up and let's work. What are we doing? Or what, or when you go to work? This is here. In the morning , yesterday at 5:00 PM, there was loud music all over the island. It's a song like this and in the morning at 7 o'clock there is a loud song. It should have been there since the old days. He still opens every day like this. It is probable to tell time Starting with the time to quit something like this, I guess. Opposite our room, what we see, it might not be seen here. It's a very big clinic, it's actually an island hospital. It's an abandoned hospital. It's on the opposite side. Some people are haunted . Let's go eat breakfast in the morning. very cold last night Seriously, it's comfortable to sleep, it's not like that. At first we understood that Coming to sleep at a hotel on a deserted island must be difficult, kind of scary. Really, it's very comfortable to sleep. The water soaked last night was good. the room is ok But the weather is very cold, that's all. Can't turn on the heater Let it cool all night . In the morning, the instant noodles that I bought. Then we will explore the rest. A little more that is still there. It's an area around the quarry. The shrine on the island also has a shrine. We will only go to one shrine. On this island And I really like the atmosphere because there is a crow's voice all the time , so it looks so haunting, viewers , okay , now that we've arrived at the shrine, it's actually not that deserted. I got hit by a spider web. It's blocking the entrance. It's a shrine that's not easy to build. It's like they don't put any art into it, and it also has a bell with a name. There is a room in the back There are still coins here. Someone came to make merit. I forgot to bring the coin This is the only restaurant on this island which is closed . This is clearly a cat cafe. Look, there are a lot of cats. This is the boss. Come out and test it by rubbing. Here is the water tank that can be said to have the most water I've ever seen because it 's full shape . Here, the cats here are very tame. talk about Welcoming guests and being cute and the edge of the grass is A lot of cat poop, but I feel that the cat is tidy. That is, it will come to this side. Poop on the side that is not in the middle of the road On the side that is a wasteland, it's considered smart . Here, drive a little further and you 'll find a factory or a mine's factory. This seems to be a processing zone. It 's like starting to pick it up. After digging, bring it to the job site here and come. something according to his steps I'm not sure either. Right here on the streets around the port, it's like, it's like a Shinto shrine , yes, it's a Shinto shrine , now it's around the port, that's what I said. The word Ikeshima here means a well. In the past, in the middle if you see it in the picture. It will be an old well. then he dug it through the sea There is a ferry that stops like this. then like It's like a deep sea port . This one is to put it simply, people in this area live near the port as far as I can see. Near the port, it looks like a house. But if you go deep inside like we first went There is no home This is here to see. This is a bathhouse. It's a public bath . Now it's closed . This means you can come in and take a shower. Pay and take a bath In Japan it is a normal culture. his already that he would have a shower like this Hey everyone here, they keep goats as well , that is , this zone is a zone where people live. It's not desolate around here. Here, the goats are so cute. Look at the face . He should have kept I'm not sure of the benefits of farming. Is it likely to take milk? but looks very cute It's a cute-looking goat. Okay, okay . This one tells me where the human cough came from. Is it a Thai person or is it someone who is not a Japanese person ? It's enough to look a little ajar. This is where we came yesterday to buy a tour to see the mine. Also, the back is very grand, see? But it's all broken, see? Everyone, it's like last time we saw it. It's a mine , it's a factory , it's completely abandoned. Here's the water dispenser. On the duty that we come to see the story of the mine, near the pier , there are the most people because I think that the most people would be in this area. because of this zone If you notice the building, it won't collapse. Do you see that the building is new? This is completely new. Yes, it's easy to say that there are hundreds of people living there. That is, they are here . They gather together in the building B2 B3 in front . Inside, this is that they are completely abandoned, that is, they are no longer here. This is everyone. Building A3, A4, A5, they should have people. But it's just that it doesn't fill every room. Well, they actually live near the pier and there are ships coming in and out every day . Here's the map yesterday we went, OK, this factory , here we 've been here, and here we see it for a long time. and in the drone picture We didn't go. What is it? I don't know yet. It's a lot and there's a small shrine just now driving through. old apartment This is not possible. Yesterday I drove Well, it's like it's blocking the way. The boat has arrived and it's on time. That's like, what time is it? It's 9:40 a.m. I 'm about to get on the boat and leave Ikeshima . I like this style and it's like a ruin. It's considered very unseen in Japan. someone just arrived drive across should visit I'm done Well, we're back in Nagasaki. Actually, it 's straightforward, it's easy to get back, it's not that mysterious. But it's just that it might not be popular yet. But just now, I saw people waiting to get on the boat. A lot means morning In the morning there are a lot of people People should go in the morning and come back in the evening. Well, my word a lot is more than 10 people , that's just more than 10 people . Here, they are famous for fishing too. Because at the pond in the middle where our boat is parked People like to stand and fish together, probably a lot of fish. and on the island Well, most of the time there are not many people to stay together. But if anyone wants a new experience Let's try and hold on. The zone near the pier is where people live. But if we go to the hotel where we sleep will be all deserted zones Completely abandoned Anyone who likes to take cool photos, who likes adventure, likes something new. I think this island is the most Unseen of Japan. of Nagasaki. And finally Anyone who has to travel a lot or have to go out to work And the weather is unstable and changes often. Well , here it is. Carry this. German chamomile throat spray Every time there is throat irritation Whether it's carried with you on every trip Or you can carry it around the house.
