Hashima-island-Japan-NeoPlaces

Vous êtes sur une île, si, si ! Vous êtes dans les ruines d’une ville minière du Japon, Hashima Island. Et si vous regardez le diaporama, l’île vous rappellera le dernier James Bond. Eh oui, c’est cette île qui a inspiré les scénaristes de Skyfall, pour le repère du méchant. Et cette île a vraiment existé. Elle a abrité une communauté minière de plus de 5.000 personnes qui ont opéré la mine pendant environ 100 ans. Elle a été abandonnée en 1974 lorsque le Japon s’est orienté vers le gaz plutôt que le charbon. Passez jeter un coup d’oeil si vous visitez la région de Nagazaki.

Even if it does not feel like it, you’re on an island! You are in the ruins of a mining tiny city on Japan Hashima Island. And if you look at the slide show, the island will remind you the latest James Bond movie. Indeed, it is the island that inspired the writers of Skyfall to create the  villain’s lair.

And this island truly existed. It hosted a mining community of more than 5,000 people who operated there for about 100 years. It was abandoned in 1974 when Japan chose gas rather than coal as their main energy source. Go take a look if you visit the area of Nagasaki.
