Abandoned Hotel in Japan (44 pics)

Posted in Lifestyle » Travel 12 Apr 2012   / 4837 views

Despite the sky-high prices for land and realty there are still desolate buildings in Japan. This motel had been built in 1973 and was closed and abandoned in 1997. Separate stairs lead from the hall to each of the ten rooms and the interior is very similar to the “love-motels” where you can book a room for two for just a couple of hours.

Hashima is also known as “Battleship Island” because of its unique shape. It used to be a coal mining facility that operated from 1887 till 1974. Then it was shut down. The mines are now bare and empty. That’s why the island is given a new nickname “Ghost Island”.

People who live in Japan can easily get rid of their old electronics and household appliances, whether they are working or not.

Discarded TVs, printers, washing machines and other products are not resold to the population. They are sent to China for further disposing and component parts.
