Forbidden Places Around The World You Cannot Visit

Hashima Island

Hashima Island

Also known as the Battleship Island, Hashima Island is an island situated approximately 15km off the coast of Nagasaki. Once a thriving industrial town, when mining activities ceased on the island it was closed in 1974, and since been abandoned. A bit like Pripyat in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. We can see that nothing much changed after all these years, with abandoned buildings standing still, like a ghost town. But the good news is, people can supposedly visit Hashima Island under certain conditions. Heres a fun fact, this is also the filming location for the movie Skyfall (James Bond).
