Gunkanjima tour (departing from Iojima Port)
Get to know the world heritage island, learn about its history, and experience it with all five senses.
If you come all the way to Nagasaki, you should definitely go see the World Heritage Sites! For those of you, we recommend a round trip/landing tour of Gunkanjima, which was also the filming location for a movie.
On board, learn about the history of Gunkanjima and the coal mining industry.
Flights to and from Io Island depart on large ships.
There is little turbulence, and the experienced concierge will explain the basic information and history of Gunkanjima on board, so you won't have time to get bored. You can also learn about the location and history of the surrounding islands, which will change the way you see the scenery.
In a blink of an eye, a rustic island came into view, and the silhouette looked exactly like a warship! Before landing, the boat will tour around the island, so you can take photos from various directions.
Cross the pier and land on Gunkanjima!
We will walk along a tour path that surrounds part of the island. The island, where buildings have collapsed, is truly a different world. The ruined buildings have such an impressive presence that you can't help but stare at them. The contrast with the lush nature is also impressive.
Listen to the concierge's guidance while viewing the main facilities from three viewing plazas. At its peak, the population was approximately 3, and the population density was nine times that of Tokyo at the time. Learning not only the history of the island and the harshness of coal mining work, but also the real life of the islanders at the time, will make you realize once again how precious it was to be able to land on the island.
A large high-rise apartment that tells the story of life on the island
Apartment No. 1916, built in 30, is the oldest seven-story reinforced concrete high-rise apartment building in Japan. Due to the effects of typhoons and other factors, the building is currently undergoing deterioration, and the outer walls are collapsing little by little. The next time you come, the scenery may be different, and the way you see the island will also change, making it an experience of a lifetime that cannot be described as a "ruins tour".
