undersea coal exploitation (1890) pioneered by Mitsubishi – and host to one of the world’s
most extraordinary former mining communities. Hashima Island is located 3 km southwest of
Takashima, and it was the success of Takashima that led Mitsubishi to purchase this island,
both islands giving access to the same undersea coal deposit. Now Hashima is a ruin called
“Gunkanjima”, so called after its resemblance to the silhouette of a battleship.
