Re Around a World Heritage Site: The Gunkanjima Guide [Complete Edition]

Around a World Heritage Site: The Gunkanjima Guide [Complete Edition] has been launched to convey the history and culture of Gunkanjima (Hashima), which supported Japan’s industrial revolution, and the lives of the islanders to present and future generations.

On the basis of assistance from the Gunkanjima Digital Museum—actually, by an assault on our part—we aim to create a site that conveys the present and old days of Gunkanjima, such as valuable photos and information from that time, such as coverage of Gunkanjima landing tours.
