Gunkanjima (軍艦島) officially known as Hashima Island (端島) is an abandoned island in Nagasaki. I had the luck to go there one beautiful November day back in 2010, and one more time in June 2012.

Shirawai Village is lost in the mountains in Saitama Prefecture. A little trek is required to find the village, that is actually quite small and scattered on a wide perimeter.
