Hashima Island, sometimes known as Battleship Island, sits just off the coast of Nagasaki, Japan. The island was once home to a thriving mining community, but it has been abandoned since the 1970s.
Years of harsh weather and neglect have contributed to the deterioration of many of the city's buildings. Tourists, though, still love to explore the island's ruins that were featured in the 2012 James Bond film, "Skyfall."
