We came to Nagasaki because of the deserted coal mine located on Hashima island. You have to reserve a ticket well in advance since it's a popular destination. We chose a company called Gunkanjima Cruise and their boat called "Black Diamond".
The island is located outside Nagasaki center. If it's windy and the waves are bg, like today, you are not able to go to the island, but it's still worth seeing. Take good rain jackets with you if the weather seems rainy.
The island and its decaying buildings are creepy and the damage nature can cause is impressive. The island really looks like a ghost cruise ship.
There is also other things to see during the trip. Nagasaki is located between mountains and there is lots of green mountain tops, which makes the city quite beautiful. We also saw flying fish, herons and eagles.
