Give yourself the James Bond experience with a visit to the movie-famous Battleship Island, just off the coast of Nagasaki, on a Gunkanjima tour. Once home to over 5000 people, Hashima Island is now an abandoned ruin and visitors are finally allowed to explore (with a guide, of course — that abandonment can be hazardous).

- Cruise fee and island landing fees included, so no extra charges to worry about
- Digital tickets allow for a smooth boarding process and no last-minute printer panic
The tour not only includes your cruise fee, island entrance fee and tour guide on the island, it also allows you entry into the immersive Gunkanjima Digital Museum. Bringing the island to life, it’s a fantastic way to picture the bustling scenes of what was once one of the most densely populated areas in the world, before stepping onto its abandoned shores for yourself. While visitors to the island can’t roam freely, the areas that are safe to visit are more than enough to experience the overwhelming scale of what once was.
