cool! You guys rock! Thanks for the great content
skyfall island
Awesome. Great video.
Another great video!
I swear to god you deserve more views.
wonderful as always. woot!
You continue to amaze me with these places I have never heard of! Fantastic video and thanks for sharing!
Well done. Had never heard of this.
im actually working on permission to do a video here!
Awesome clip! Is the island open for tourists?
Amazing video once more. It's unfortunate to know that Japan has previously applied to UNESCO without mentioning forced labour. Takashima Island is not so far off. Many Koreans that have died in Hashima were buried there. However, many do not know of this tragedy because documents containing the reasons of their deaths were burned.
when is new video coming out
wow keep this coming! You should do a video about the place here in sweden Kiruna! Ice castle
Well done 🙂
Great video! I thought I should point out that the image you used around 1:40 is definitely Kowloon walled city though, not Hashima.
you are simply awesome
and sooo hardworking !!!
Great work !!! 🙂
P.S. I love ur voice
looks like a great spot for a resort and offices.
It looks like it can be a great set for a Hayao Miyazaki theme park.

I thought i was watching million subscribers youtuber
It's a wonder no one's gone back to redevelop it. It might help ease the huge population on he mainland.
Nature will takeover as it should.
Normally I don’t like ruins, but somethings about those were peaceful/appealing
