Travel with me back in time as I explore Japan’s abandoned fortress island, Tomogashima, where you can roam freely through parts of the forgotten military gun batteries. The abandoned island is located south of Osaka, just outside Wakayama city, and is uninhabited, apart from whoever is staying at the guest house. Discover the stories behind how the island group “Tomogashima” got its name, why the fortress island was built, the lighthouse with a Scottish connection, and more modern abandoned buildings, this time from a failed tourism drive.
