Hashima Island was once a bustling coal mining facility owned by Mitsubishi. From the late 19th century to the mid 20th century, the island was populated with thousands of workers and was equipped with apartment buildings, a school, and other necessary facilities to accommodate them. At its peak in 1959, the island was one of the most densely populated places on earth with over 5,000 inhabitants.
