Gunkan-jima or Battleship Island off Nagasaki





This gives you a different type of experience. Several businesses offer cruise tours, most of which include landing on the island. This island used to be a mine which supported Japan's modernization. Mitsubishi employed a lot of miners and their families lived there. The workers were paid well and the vendors who brought food, clothing, and so forth to the island enjoyed their good business.
