Are you a fan of agent 007 James Bond? you must have watched his movie Skyfall. Did you know that the villain's home in this movie was inspired by the HASHIMA ISLAND in Nagasaki prefecture? 

 

A brief history of Hashima Island:

The first mine shaft was dug here in 1887. Three years later Japanese engineering giant Mitsubishi bought Hashima and transformed it into a highly efficient mining facility housing workers and their families in some of the world's earliest concrete high-rises. The island expanded as Japan's demand for coal grew -- upwards in a forest of apartment blocks and outwards by a series of land reclamations.
