…about one meter, but it was enough to freak us out and from here on we took more care where we trod.

At only 1.2km squared, the island is tiny, but you never can quite grasp this when you’re winding through its perspective warping high-risers. To get a better overall look we scaled the central watchtower - precarious as its old access paths was now overgrown beyond usability.

It never crossed our minds that the fisherman wouldn’t come back. We were more worried that we only had those two hours on the island, an arbitrary frame of time my friend picked in the moment of excitement when we got the green light for transport. There was enough stuff there to keep us busy there for an entire day.

And then, two days after this was written, the government re-opened it.

They should just have the a demolition crew implode all the buildings in the area and put in condos.  Surely the Japanese economy can benefit from some tourism.

Condos?  On an island that has been deserted since 1974?

Sure like a Venice in Japan.  An island hotel with romantic boat rides and sea-food restaurants.
