Abandoned Hotel in Japan (45 pics)

so nice this place!!

why are all these places in japan getting abandoned?

Why does a place get abandoned and everything left inside? And who are the photographers who come along one day and take photos? For example, if they can come along and take photos, how come the places haven't been broken into before and everything stolen/wrecked?

What an astonishing place. Why did they leave all the furniture and electronics there? What happened? What's the name of the hotel? Back story please!

Me Gusta!
How has this place stayed so immaculate for over a decade?

asi este abandonado, esta jodidamente hermoso, y es mas, justamente es el tiempo el que le ha dado una belleza superior.

wtf

WTF

why those mummified animal are there?

morrel2, if you have a look at some of the Urbex sites, you will see that Japanese abandonments are often left alone, due the the cultural respect of the people for others, and their possessions.

If this happenned in nearly any other country this place would have been a derelict shell by now, trashed and devoid of any purpose.

Drakox, people photograph these places by finding them, and finding a way in somehow. Often they are tucked away, and nature takes it's toll on the buildings making ways in as parts of the structure collapse.

A lot of these abandonned buildings are simply the failure of the business. You only have to look around you today the see the same, except in most of our societies the building is stripped of assets on its closure, and the empty builing left to the fates of the hoodies, neds and taggers.

Then the gypsies move in and strip out anything to sell for scrap. What a shit world!

Nice place to spend a Halloween night alone...

Looks like Elvis's Japanese whorehouse. Major lack of taste on the part of whoever decorated it.
