Hashima is a small island off the coast of Japan that was originally inhabited because of the discovery of coal on and beneath the island. It was once considered to be one of the most densely populated places on the planet, with 334 people per acre opposed to the 42 per acre in New York City. However, this island is now completely abandoned in the middle of the East China Sea,
