31 Photos That I Took Inside The Biggest Abandoned Hotel In Japan
It was the largest hotel in Japan. It is located on a remote volcanic island, almost 300 km from Tokyo. There are no beaches, only divers will find something to do.
Unfortunately, it was not sustainable for such a large hotel to remain open. Despite several attempts to bring it back to life, the hotel closed its doors for the final time in 2006. It’s amazing that some of the rooms have developed their own ecosystems, while others are untouched by time, other than a bit of dust.

I'm not a huge fan of these posts with no context, I have questions dammit! Why was it abandoned? What did it look like before?
More than everything, I'd like to know the name of the hotel and the island... I understand the source links are there, but shouldn't names be the basic info to be included in a post about a location? I know that many times names are not disclosed to prevent vandalism, but this is not the case.

I was thinking the same. I don't get why they just sell off these expesive furniture pieces when shutting the place down. A grand piano would be worth a couple thousand alone...

Mysterious, Enchanting, Haunting and Beautiful....Dammit Japan. Stop being so cool TT - TT
That's pretty cool. Amazed there're still so many things inside, all the TVs and small statues and stuff, shocking no one took that...or perhaps that's something only people here do I guess. If it was here, all the windows would have been broken and everything that wasn't nailed to the floor would be carried out within a year after closing>.> Oh and add ugly graffiti to all the walls.
It's on an island. Not like you can just walk in on your way home... That's the reason nothing was taken away....

These photos are absolutely amazing. The whole abandoned element and lighting makes them so erie and interesting.
I like the bird statue. I don't get why it was left behind. The furniture and piano could have been donated or sold too but that's bigger and much harder to transport.
They got all of those things there, so no more difficult to take them away. Must be a tax write-off.

I don't understand why the furniture, electronics and various ornaments are still there. If you're going out of business, logic would dictate that you try to sell those to make a least a few $ to cover even a small portion of your loss.
As amazing as pictures of these abandoned building are, th waste of resources always drives me up the wall. Ok, so noone wants that building, anymore, fine. But why not sell the furniture? Or give it away? Abandoned grand pianos are heartbreaking.
Why was all that expensive equipment (TV's, refrigerator, piano, etc) left behind? If the place went bankrupt, wasn't all the valuables supposed to be sold to pay off creditors and previous owners. Sooo many questions.
Love these posts. So interesting! Did you need special approval to go inside?
Wow. This place is so mysterious and beautiful at the same time! I loved the picture with the piano in it. A lot of the items in the pictures look almost 'artefact' like.
Living such expensive furniture to waste is cruel but then could the place be haunted or filled with sad memories.
if you know how to use internet, and do a bit of investigation, here you can find everything you are asking yourself about this majestuous abandoned hotel..........https://urbexsession.com/en/hachijo-royal-hotel/
Gonna have to check YouTube to see if Exploring with Josh or RnK All Day has visited this place. They tell the backstory! Gorgeous photos - awesome that there's no graffiti damage - all natural decay. :)
Whar amazes me is that there was so much nice furniture left there.
Well, the mansion seems to be in middle of nowhere, but it's not. There are houses next to it (around 50m)... and next to seaport... look at google map: The Hachijo Royal Resort on Hachijojima Island (ty agfox for the tip)
You should sell these photos to companies that develop online escape games. They are brilliant photos that would lend a tone of ominous mystique to create an amazing game.
I'm surprised to see all these furnishings still there that look like, even now, they would be of significant value if cleaned up. Especially the piano and pool table. Why didn't the owners sell them to recover some of their losses? Why haven't they been looted?
This is awesome 😱 but i feel sad because of what happened to this wonderful place :(
It's weird that some rooms look like they're ready to receive guests, while others are complete ruins.
i dont understand why someone would leave all the furniture behind ? - why not donate it ? - also i have a lot more questions hoping google will answer these.
Nat, thank you. Was it solid? There is stuff like these yet people are still forced out into the streets.
Why would they not remove the furniture, expensive piano's (very clean and in perfect condition considering the other furniture) and chandeliers? You would think that they would try to recoup some of the loss.
Probably too costly to remove - if the island is that remote and without beaches. Unfortunately it was probably cheaper to just leave it all.

Notice something? No vandalism. No broken windows. Even TVs are still there. Maybe it`s because they have tight security, but I think it's maybe the Japanese good manners.
No, it is not a mystery. The photographer provides the answer. It was no longer financially viable to have and run such a big establishment in that particular location. He refers to fishing and fishermen as the only visible form of business in the area, and that should obviously answer a few pertinent questions. We can all do the research. No one can answer all the questions in a short article with photographs. The building is just too big.
It's odd how some rooms are still pretty intact while others are completely destroyed
Some of the rooms are in pretty good shape, for being left to their own for so long. I'm sure that they're pretty gross if you were to actually be there, but I'd live there during the apocalypse
If any part of a building has been damaged by water or moisture then the whole building probably has a huge mold problem. That is why Urban Explorers usually should wear mold raspirators. If a building has been abandoned a long time then it is usually a better idea to demolish it and build a new building if someone wants to move to that place.

It looks beautiful in the morning but at night, i can imagine Samara will show up there
An example of cultural and societal differences between Japan and the US. Here, the hotel would have long been looted and vandalized.
I like how it has a grand ruins feel at parts but also at certain parts a run down cozy home slowly being taken over with the elements, I really like it :>
You have to wonder why the contents weren't sold off and why it looks like it was trashed a thousand times. Otherwise if it wasn't trashed or looted, why would all the rooms look it that?
Is there anything in Japan that isn't beautiful? And that's a rhetorical question, folks. But even the abandoned buildings are wonderful...sigh.
History of politics. ♥ (I know it wasn't a real question, but I had to answer that. I love Japan too btw.)
