It's a dead bird

Hallway. Reflections don't match

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Wish I knew what happened.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Those chandeliers, oh my. Just bought a house fitted with chandeliers everywhere and those look cleaner :D

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

This gives me Little Nightmares vibes.

For me, the feelings expressed in the pictures can be heard by Cass Elliot singing A Room Without Windows.

I love photos like these. But how about a brief description of where and what the photo depicts?

Is the clock frozen in time, like the clock on the Titanic?

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Well hell! Labels,. What, when and where? We're supposed to know everything???

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

So odd "scrappers" haven't come by to recycle the metal parts on the outside of the buildings. I'm just thinking that as someone who's into recycling. I believe the Japanese to be very much into that as well...?

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Somebody had a snack.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

I love the chandeliers

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

looks like a small roadside stand or bus shelter

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

looks like a pachinko parlor, some natural disaster happened and they all rushed and then it shut down. Wonder what happened to the money

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Tricky tardis.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

The rise of the robots.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Anyone else zoom in trying to see the year on the calendar?

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

If that's a creepiest thing you encountered in a forest in Japan I think you're doing OK. Re: Aokigahara.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

The blue box is a portal to another dimension. The ladder is a decoy.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

And why?

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Oy, those chandeliers!

Actually, I found a general sense of ownership to be way more important there than recycling - if it's not yours you don't touch it.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Why it went bankrupt? Probably due to rural exodus, thinking the location was good but there weren't enough customers coming by..

Hey Barbie you! I had similar questions, so I asked a Japanologist to write an essay about Akiya for my book (The Lost World, filled with these and a lot more images and personal notes - thelostworld.online) - but you can also google the phenomenon.. There's a lot of reasons actually, from nuclear distaster to cultural habits and rural exodus.

thank you!

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

(But even as the person that WAS in that room; I had to really look twice at this one!)

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Some of them are - but they're from all over Japan! See my reply to Xenon!

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

Hey, there's some information in the text - but these are images from various places in Japan; they have a big issue with desolate houses (13,6% of all houses, more then 8,5 million houses) - And I travelled around the country and photographed these places. More information on thelostworld.online :)

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

This was a bankrupt Pachinko hall, right above Tokyo. In Japan it's more common to leave everything once it's bankrupt. I once found a deserted pachinko hall next to a NEW, working pachinko parlour.

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

This was a deserted restaurant on Hokkaido, I think it went bankrupt years ago...

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

It's a industrial printer :)

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

This was a small shed, I think it just became unused..

The Lost World: I Took Pictures Of The Magically Desolate Places Of Japan (22 Pics)

It's a doorway :)
