From 1974, it was a busy coal mine, with more than 5000 people living on the narrow 480-meter long and 150-meter wide island. This made it the most crowded place ever recorded in the world.

The discovery of coal on Hashima dates back to 1810 when the feudal lord of Saga stumbled upon this valuable resource. It wasn't until the late 1800s that industrial mining operations commenced, leading to the island's acquisition by the Mitsubishi Corporation. As the demand for coal grew, Hashima underwent significant expansion, witnessing the construction of sprawling residential and industrial complexes, as well as imposing sea walls.
