  The museum was surprisingly good giving the history of the island. The boat trip was very well organised and even though I had trouble with the audio it did not stop the enjoyment. The island itself was amazing.

• Great trip but...........

  If the sea is a bit rough and you cannot land its a shame but its still worth the trip. Unfortunately because its a Japanese language tour you pay 1000yen rental for a headset that you can barely hear over the local commentator in Japanese.

• Impressive ruins of a coal mining town from the last century.

  An audio guide and headphones are offered with English text (for reading along) and simultaneous English explanations; however, the Japanese information from the (incredibly loud) speakers in the outdoor and indoor areas completely drowns out the audio guide, making it useless. Tour on the island: exclusively in Japanese, English is only used for instructions regarding behavior and general information. That is unfortunate and was not known beforehand. Overall, one can hardly take in these impressive ruins of a coal mining town that has been uninhabited and completely decayed for over 50 years; there is neither time nor peace for that :(

  Was expecting more. The tour time says 12pm yet we did not board the boat until 1.25 so lots of waiting around if you do not want to see the museum. They do not cater for non Japanese speaking tourists; although booked for English we had to purchase a device to listen to pre recording in English. Do not expect to roam and see all the island you are limited to 3 viewing areas. Boat across was nice and staff were friendly.

• It was ok. My world wasn’t rocked.

  Didn’t get to walk around- was cancelled in the morning. Sea conditions was not great so my two family didn’t attend on the day and no cancellation option. As you have to pay in advance by a week it was difficult to know weather. Would recommend only booking on the day at the museum. The island itself was impressive but I had a seat under the stairs and couldn’t see much and you were not able to stand up so a bit of a waste to be honest. Overall experience was okay. Staff were helpful.

• Great place to visit

  The trip is worthy as you can go behind the walls and into the “city “ . Part of the glitch about the instructions of getting ticket from the museum reception can be more clear to avoid confusion

• Great daytrip for sea bears

  The sea felt a bit rough, but anyway we were able to land on the island! It was certainly a great daytrip and I would recommend it to anybody interested in combining a boat trip with the eerie island!

  Great site to visit, however choose a different provider as they did not provide what they promised, and English speaking guide.

• Interesting but limited access- no English guide

  It’s an interesting place to see but some challenges with the boat service. First when You arrive you find there’s a priority service that Tripadvisor doesn’t mention, this gives you first boarding and much nicer spot on the boat and ability to roam around on deck.. The regular seats are in order of booking, so even if you arrive early on the day you have to wait by the number on your ticket to board then obviously you get the worst seats scattered around for the hour you it takes to reach the island. We were right near the back of the queue The guide is only in Japanese on a quite harsh PA system that makes it very difficult to hear the headphone based English guide that costs 1000yen extra. So if you want to know stuff, look into it at the included museum before the trip Weather dictates whether you can land on the island. There are only 2 areas of shade and no fans etc. Boat has air con and for the return journey if you pile on first you can get some nicer seats in the main cabin

  Interesting tour of the museum and on the boat, the guides were very kind. We would have liked to spend a little more time on the island
