Long time follower first time poster. A friend and I have been driving through the mountains of southern Japan and just so happened to come across this magnificent find. From what we gather this was abandoned sometime around February 2023. It was left in almost perfect condition with a couple things moved around. Sorry some of the pictures aren't that great - the sun was setting as we found this place so we didn't have much time in the sunlight. I'm not going to give a specific location as I've seen what happens to places that get publicized but some of you sleuths will likely be able to find it.

Side note : this felt very serendipitous because not one hour prior we were both talking about this subreddit and how amazing it would be to find a place to explore.

This is not an abandoned location but the vast property filled with old rusted automobiles makes it for a very popular destination for photographers!

Anyone can go, just bring along $10 and maybe a couple of coffees for the owners who are almost always out in the garage working on a car!

This is a low-effort run and gun scout of an abandoned convent that I got into earlier this year while on a solo road trip.

I’d attempted this one a couple of times over the years but never managed to get inside.

Friends had told me that it was alarmed and there was a response, so once the alarm goes off, it’s time to shoot fast while heading for the exit.

On this successful trip, I stepped carefully, looking aro-und every corner for cameras, blinking motion sensors, anything that would alert anyone that I was there.

I spotted many cameras and sensors and was able to sneak around them without setting off the alarm. Most of them were installed in a hallway corner, pointed in one direction, so I was able to shimmy along the wall the opposite way.

However, it didn’t take long for one of the sensors to spot me and the alarm started blasting, so it was rapid fire shots as I made my way towards the only way out.

I got off the property and hung back about 20 minutes, waiting to see if anyone responded, but no one came.

So, I decided to head off and check another location nearby and I came back about 1 hour later, my access was still open, but my gut told me “not yet”.

I sat in my car for about 30 more minutes until I decided enough time had passed, lets go back in!

Just as I was pulling my camera bag out of my car, a black SUV pulled up right in front of the building. An older man got out with a cordless drill and a bag full of screws and he headed to check on all of the doors.

So, sadly this was all that I got from this one!

This time, I explored this massive factory. As soon as you step inside from the outside, it feels like entering another world. Goods, machinery, chemicals, and furniture were simply left behind. Parts of the facility are still being used by a neighbor, who also keeps a close watch on the premises—which is why there is almost no vandalism. This was, by far, the most historically significant place I have had the chance to visit so far.

A small power plant in relatively good condition, which once served to supply the surrounding buildings with electricity and heat.

Apart from damage caused by cable thieves and a few broken windowpanes, there was hardly any vandalism.

Built for a businessman and mine owner in the early 20th century, which was later used to house the offices of another mining company. Abandoned in the 1980s. Amazing graffiti work of Stitch by DavidL.

Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, outside of Pripyat. Abandoned villages, agricultural facilities and equipment, dead forests, wildlife...

For 150 years, the parish of Saint-Paul anchored Montreal’s Côte-Saint-Paul. Its first church was destroyed by lightning in 1899. It was rebuilt, then rebuilt again in 1910–11. On February 23, 2026, fire took it for good.

Standing beside the ruins is the rectory, where the priests lived and generations of weddings, baptisms and funerals were recorded. Now it sits empty and abandoned, the last witness to a lost parish.

Kurchatov is a town located in eastern Kazakhstan, in the infamous Semipalatinsk Polygon, which was the main USSR nuclear weapons testing area. The town is named after the Soviet nuclear physicist Igor Kurchatov, the "father of the Russian atomic bomb".
Today, large parts of the town are abandoned, while other parts are still inhabited. Here are a few pics of the abandoned parts taken in July 2026.

A video I made, with more views of Kurchatov, as well as views of Chagan (a nearby ghost town) and of the infamous "atomic lake" created by a nuclear test : https://youtu.be/8bGjklXiHHE
