This abandoned cablecar station was on the same mountain as an abandoned hotel that I posted here a couple days ago. The building was locked up pretty tight and I thought I wouldn't find a way in, but then I find a secret passage into the basement underneath the cablecar tracks. The basement was pitch black and full of bats and I eventually found a way up to the next floor. This was such a fun place to explore because it really felt like a maze finding my way up to the top of the building. And it really felt like a time capsule to 1950s Japan. The whole place reminded me of the vibe of the Fallout video games.

Another awesome set! Lucky score on the fog... it really adds to the feel...

Love the architecture, such a unique Bldg! and, you got some cool foggy tunnel pics!

Wow, what a find! That shot of the tramway station and tunnel in the fog is solid gold. Keep these places coming!

Props for figuring out the way in and shooting through the bats and fog.

You just don't stop bringing the unique spots. Very neat location here.

Looks like a humid day. I recall when I visited Nagasaki around 2006, it was as foggy as this when I took an active cable car up a mountain, which was totally pointless considering the lack of visibility but still worth it.

I love the mist in the tunnels!

Those tunnel pics are a solid 10/10, looks awesome. Especially the one that is looks down the mountain.

Stunning

Bats, why did it have to bats....or was it snakes!

Japan has some beautiful stuff to shoot. Great find and photos !

Hey thanks for the comments everyone! I almost didn't post this one because I wasnt sure if it was interesting enough. Glad everyone liked it. I have just a couple more cool sets from Japan I will post later.

What a beautiful place. Thanks for the photo-tour.

WOW, this is one of the most mystical urban exploration locations I've ever seen. I can hardly believe it's a real place, great place and great shots!

Love #1 and #5 especially. What a cool, vertical building. Also, is that a fencing mask in #16?

Hey I'm glad you like it! That's a kendo mask in #16.

Well damn. That's cool.

what an insane locations. the mist really adds to the scenery. great captures!

One of the most beautiful abandon locations I have ever seen, so jealous.

Very nice! I like the gear house (or mechanical room) shots, but you can't beat fog shots. I explored a mostly abandoned mining town in Pennsylvania a few years back and was fortunate to arrive on a foggy morning, adding a 'silent hill' ambience to my shots. Well done, thank you for sharing!
