Japan’s Largest Abandoned Hotel – Hidden on a Remote Volcanic Island

Today, we take you deep into the Pacific Ocean to explore Japan’s largest abandoned hotel, lost on the remote volcanic island of Hachijōjima, 300 kilometers south of Tokyo.

In the 1960s, the Japanese government promoted this tropical island as the "Hawaii of Japan" to boost domestic tourism. It worked, and at the center of this tourism boom stood the grand Hachijō Royal Hotel. Built in 1963 by a wealthy businessman named Yasuda, this massive resort was Japan’s biggest hotel at the time, attracting elites, honeymooners, and even celebrities.

With French Baroque architecture, marble staircases, and lavish fountains, no expense was spared… but the dream didn’t last. As international travel became easier in the 1990s, tourists chased real tropical destinations like Hawaii and Thailand. The hotel rebranded twice, but by 2006, it was abandoned entirely.

Today, the jungle has taken over. In this episode, we step inside the decaying remains of this forgotten palace, and uncover why this island is filled with even more abandoned resorts lost to time.
