The Gunkanjima Digital Museum, established in July 2015 following the island's inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers an immersive journey into the vibrant history of Gunkanjima (Battleship Island). Located near Nagasaki City, this cutting-edge museum utilizes state-of-the-art technologies such as virtual reality and projection mapping to recreate the island's unique atmosphere, which once boasted the highest population density in the world. Visitors can explore areas typically restricted from public access through large-scale screen displays and interactive exhibits.

The museum not only showcases the island's past—a hub of coal mining and industrial advancement—but also preserves its legacy through over 4,000 photographs and video archives that highlight the lives of its inhabitants. Gunkanjima Digital Museum aims to bridge the analog history with modern digital experiences, constantly evolving its content to inspire visitors and enrich their understanding of Japan's industrial heritage. The museum also features a shop and a café for a complete visitor experience.
