Exploring the abandoned city of Ikeshima
Wandering through Ikeshima feels like stepping into a post-apocalyptic town, frozen in time. You'll see four or five-story buildings completely consumed by forest, a sight unlike anything I've ever witnessed. We counted over 30 abandoned apartment blocks, showing 10-20+ years of decay. It's fascinating to see how nature reclaims what man built. It's more fun exploring here than the theme park, as you never know what you'll find around each corner. Be prepared for a powerful, haunting experience.

Feral cats — The island is home to many friendly feral cats that quietly roam the streets. Despite the lack of humans, they are not wary and seem to be fed by someone. The trick to befriending them is to look at them and then look away, as direct eye contact can be seen as aggression in cat language.
