Japan ‘ghost town’ Kinugawa Onsen with eerie hotels visited by YouTuber Luke Bradburn

An urban explorer has uncovered a hauntingly preserved resort town in Japan, where towering hotels sit crumbling along a riverside cliff. It’s been untouched for over three decades, according to reports.

Luke Bradburn, 28, stumbled upon the forgotten tourist destination of Kinugawa Onsen during a trip to Japan in early 2024. 

While his original goal was to document the Fukushima exclusion zone, Bradburn ventured beyond the area and found a “ghost town.”
