☢️🇯🇵 More photos from inside this abandoned pachinko gaming arcade in the Exclusion Zone of Fukushima, Japan. The arcade has stood frozen in time since it was evacuated following the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident on 11 March 2011.

☢️🇯🇵 An abandoned #pachinko gaming arcade, in the Exclusion Zone of Fukushima, Japan. The arcade has been abandoned since the nuclear incident in 2011.

“Pachinko” is a mechanical recreational game originating in, and still popular in, Japan. These resemble vertical pinball machines, which use small steel balls. The player exchanges money for a pot of these balls, and these are the play currency; balls can be exchanged for prizes at the kiosk.

🛒☢️ This supermarket stands frozen in time following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Located within the exclusion zone, it was evacuated without warning and has remained untouched since.

This lost place was one of seven selected from my portfolio for National Geographic's recent feature on abandoned places across Japan.

🇺🇦 ☢️🏚️In 2016 I visited the #Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine.

A whole city left abandoned following the disaster at Reactor Number Four of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant at 1.24am on 26th April 1986.

Within the 20km Exclusion zone, streets have been taken back by nature. Homes, hospitals, schools, sports complexes, shops and cafes. Frozen in time,
