This abandoned Japanese hospital has remained untouched for decades. With vacant beds, old medicine bottles, and surgical tools, it was interesting to discover the machinery of an old Japanese hospital.
The eerie snaps of the clinical, run-down buildings were taken by Russian urban explorer Ralph, who lives in Kyoto. This hospital, built in the 1960s and probably closed in 1993 is located in the middle of a large urban area.
The two-story hospital building had been abandoned for many years, I was the only “patient” in the ward. A room with six beds, an air conditioner that has not been working for a long time above the window. On the walls were the handles of the wired remote control. Technologies of the 1970s, long before the era of infrared remotes.
The hospital room opened onto a long, wide corridor along the entire length of the building. Furniture, boxes, and incomprehensible equipment were piled up along the walls. The doors of numerous rooms were opened, inviting visitors to explore it.
This hospital was in fact moved to a newly built place, and old machines were left unusable here, scattered randomly everywhere. The hospital was degraded but there remain many things from its past. The operating room was still intact.
The rooms were empty, but there was beautiful lighting and a strong smell of moldy wood. Scalpels, forceps, and other surgical equipment rusting away at the abandoned Japanese Hospital. The hospital was closed down after going bankrupt – meaning this perfectly fine equipment goes to waste.
