The 10 Best Japanese Ghost Towns {Asylum}

Feb 25th 2010 9:54AM It almost looks like a whole world has been deserted ! Very Creepy indeed! My question is why haven't these places thrived? I mean there are Millions of people living in Japan why have these places been forgotten/not visited and maintained? Some pictures reminded me of the TV show LOST. I just can't put my head around how people just up and left one day...or was it gradual? And who were the very last to abandon these particular places? What were they thinking..."ok hon, the kwon's from down the street just left, i think we are officially the last people here. Should we leave now?" Or was it more like a mass exidus? Hmmm I wonder? Well thank you to the person responsible for bringing these curious pictures out. You've given me something to think about. I love 'em.
