Battleship Island in Japan off-limits to tourists

File photo taken in April 2015 shows the World Cultural Heritage-designated Hashima Coal Mine, known as Battleship Island, off Nagasaki, southwestern Japan. The Nagasaki city government said July 31, 2019, that it had made the island off-limits to tourists after dust feared to be asbestos was found in the air. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
