Okinawa Haikyo 廃墟

The Sunset View Inn or Shah Bay Hotel is located on an isolated hill in Northern Okinawa and has a security guard that patrols the grounds. 
If you take a close look at the windows of the hotel, you will see that most have all been broken by years of typhoons.
Aside from damage from mother nature, places like the hotel lobby remain almost completely intact. 
On the top floor, The Sky Lounge Restaurant and Golden Shower still had plates on the table and the kitchen still had cans of food on the shelves.
Even after being closed for 16 years, the gift shop even still had souvenirs left of the shelves. In the laundry room there were still linens sitting in baskets waiting to be washed and the banquet hall was set up for party.

Luckily due to its remote location, this hotel has remained relatively free of vandalism. I only spent about 30 minutes exploring this amazing abandoned hotel, but everywhere I went it looked like the hotel had only closed just yesterday.
