 I highly recommend you visit if you ever visit this part of Japan. Theplace was off-limits for 40 years. They opened it up to the public only a couple years ago. They shot a scene from James Bond Skyfall here.
Here are some more close up shots on the island:

One-leg torii in Nagasaki. The other side of the torii was blown away by the atomic bomb dropped on August 9, 1945. Somewhat amazing that the other side is still standing.

Cool shots.
When you say "open to the public" is it via tours or can anyone with a boat pull up and have a walk around.

I'm pretty sure you need to book a tour to get there.
In saying that there isn't like there is 24 hr security there nor would it be easy for someone to get out there and stop you. May be a death wish to go there alone though, besides the island being haunted as frack it is also incredibly unstable; those buildings are falling to pieces.

Ouch, yes that would suck... although deep down inside I'm glad it was a Canon DSLR  (sh*t mirrorless fanboys say)
And look at the noise in the picture displaying the damage; poor guy is gonna miss that full frame Mark III until he gets a replacement.
