An urban explorer from Manchester snuck into the abandoned nuclear control room in the Fukushima red zone - and found it frozen in time.
Lukka Ventures, 27, has been exploring abandoned buildings in the UK for four years. After watching a documentary on the Fukushima nuclear disaster he headed out to explore the 'red zones' - sites that have been closed off - around the nuclear power plant. He snooped round abandoned hospitals, malls and apartments which he said were untouched by time.

00:38 Stacked boys.
00:40 Look at this.
00:41 [indistinct chatter]
00:44 Look at all these little bits here.
00:46 [indistinct chatter]
00:48 This is insane.
00:50 [footsteps]
00:53 This place is going to have to be knocked down.
00:54 There's a lot of damage to this place.
00:57 Oh my god.
01:00 That's a glove, you know.
01:02 That's been sat there for like 14 years.
01:07 Police.
01:10 [door slams]
01:12 Oh, look behind the desk.
01:14 Look behind the reception desk in here.
01:17 Oh my god.
01:20 I can't believe it.
01:25 There is so much stuff.
01:31 Just look at everything, guys.
01:34 You've never seen anything like it.
01:37 It's so quiet.
01:38 They get the odd bang off the wind.
01:42 Got medical supplies absolutely everywhere, guys.
01:46 We can hear a police siren.
01:49 [footsteps]
01:53 [indistinct chatter]
02:06 Absolutely littered with stuff.
02:11 Picture there as well.
02:14 In this hospital too.
02:16 [no audio]
02:29 By god, look.
02:32 [indistinct chatter]
02:44 And that's what it's saying on the radiation counter.
02:46 You can see it's an absolute time capsule inside.
02:49 You can see there.
02:51 Look at this.
02:53 [indistinct chatter]
02:59 Oh my god.
03:03 Now this is going to be a good one, guys,
03:05 because this place is completely untouched
03:09 from the disaster in 2011.
03:15 Oh my god.
03:18 All the school children's bags are still here.
03:21 You can hear the music outside.
03:22 That is apocalyptic.
03:24 Wow.
03:27 This is unreal.
03:30 Look at all the trophies that I was just saying
03:32 inside the cabinet.
03:34 All their shoes are left.
03:37 Even around this side.
03:42 There's some Wabakis still there.
03:44 That person were probably not in school that day.
03:50 So that's one of the classrooms that we can't access
03:52 because the door's locked.
03:56 Mad.
03:57 There is some open classrooms upstairs, I think.
04:00 Maybe the teachers that-- yeah, teachers, I'm thinking,
04:03 back in the day when the school first opened, maybe.
04:07 All the teachers.
04:29 Next classroom is just the same.
04:32 They've got all the skipping ropes on the outside of the door.
04:36 All the books.
04:38 Little plants that they used to grow which have died.
04:43 Look.
04:46 Unreal.
04:47 Oh.
04:49 It's all the crayons.
04:51 So they've got all the crayons inside here.
04:55 And these are where all the pencil cases are and everything.
