Haunting new photos show the toxic Fukushima earthquake evacuation zone frozen in time five years after residents were forced to leave.

Wearing a gas mask, photographer Keow Wee Loong, 27, sneaked into the forbidden “exclusion zone” to snap photos of eerie untouched cities.

He discovered calendars on walls from March 2011, old food still on the shelves and half-finished loads of laundry, he told Barcroft Media.

“Fukushima is like an untouched ghost town. This was one of the creepiest things I have ever seen,” Loong said.

“The residents left so quickly, they didn’t even pack or take anything valuable with them.”

Loong visited four cities — Tomioka, Okuma, Namie and Futaba — which were evacuated suddenly after the earthquake and tsunami struck the east coast of Japan in 2011.

A 50-foot wave slammed into the Fukushima power plant, triggering a radioactive leak — and setting off the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in April 1986.

Loong visited the highly toxic “red zone” at night to avoid being caught by police, he said.
