Old Coal Mine

I thought this old mine was quite “educational” to visit and gave a glimpse into one of Japans now extinct coal mines. This was a small operation and the equipment used was a trip back in time.

The building was under repair and I couldn't go inside. After watching the video, the volunteer explained it. Even though admission is free, he explained it very carefully. Thank you for answering the color 々 questions. I was able to feel the history of coal mines.

I took a leisurely tour while listening to the guide's story

It was a place that was noticed in the world heritage site in the past, but it was quiet when I visited. There was also a volunteer guide here, and I went with １ person, but he explained it carefully. It's better to have an explanation than just see it. I was able to touch coal. You can visit it for free, and the facilities at that time remain, so I think it's well worth a visit. However, it seems difficult to get there without a car.

Four years have passed since it was registered as a World Heritage Site, and I thought that tourists were also on the decline, but when I visited, it was crowded with dozens of group guests. If you turn it over, there would have been no customers without that group. Unlike the nearby Manda Pile, you can visit this for free. Moreover, there are several volunteer staff who will also guide you. Manda Pile is higher in terms of the size of the building at the coal mine site, but the cost performance is good here.
