There are also tours allowing you to see agricultural products grown in the Yanahara mine shafts.

    子供が、柵原ふれあい公園の片上鉄道跡を見たいと言うのでそこを訪問したついでに、同じ公園内にあるこの資料館も見学しました。 資料館は、旧柵原町の昭和中期のくらしと、ここの旧鉱山の概要、使われていた鉱山技術などの展示がメインでした。展示は妙な組み合わせであるものの、鉱山の展示はなかなか見る機会がなく、面白かったです。

    奥津温泉の旅館に宿泊した翌朝、訪問。町立の歴史資料館ですが、建物は平屋のプレハブ造の簡素なもので、やや驚きました。受付に係の方がおられ、見学料は無料です。ちょうど、上映６０周年とのことで、映画秋津温泉資料展をらっていました。岡田茉莉子主演の名作で、奥津温泉が舞台。スタッフが河鹿園に宿泊したことなど、当時の資料や写真がとても興味深かったです。

Okayama Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
