  • 阿仁鉱山についての資料館

    かつて操業していた阿仁鉱山についての資料館です。外国人技師の住宅として使用されていた建物も保存されており、興味深く見学できました。訪問時は外装工事中で建物がよく見えなかったのは少し残念でした。

    秋田内陸縦貫鉄道・阿仁合駅のそばにある煉瓦館。かつて栄えた阿仁地区の鉱山の歴史やそれに伴い来日した海外の技師の当時の暮らしなどを学ぶことができる施設です。必見というほどではありませんが時間があるときにでも訪問するのがおすすめです。
  • 炭坑の歴史がわかります

    かつて栄えた阿仁鉱山の資料や鉱夫の生活、掘削に使用した工具や本物の鉱石が多数展示されています。隣にドイツ人技士の家があり地下通路で繋がっていて同時に見学かのうです。内部は撮影禁止です。阿仁合駅から徒歩5分の場所にあります
