- OKAYAMA PHOTO ALBUM -
This museum is inside the Yanahara Fureai Mine Park, about a 30-minute drive from Mimasaka Interchange off the Chugoku Expressway. This facility offers a chance to learn about the history and culture that flourished around Asia's premier iron sulfide mine. Up until its closing in 1991, Yanahara mine was a highly productive mine, and at its height produced 900,000 tons of iron sulfide. The mine offers life-size replicas of the mine sets from its heyday, displays cart tracks used to haul ore, and more impressive sights. There are also tours allowing you to see agricultural products grown in the Yanahara mine shafts.

一見変な組み合わせだけど、おもしろい
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。

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.
