Sekitan Memorial Park

Real coal mine labor

Original Text

It seems that the reproduction of the company house of the target of the Meiji period was reproduced to a relatively small detail. At that time, I was wondering what kind of life I would have lived if I was engaged in coal mine work like this. There was also an exhibition about materials about labor unions and music activities of workers.

History of Japan's Energy Industry

Original Text

The coal industry in the Chikuho region has been destroyed by oil, but it is a history museum where you can see the history of the coal industry. There is an exhibition of the company house at that time, but there is one lacking in a sense of life. Is there not enough accessories?

It is located on the site of the Ida Mining Co., Ltd., Mitsuidagawa Mining Co., Ltd., a small high place less than 10 minutes walk from Tagawa Ida Station. Google Maps shows you to leave the station building and go to the right, but there is a tunnel that is a shortcut on the left side of the station building. It is a park like a cleanly maintained square, but it is said that two chimneys, pit pits, and steam locomotives (9600 types) preserved in the garden once had a coal mine here.

You can see two chimneys from a distance.

Original Text

The Chikuho region prospered as a coal mining town that supported modernization in the Meiji era. Now the coal industry, which is already underground and mined, is over and converts that era into a tourist resource as part of history. Two large chimneys here could be seen from a distance.

Nice view.

I came for the first time this time and it is a very nice view. You can overlook Tagawa City. In addition, the square is large and many people take a walk early in the morning. For its wide area, it is a reasonable distance to go around and it is a place of familiar relaxation.
