[2025 Izunokuni Attraction] Travel Guide for Nirayama reverberatory furnace (Updated May)

#ShizuokaTourism When you think of Atami, you think of hot springs and seafood, but there are many other things to see. My personal recommendation is Kinomiya Shrine⛩ It is famous for a large camphor tree that is over 2100 years old, and it is said that walking around the trunk once will extend your life by one year. There is also a space for taking photos. The Nirayama Reflection Furnace also has many things to see. You can see it from the free parking lot, but I recommend going inside with a guide. You're sure to hear some interesting stories! And when you think of Shizuoka, you think of Mt. Fuji and Sawayaka, but you can see Mt. Fuji from Sawayaka in Mishima. The stained glass inside the store is Mt. Fuji! I personally think that the best spot to see Mt. Fuji is the Mishima Skywalk. On a clear day, the view is spectacular. Give it a try. 🗻 It takes about 40 minutes by car from Atami to Mishima in Izu. #breathtakingview #coupletrip #tripmemory2022 #hotspring #wintertrip #gourmet #gourmetfood #Izu #Izutrip #Atami #Shizuoka

I knew that in 2015, related spots around Japan were registered as World Heritage sites as part of the Meiji Industrial Revolution in Japan, but I didn't know that one of them was in Izu✨ So I went to the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace right away! However, unfortunately the exterior wall was under repair😭 (I think it's finished now) Instead, I was given a clear file with a picture of the exterior. First, I learned about the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace at the museum and saw the real thing. Although most of it was covered with sheets, the remains of the furnace, which are a highlight, were visible. Although it looks shabby overall, I was deeply impressed by how important it was to the development of Meiji Japan. After the tour, I ate eel at a nearby restaurant and went home. I forgot to take a photo, but the nearby Egawa Residence, an important cultural property, is also a must-see! 📍 260-1 Naka, Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture #WorldHeritage #History #IzuTrip #trip2022

The Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace is a World Heritage site located in Izu Nagaoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, that proves the history of the Industrial Revolution. This site, registered as a World Heritage site as a component asset of the "Iron and Steel" sector of the Industrial Revolution Heritage Site, is one of two remaining reverberatory furnaces, along with the Hagi Reverberatory Furnace in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Egawa Hidetatsu, the governor of Nirayama, advocated the need for coastal defense after Perry's voyage to Japan, and under orders from the shogunate, he began work on the construction of an iron furnace that would enable the casting of cannons, and the Nirayama Reflection Road was completed. The cannon cast here is a Western-style cannon called an 18-pound cannon, and a replica is on display on the premises. 📸 At the museum nearby, the origins of the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace and the casting method of the cannon are explained in an easy-to-understand theater screening. 🎥 *I felt the tireless efforts of the people at that time... 😳 In addition to the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace, which led to the modernization of Japan, Nirayama is also associated with Minamoto no Yoritomo, who opened the era of the samurai government, and is a place where you can feel the history that transcends the boundaries of time. 😌 ---------------------------------------- [Access🚃] Get off at Izu Hakone Railway "Izu Nagaoka Station" About 30 minutes on foot *There are bicycle rentals close to the station, so it is recommended to go there while cycling. ♪ [Price💰] General: 500 yen *If you are also going to the nearby Egawa Residence, we recommend purchasing a joint ticket!
