    In 50 years の Yunshang Liyuan

    Original Text

    The heritage of the glory Matsuo mine. It was a 50-year life expectancy until the sulfur mine, which was called paradise on the clouds, was replaced by oil. The paradise brought by sulfur, which is the raw material of gunpowder, fertilizer, rubber, and match, is now only in operation an intermediate treatment plant for soil pollution. Shooting is prohibited in the museum. It is a pity that I did not go to industrial ruins such as apartments left in the mountains.
