Ikuno Silver Mine

Japan, 679-3324 33-5 Ono, Ikuno-cho, Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture

The temperature inside the mine is about 13 degrees all year round! This is a valuable historical site where you can experience both the current mine tunnels and those from the Edo period at the same time. The tourist tunnels convey the history of the prosperity of the silver mine to the present day. In the tourist tunnels, which are about 1,000m long out of the total tunnel length of over 350km, you can see the elevator shafts and huge winding chambers that were once used by the many mine workers, as well as chisel marks from the Edo period.
