Former Ikuno Mine Staff Dormitory (Company Housing Type A) Shimura Takashi Memorial Museum

Japan, 679-3301 697-1, Kuchinonaya, Ikuno-cho, Asago-shi, Hyogo Prefecture

Built in the Meiji era, this is one of the oldest remaining mining dormitory and company housing in Japan. Built after 1876 (Meiji 9), this is one of the oldest remaining mining dormitory and company housing in Japan. You can see the changes in lifestyle, such as baths, hearths, and fixtures, from the Meiji era to the Taisho and Showa eras. The famous actor Shimura Takashi, known for his work in Akira Kurosawa's films, was born in the former Ikuno town, and his childhood home was one of the "Company Housing Class A" buildings. Class A 7 has been restored to the Taisho era furnishings in which he spent his childhood, and the Shimura Takashi Memorial Museum displays items related to him.
