Takashi Shimanshiryokan [Barrier-free] Nagasaki City Takashima Coal Museum

This museum is located on Takashima Island, 14.5 km in circumference, 6.4 km offshore from Nagasaki City. We preserve and display materials from the Takashima Coal Mine, which supported Japan's modernization from the Meiji period to the Showa period. The Takashima Coal Mine began with the opening of the Hokkei well in 1869 (Meiji 2) and continued for 1986 years until its closure in 61 (Showa 117), making it the longest operating mine in Japan. Inside the museum, there are panels introducing the history of coal mining and the people involved, as well as displays of mining tools and work clothes. The model shows the above-ground and underground mine shafts in Takashima, making it interesting to see the size and depth of the Takashima Coal Mine, as well as the places where people lived. The floor inside the building is flat, but there are stairs to access the entrance and the second floor. There is no permanent resident, so you can tour freely, but you are responsible for turning on the lights etc. inside the building yourself. There is no parking lot. The toilet is located at the back of the building, but it is not a barrier-free toilet.

There is an entrance to the building and stairs to the second floor.

There are 3 steps at the entrance to the building and 18 steps to get to the 2nd floor. The entrance is narrow and barely large enough to accommodate one wheelchair. The exhibition space inside can be easily viewed by people in wheelchairs.
Restrooms are located outside the museum.

Once you exit the building and go around the back side, there is a toilet block. Although it is separated by gender, there are only Western-style toilets and no barrier-free toilets.

Takashima Coal Mine, the longest operating coal mine in Japan

The Takashima Coal Mine has a long history; coal was discovered in 1695 (Genroku 8), and the Saga clan and Thomas B. mining is now being carried out. The museum provides a detailed history of the Takashima Coal Mine from its beginnings to its closure in 1986.
There are also exhibits showing the people living in the mining town and the daily necessities that were used there.
