Nagasaki City Takashima Coal Museum

Takashima Coal Mine, which supported Japan's modernization

The Takashima area developed from the Meiji to Showa eras with the coal industry as its only core industry. However, due to changes in the national coal policy, the Mitsubishi Takashima Coal Mine, which has a long history and tradition, was closed in 1986 (Showa 61).
Since its opening in 1988, the Takashima Coal Museum has been preserving and exhibiting valuable coal materials from the coal mine, such as trolleys used inside and outside the mine. The model of Hashima (Gunkanjima) in the green plaza in front of the building was installed to convey to future generations the vibrant appearance of the Hashima Coal Mine when it was in operation. There are also many ethnic materials on display, including old photographs of the town and old agricultural equipment. It has been designed to be easy to understand, including a video corner and library materials.
In Takashima, in addition to this facility, you can tour other historic sites that supported Japan's modernization, such as the World Cultural Heritage Site Takashima Coal Mine (Hokkei Well Ruins), the Glover Villa Ruins, and the statue of Mitsubishi founder Yataro Iwasaki. .
