Caves

Muroya Cave

Hello there! I went to a historical place named Muroya Cave, which is located in Agamachi, Higashikanbara-gun, Niigata prefecture, Japan 😀 The date of my visit was on December 25th, 2024. The weather was cloudy, and it had no wind. Its piles of snow show how cold it is outside. It was nothing but a normal day to me and was anything but Merry Christmas (big smile) Now, the sign in front of the cave says, “It is an indispensable site to get to know life in the Jōmon period.“

Mochikura Mine Ruins

Hi there! This time I went to Mochikura Mine Ruins located in Agamachi, Higashikanbara-gun, Niigata prefecture, Japan 😀 I had avoided going out because the weather has been terrible for the last few weeks. The date of my visit was on December 25th, 2024. It was cloudy and freezing. Came here at this time of year on purpose because you have a higher chance of encountering a bear in spring, summer and autumn. Putting that aside, Mochikura Mine had operated from the Meiji period to the Shōwa period. In 2022, it was accredited as a Recommended Industrial Heritage by Japan Industrial Archaeology Society. Allegedly, the Office Ruins were built of slag bricks, and you can tell they glitter when you take a close look at them. I am going to let my intro end here and start sharing the pictures of the Office Ruins first.
