Metal Engineering and Mining Engineering
Japan is said to be a country with few underground resources, but there used to be mines all over the country, and underground resources such as gold and copper were actively mined. There used to be about 5000 mines in Japan, but they were abandoned by the Showa after fulfilling their mission. The remains of mines have been recognized as heritage sites with cultural, industrial and geoscientific value, and are attracting attention. Among them, Iwami Silver Mine and Hashino Iron Mine were registered as World Heritage Sites, and in 2024, Sado Gold Mine was also registered as World Heritage Site. In this book, we select 31 sites of mines in Japan. From basic data such as locations, calculated minerals and heritage registration, an overview of mines, the state of ore production, and the present state of structural remnants are introduced together with photographs. This book resonates not only with people who like mines, but also with people who like rocks and minerals and people who are interested in structural remnants. Why don't you enjoy visiting around mines with this book?
