[Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture] <World Heritage Site of Japan> Tomioka Silk Mill

I went to the Tomioka Silk Mill, one of Japan's World Heritage Sites, in Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture. As a World Heritage Certification holder, I wanted to visit Japan's first full-scale mechanical silk mill🏭. There was a wide range of exhibits, from the silk mill at the time of its opening, which supported Japan's modernization, to the cocoon warehouse and the tools used by the employees at the time, so I was able to feel not only the buildings but also the history of Japanese industry itself🙆‍♂️. I went there in the evening, so the factories standing against the backdrop of the sunset created a retro landscape🌇. *As an aside, the plants on the premises are modeled after silkworm cocoons, and I was deeply moved by the craftsmanship that paid attention to every detail.--------------------------------------------- [Access] 🚃: Get off at Joshin Dentetsu "Joshu Tomioka Station", 10 minutes walk 🚗: Get off at Tomioka IC on the Joshinetsu Expressway, about 10 minutes [Opening hours🕰] Opening: 9:00-17:00 *Last admission is at 4:30 p.m. *Closed from December 29th to December 31st [Price💰] Adults: 1,000 yen High school students to university students: 250 yen Elementary school students to junior high school students: 150 yen --------------------------------------------- #Amazing view #Gunma prefecture #Gunma sightseeing #Gunma trip #Tomioka city #Tomioka silk mill #World heritage site #National treasure #Camera trip #canoneoskissx9i #Japanese history #Industrial heritage #Modernization #I love traveling #I love history #Travel record #Cutout world #Travel in Japan #Where should I go next?
