#TomiokaSilkMill #ShibusawaEiichi Tomioka Silk Mill is a government-run model factory that supported Japan's industry during the Meiji era, and is currently a World Heritage Site in Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture. Brunat, a French foreign employee, supervised the factory. The first factory manager was Odaka Atsutada, a relative of Shibusawa Eiichi, who also appears in the 2021 Taiga drama. The factory is divided into an area that is like a museum and an area that has been left as it was in the past, allowing you to learn about history while experiencing it for yourself. I came by car this time, but there are many parking lots, and you can also get there by train. There are souvenir shops and local shops lined up around the factory, and all of the shops are old, so you can really feel the local tradition. #HistoricSites

#AccommodationReview Tomioka Silk Mill is one of Japan's modern industrial heritage sites, located in Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture, and is also registered as a World Heritage Site. Built during the Meiji period, this facility contributed greatly to the development of the modern silk industry in Japan.

Tomioka Silk Mill. I'm sure many of you remember the name from school. I was curious to see where it was and what it was like, so I went to see it! It's located in Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture, and is a 10-minute walk from Joshu Tomioka Station, so it's very accessible! It has a historic feel, and the silk mill and surrounding buildings are made of wood and red brick, so the atmosphere of 1872 is still preserved. I was moved to be able to experience the lives of the people at that time and their precious daily lives. On the tour, we went inside the factory and the guide gave us an explanation, which was very educational. Opening hours are from 9am to 5pm. The admission fee was 1,000 yen. (As of October 2022) There is value in being a World Heritage Site, and I thought it was worth visiting at least once. If you're in the area, please stop by!

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?
