The Nogata City Coal Mining Museum preserves and shares the history that helped shape Japan’s modernization.
On its grounds are several historically significant structures, including the former Nogata Chamber of Commerce of the Chikuho Coal Mining Association, a rescue equipment storage warehouse, and a simulated mine shaft used for rescue training.
Among these, the museum’s main building—the former Chamber of Commerce—and the simulated training shaft have been designated as National Historic Sites.
