  • 国内最大規模の同鉱脈採掘跡

    とにかくその規模に圧倒されました。これまでいくつも鉱山を見て来ましたが、ここまでダイナミックな鉱脈や発掘現場を見られるところはないと思います。とても勉強になりました。30分から40分歩きます。急な坂などはなく、歩きやすいです。特別コースプラス10分かかりますが、絶対おすすめです。
  • 歴史的建造物

    昔々鉱山が盛んだった頃の鉱山の仕事などを学べる鉱山跡地。秋田県北部の片田舎、鹿角市に来た際は是非どうぞ。
  • 予想以上に面白い場所です。

    トロッコ列車で案内してくれる訳でもなく、自力で歩いて回るだけなので、入場料1千円は馬鹿高いと思いますが、内部は鉱山の歴史を感じられ、面白く見学出来ました。夏場なら涼しくて良いかも?
