Fukiya Furusato Village Kyodokan

This facility is about a 40-minute drive from Nimi Interchange off the Chugoku Expressway. The town of Fukiya flourished in the Edo period as a center for mining copper and red ochre iron oxide pigment. The rare and valuable townscape retains Edo atmosphere, with several kilometers of buildings, including the mine and production facilities, preserved as they were. The Furusato Village includes the Old Katayama House, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, as well as the Kyodokan; the elegant Hirokane Residence, used as a filming location for the movie Village of Eight Gravestones; and other worthwhile sights. You can also try activities like pottery and glazing, red ochre dyeing, and more.
