Sightseeing Mine Tunnel Business

Since its founding, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has contributed to Japan's industrial development by developing and operating mines throughout the country. Mine tunnels that have completed their original roles continue to retain high value as industrial heritage, even after the passage of time. We have opened these former mine sites to the public as sightseeing mine tunnels, preserving mining history, technologies, and regional culture for future generations.

Sightseeing mine tunnels open to the public at sites such as the Sado Gold Mine, Osarizawa Mine, and the Ikuno area are popular educational destinations where visitors can experience history by walking through actual tunnel spaces. By preserving industrial heritage while enhancing local tourism, we deliver new discoveries and inspiration to visitors and will continue our activities that connect society through tourism while contributing to cultural preservation and regional revitalization.
