Yubari Coal Mine Museum

Overview

Explore the Yubari Coal Mine Museum, located in the former coal-mining city of Yubari, Hokkaido. Once a thriving theme park centered around the coal mining industry, the museum now stands as a reminder of the area's rich history. Visit the renovated Coal Museum to learn about the evolution of coal mining labor and technology, the history of the mines, and the lives of the miners. While the surrounding theme park area is largely defunct, the museum and the exposed coal seam of Hokkaido Natural Monument are still accessible. Located at 7 Takamatsu, Yubari City, Hokkaido, it's a poignant look into Japan's industrial past, approximately an hour from New Chitose Airport.
