The Obi Mine in Bungo-Ono City, Oita Prefecture, once flourished as a mining town with a population of approximately 3,500.

This town, once lined with schools, shrines, and shops, and home to many people, has long since closed, and now only traces of its former glory remain in the quiet mountains.

This time, we will explore the history and current state of the Obi Mine, walking through the remains of buildings, shrines, and other traces of the mining town.

It may not be a glamorous tourist destination, but the time when people lived there is certainly still etched in the air.

Please enjoy until the end.
