Plan description

This 90-minute buggy tour takes you around the vast 250,000-square-meter mine in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. This tour takes you on a new buggy, introduced in February 2025. You'll enjoy guided tours of the mine's highlights, the rocks extracted, and the native plants. This "extraordinary space" for active families and couples may be the only one of its kind in Japan. Legacy and Innovation: Continuity and Challenge. With the SDGs and carbon neutrality being widely advocated, it's not surprising that mining is perceived as an environmental destructor. However, as a company focused on mountain restoration, we have been opening up the mountain during our downtime to let people know about our current situation and efforts. With this in mind, we have implemented various initiatives. Our mine extracts raw materials for ceramics and develops stone for pottery, tiles, concrete materials, and landscaping. The role of mining has changed over time. However, this place still has stories to tell and hidden charms to treasure. This may be the only experience in Japan where you can once again feel the breath of a mine and experience its history. As an increasing number of mines are closing, this is the challenge of lighting a new light. It means continuing to run with respect for the past and hope for the future. Together with the buggy, we will weave a new story of the mine.
