Coal Mining Museum of Yubari
Learn about the rise and fall of coal colored
The Coal Mining Museum of Yubari is a museum themed around the coal mining industry, which was once a key industry. It opened in 1980 as the central facility of the "Coal History Village" and traces its roots back to the Yubari Local History Museum established in 1970. The museum presents the coal industry by dividing it into topics of coal and mining, showcasing the technology, labor, and lifestyles from coal formation to its utilization. Its exhibits, including dynamic displays utilizing the old Hokutan Yubari Coal Mine Tenryu Pit, are among the world's largest in scale. Yubari plays a vital role in passing down the history of the coal industry, which supported Japan's postwar recovery, and is indispensable for regional revitalization.
