甲社宅19号
Company housing #19
Check-in guide and house rules

In order to promote the modernization of Japan, the Meiji-Era government turned the Ikuno mine into a state-owned enterprise. Foreign industrialists were hired to assist with the development of  a modern model mine by introducing new technologies and methods. The official residences for the mining staff at that time is the same type of  house that you will experience staying in.  (Koushataku residence).

The official residences and company housing remaining in Japan are the some of Japans’s oldest buildings and are designated as cultural properties of Asago City.

Normally, the former Ikuno Mine staff dormitory is a tourist facility, but house numbers 9 and 19 now also serve as special accommodation facilities. These are facilities where guests can experience a trip back in time and  ponder about what life was like in the Meiji era.
