Ghibli-Inspired Adventure at Miyadani Quarry Ruins, Fukui

【OUTLINE】 We will guide you to a secluded, closed-off quarry deep in the mountains while walking on forest roads and taking a forest bath! A tour to experience the world of Ghibli. The quarrying of stone began around 1887 (Meiji 20), approximately 140 years ago, but after the war, as cement became widely used as a building material, the demand for stone drastically decreased, and the mine was abandoned. We will guide you to another world on a mystical tour. 【HIGHLIGHTS】 A guide will take you through a secluded area that is usually off-limits. You can immerse yourself in an other-worldly experience unlike your daily life. Enjoy a forest bath in a space of tranquility.
