• This is a 150-minute buggy tour of a mine and nature experience in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. The tour takes you around the vast 250,000 square meter mine in a buggy newly introduced in February 2025. You can enjoy learning about the mine's highlights, the rocks being extracted, and the plants that grow there. This "extraordinary space" that active families and couples can enjoy may be the only one of its kind in all of Japan. Legacy and Innovation ~Continuity and Challenge~ In an era where SDGs and carbon neutrality are being called for, it is understandable that mines are sometimes viewed as environmental destroyers. However, our company, which is engaged in mountain regeneration, has been working to open the mines during the closed period to let people know about the current situation and our efforts. With this in mind, we have been implementing various initiatives. Our mine extracts raw materials for ceramics, and we are engaged in quarrying for pottery, tiles, concrete materials, and landscaping. The role of mines has changed with the times. However, this place still has stories to be passed down and hidden charms. This experience, where you can once again feel the spirit of the mine and experience its history firsthand, may be unique in the entire country. While more and more mines are closing, this is a challenge to light a new light. It's about continuing to move forward with respect for the past and hope for the future. We will weave a new story of the mine together with buggies.
