• This is a 150-minute buggy tour of a quarry in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, offering a unique nature experience. The tour takes you through a vast 250,000 square meter quarry using buggies newly introduced in February 2025. You'll enjoy learning about the quarry's highlights, the types of rocks extracted, and the native plants. This "extraordinary space," perfect for active families and couples, may be the only one of its kind in Japan. Legacy and Innovation – Continuity and Challenge – With SDGs and carbon neutrality being widely discussed, it's understandable that quarries might be perceived as environmental destroyers. However, our company, which focuses on mountain regeneration, reopens the quarry during its closed period to let people know about the current situation and our efforts. With this in mind, we have implemented various initiatives. Our quarry extracts raw materials for ceramics, producing pottery, tiles, concrete materials, and landscaping. While our role has changed with the times, this place still holds stories worth passing on and hidden charms. This experience, where you can once again feel the spirit of the quarry and experience its history firsthand, may be unique in Japan. While more and more quarries are closing, this is a challenge to ignite 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 for the quarry together with buggies.
