Oya History Museum

Oya stone was mined from the area near Oyamachi, Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, and was also used as a building material for the former Imperial Hotel. The "Oya Museum" is the one that passes on the history of mining. Materials such as tools from the hand-drilling era and changes in mechanization and transportation methods are displayed in the museum.

The site of the underground stope remains as a huge space with an area of about 20,000 square meters, an average of 30 meters underground, and a depth of 60 meters. Besides being lit up, artworks are exhibited, and projection mapping is also held.　

You can enjoy a fantastic world with many actual shootings such as movies, dramas, and music videos. In addition, it is also used as a concert hall and wedding hall.

Fashionable cafes and craft shops are also provided on the Oya Museum premises, and should definitely be enjoyed after the tour by all means.
