寺山炭窯跡
Moss-covered stone kiln built to fuel Kagoshima's early industrial furnaces.
A sturdy stone kiln built by the Shimadzu clan to produce white charcoal for their reverberatory furnaces. Deep in the Kagoshima forest, the mossy stone walls offer a quiet look at the fuel sources of early Japanese industry. The lush nature surrounding the kiln adds to its evocative atmosphere.
Combine this with the Yoshino Leat, as both represent the natural resources harnessed to power the Shuseikan industrial complex.
