This is a museum plus attraction which show case the past old mining facilities and let you have a feel about the experience the workers had in the past . They have a mini gallery / walk through which showcase to us the development of this place in the past and some of the objects they have found. This museum is located on a mountain which means the temperature is colder there hence when we reach the cherry blossom are still blooming (: Lucky us we took quite a few shots hehe xD  

Inside this place, they have this Japanese palace building along the way to the Gold mine museum that we didn't enter as the queue was too long.  

All of this is made with timber , it's very solid and practical with their design.

This Japanese Palace have not start yet and people are already queuing , well
the queue is behind the red shirt old lady hahas

Overall this was quite an interesting trip as i never had been into a tunnel before and i get to experience how  it feels like.There wasn't any natural light source that could get in and if you are alone you will definitely be frighten , as the path is a very long and have many turns to made along the way  I only felt safe when i saw the light ray of day light trying to get in the tunnel. People who have difficulty breathing might not be suitable as the oxygen level might be a bit lower than outside.
