Listed as World Heritage. It worked for more than 100 years since Meiji period. Probably it did a very good work for the world by producing a lot of silk strings with good quality. The buildings are preserved very well.

The new facility \Nishi Mayu Storage\ has opened its grand opening at the Tomioka Silk Mill, which is registered as a World Heritage Site. The tour requires reservations in advance, but I was lucky enough to see it.
Beautiful historical location. Friiendly and easy to deal with. Also has manhole card with a pin! The area itself is nice. Also authentic nepalsse food in the area. Nearby attractions also available. Trains are fairly regular if not expensive.
It's a unique place where one of Japan's modern industries was born in the Meiji era. The new government after the Restoration of Meiji, invited French engineers from #Cevennes in France where the silk industry had developed to modernize the Japanese #silk manufacture which at the time was still produced in a very artisan way. After the French engineers had travelled around some Japanese regions, they found here in Tomioka an ideal place to build a modern factory for the manufacture of silk because its environment was similar to that of Cevennes. It was recently chosen by #UNESCO as a #WorldHeritageSite
Very interesting place to visit. Free app on several languages for guide tour.
