Omuta's Coal Mine Heritage Hidden in Ancient Strata

Mysterious Strata Hidden in the Depths of Mt. Amagi

The "Ginzui Layer" that reflects the history of Omuta is a stratum deposited in an ancient freshwater lake. The distinctive landscape is characterized by purple-red shale. Due to its connection to the Miike coal mine, it holds high value as industrial heritage.

The Beauty of Interwoven Coal Black and Coral Reef Red in the Stratum

The cross-section of the Ginzui Layer reveals the complex intertwining of black coal layers and red shale layers. You can admire the beautiful stratum pattern up close, resembling an abstract painting. It is a rare landscape that allows you to feel the dynamic activities of nature.

Access and Highlights Guide

The Ginzui Layer is located in Omuta City, Amagi, and is close to Mt. Yakiishi Park and Amagi Park. We recommend stopping by while strolling through the parks. This place, which was once a trace of coal mining, is now a treasure trove of industrial heritage, making it the perfect place to reflect on the history of Omuta.

On May 14, 2023, I visited the signboard for the silver water layer, which was a 2-minute walk from "Omuta Palace" where I stayed in Amagi Amagiyama, Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture. When I looked into it, I found out that although the following information is unknown, it is a valuable document about the Miike Coal Mine. The silver aqueous layer is a stratum that was deposited in both terrestrial and freshwater environments with a purple-red shale layer intervening, and is thought to be a shallow water sedimentary layer.The boundary with the Yoneyama Fault is a dark gray to black-gray layer. It is said to carry a rock. Coal seams, which are essential to the history of Omuta, are partially exposed from the fault plane.

It will only be of interest to those who are interested in geological formations. What's the point in me without learning? Why here? That's what it feels like. There is only a signboard with information, but it is almost impossible to read and it is difficult to read the contents. It is a place to visit Yaishiyama Park and Amagi Park and look for exposed coal seams, and go there as a side trip; it is not a tourist destination.
