About Tomioka Silk Mill

• Tomioka Silk Mill was a government-run model silk factory established by the Meiji government to modernize Japan.
• In 2014, the Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Silk Industry Heritage Sites were registered as a World Heritage Site.
• The three buildings that are designated as national treasures are the silk reeling factory, the east cocoon factory, and the west cocoon factory.

In particular, the West Cocoon Warehouse has a glass room that utilizes steel frames for earthquake reinforcement, allowing you to experience the National Treasure building through the glass.

Among the exhibits are some that give a glimpse into the lives of the "factory girls" of the time, and you can enjoy touring the entire silk mill while imagining what life was like back then.

• The building contains a document exhibition room and a multipurpose hall, where lectures and concerts are sometimes held.
• *During the event period, you may not be able to enter the multipurpose hall depending on the content.
