Lots more photos coming. Jason- True- more like a real, deserted haikyo. Carts, no, ha, Lee- Thanks- lots more coming, takes forever to edit down from some 600 photos to a decent 50 or so. japaneseeye- Treasure trove- share? I found a few minor ones towards Yamanashi (yet to post- can share if you're interested), but haven't really ventured across the prefectural line yet. Ashio- the pay part is just into a mine shaft a hundred meters or so. We didn't have time for that- the stuff we looked at was all free- though involves climbing several fences. There must be far more than we even saw too. Can- Yeah, this was the weekend I asked you guys whether you wanted to rent a car and do a big haikyo the following weekend. Lots more photos coming.

Any mining carts you could push around on those tracks? This place looks like a real haikyo, along the lines of the Gunma mining town and the sports world in Shizuoka.
