One of the largest lead and zinc mines in Japan; closed in 1987. Also produced silver and cadmium. Although ore extraction has now stopped, it has become a mining-related amusement park. Mitsubishi still operates a smelter here.
Epithermal veins; largest was 7 m wide, worked over a strike of 2 km, to a depth of 250 m. (1958 production: 11 tons Ag; ref.: Mining Annual Review (1985): 407).
