Metamorphosed, low-grade manganese ore. Abandoned around 1960.

All lower elevation adits disappeared by renewal construction of prefectural road. Traces of dumps remain.

In Japanese literature, a deposit which contains an assemblage of manganese minerals just like the Yamato mine is called "Yamato-type deposit". Characteristics of Yamato-type deposits are: the mineralisations consists mainly of braunite and rhodonite, the host rock is deep red.
Manganese-carbonates from the Yamato mine are not from the Yamato-type orebody but from the Manako-type orebody adjacent to the Yamato-type or Kaso-type orebody.

WARNING: Dumps are infested with the very poisonous "Habu" snake! (Habu or Hon-habu; Protobothrops flavoviridis, most poisonous snake in Japan.)
