What's going on in the bathroom in the coal mine? Miike Coal Mine Manda Pit has a "safety light room and bathroom" There are, which will be newly opened to the public from FY2024. This bathroom is a facility that was used from around 1951 (Showa 26), 74 years ago, when coal mining at Manda Pit was discontinued, to 1997 (Heisei 9)). Since it is a bathroom for a small number of miners engaged in maintenance in the underground mine, it is different from the large bathroom in the peak season of the Manda Pit. Although the scale is different, the purpose is the same: to remove dirt from underground operations. The pitch-black charcoal attached to the work is difficult to wash off, so in addition to the washing area, The bathtub was divided into the "No. 1 hot water" and the "uphill hot spring (kakeke-yu)" that you can enter after cleaning the dirt. (Manda Pit peak season, about 3,500 miners Use about 3,500 miners, and the Manda Pit guide There are a detailed guide, so please Use the guide. ) The Miike Coal Mine has a lot of underground Water, and it and necessary to constantly drain Water. I think that if there is so much Water, it would be good for the Water to put it in the bathtub, but the Water to be Use in the bath was Water Water. The reason was that the water pumped from underground was mixed with fine pieces of coal and there was a risk of injury, so it was not used at the Manda Pit. Until 1953 (1957 (Showa 32)), Gunkanjima carried Water from outside the island by supply ships until the opening of the undersea Water road. At that time, sea water was boiled, and fresh water was used for the last "uphill water". In the drama "Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea" broadcast in 2024, we and a scene where a miner who has finished working in an underground mine Use the bathroom, so please pay attention to it.
