Long time ago,Gunma 's silk was the most extravagant in the world.
There are four places that make silk abroad, let me introduce

these places to you all:

First,「Tajima Yahei Sericulture Farm」Constructed in 1863.
The house’s main feature is it's roof.
It is quite unique.
They made elevation on the roof and installed windows.

This installation was to create good ventilation so they could feed

silkworms that will be stronger than others.
"cool iku" is from Mr.Tajima Yahei, he controlled the

temperature and the humidity to create a successful way of keeping

silkworms and silkworm eggs.

The Admission is free

From 9:00am to 4:00pm

It's opened between the main house 1st floor upper row.

Second,「Takayama-sha Ruins」Built in 1883.
The site of Takayama-sha is the birthplace of Mr.Chogoro Takayama.
Takayama-sha is the place where he researched the sericulture method "Seioniku" and provided guidance to employees.

It functions like a school that teaches Japanese and Korean people.

it to function as a kind of refrigerator to keep a vast amount of

silkworm eggs.

Last,「Tomioka Silk Mill」Made in 1872, closed in 1987.

Tomioka Silk Mill has been running for 115 years! 
As you can see , the material is that of Western Countries and Japan .
Tomioka Silk Mill’s goal was to integrate all of them

so Gunma’s Silk could be exported all over the world.

They also filmed one movie inspired and related to

Tomioka Silk Mill’s history.
The title of the movie is「Akai tasuki」(赤い襷)
It would be a great way to learn about the history of this Mill.
