Coal Preparation House

The coal preparation house was used to sort coal and waste. The area is a self-feeding inclined structure and the coal carriages pulled up through the No. 1 Shaft to the ground automatically ran to the coal sorting house. Sorted coal was loaded onto the coal wagons of the Miike Coal Mine special railway to be shipped within Japan or overseas through what is currently the JR Arao Station and the Miike Port.
