Kurogane Railway

 

Dedicated Railway for Yawata Steel Works 

The railway connected between Yawata and Tobata, construction work took three years, and

completed in 1930. The most difficult and hard work was making Miyatayama tunnel with a total 

length of 1180 m due to suffering from floods. The gates of the Miyatayama tunnel are decorated

with stately designs.
