Educational tour History

The Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace in Shizuoka prefecture, built in 1857, played a major role in Japan’s industrialization during the late 1800s. It was awarded World Heritage Status in 2015, as a part of the Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution collection. The Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace was a metal smelting site, and the metals were then used to create cannons and other items.
