I took the rugged southern route to Teraogo, an abandoned village in Akiota Town.

18:40 ~ Before the steep road
27:00~ "Teraogo" entrance

During my first visit in November 2020, I tried to go by car along the southern route, but the road became unpaved and overgrown with steep grass, so I gave up. The name of this forest road is "Mitani Shiomei Line".

On my second visit, in April 2022, I visited from the western route and found that the road had been cleared of weeds, so I decided to try again this time, thinking it might be possible to go by car via the southern route.

The grass around the end of Teraogo is mowed by former residents who come regularly to take care of it. In addition, it seems that the resident of the unique house in front of you passed away last year. I tried to close the gate on my way home, but it wouldn't budge because it was buried in the ground.

I was surprised to find that the door of the former meeting hall, which is used as the silver mine's reference room, was open. The materials on display are rapidly deteriorating, so if you are the last person to go inside, please be sure to lock the door.
