Imperial couple visits Ashio mine

05/23/2014 · in CULTURE, SOCIETY

Japan’s Imperial couple today visited a mine that was once one of Japan’s most toxic sites.

The Ashio Copper Mine heavily polluted the area, leading to riots and ultimately Japan’s first industrial pollution laws.

The Emperor and Empress rode a narrow gauge train once used to haul copper ore.

They also viewed a reforestation project on land once so polluted that nothing would grow.
