炭焼き窯跡 Charcoal kiln ruins

Charcoal Kiln Remains

Forestry was the main industry in Mitake / Shosenkyo up until the late 1950s. One major source of income for residents was charcoal-making.

Charcoal kilns were temporary and simple structures of stacked rocks topped with sheet iron, built on slopes near their ingredients for convenience. Once nearby smaller trees like pin and sawtooth oak or Japanese beech and maple were used up, another kiln would be built elsewhere, so this area is dotted with the remains of such kilns.

烧炭窑遗址

直至昭和30年代（1955-1964）,林业一直是御岳升仙峡的主要产业。其中,木炭生产是最大的收入来源。
  烧炭窑通常建在易于收集木材的山坡上,一般用石头堆积而成,上面盖着铁皮等材质的顶子,结构简单,但不耐用。烧制材料采用枹栎、麻栎、山毛榉、枫树等杂木,材料用完后,就换到其他地方重建烧窑,继续生产,因而许多地方都可以看到木炭窑的遗迹。
