I visited the Okutama Hikawa Plant Industry with my dogs, it was part of our walk 😀 This place it is a huge lime plant located along a river in Okutama area, in Tokyo, and it isn’t abandoned, but is famous for the stylish structure. Walking around, you can listen the resounding sound of the running factory. In this area you can enjoy a nice view of the the river and the surrounding mountains, so it is well known among the photographers.
犬の散歩がてら、奥多摩工業氷川事業所に行ってきました。奥多摩工業は廃墟ではなく、東京都の奥多摩地区にある石灰の採掘工場です。とくに氷川事業所という場所は、川沿いに巨大な工場が鎮座するかっこいい姿が有名。ガッコン、ガッコンと稼働する音が辺りに響きわたっています。
The figure of this plant during the day time, appear totally white thanks to the limestone dust. This is the reason why is also know as “White Plant”.
昼間の工場の姿は、石灰石の粉塵のおかげで全体が白くなってみえます。”白い工場”と呼ばれている理由に納得
n the evening, the atmosphere change completely with all the factory’s shining lights, so I waited while eating rice balls with my dogs. The plant, in the darkness of the night, had a totally different strength from daytime. Even at night, the sound of the machine resounding all around…
犬と一緒におむすびを食べながら、夜になるのを待つ。夜の工場はキラキラ光る素敵な光景に様変わり!真っ暗な中に佇む工場は、昼とはまた別の迫力がありました。夜になっても稼働音が鳴り響いていました…ガッコン、ガッコン….
