Japanese Heritage "TANTETSUKO" spots!
Experience the Industrial Revolution of Hokkaido! Four recommended photogenic spots of the Japanese Heritage "Tantetsuko." These are spots related to "Tantetsuko," where the "Tantetsuko Meal" served for breakfast and lunch at SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL BAR & GRILL Splish originates from.
Since the Meiji era, the rapid modernization of Japan was supported by Hokkaido's coal, steel, ports, and the railway network that connected them. The history that unfolded with Sorachi's "coal mines," Muroran's "steel industry," Otaru's "ports," and the "railways" that connected them, is the story of the northern industrial revolution known as "Tantetsuko."

The view includes the factories of the Muroran Works of Nippon Steel Corporation, which symbolizes "Muroran, the City of Steel," and the town of Wanzai-cho with its rows of houses and stores in front of the factories.
Near the steelworks, there are still shopping streets and facilities that retain the vestiges of its heyday. We encourage you to take a walk around the town.
