The chimney of the boiler non-smoking facility, 31.2 m high, 2.9 m in diameter at the top, and 4.3 m in diameter at the base, was registered as a national tangible cultural property (building) in 1998, and is now carefully preserved in the Miyaura Mine, which has been developed as a park. The park also exhibits a man-drawn cart and platform that were actually used to go to the bottom of the earth and back, as well as coal mining machinery. (*It is said that "Tankobushi" originated in Tagawa. The chimneys also refer to the two chimneys in Tagawa, and it is said that the "Mitsui Coal Mine" part was sung in Omuta as "Miike Coal Mine"). The Mitsui Miike Coal Mine Railway, which ran near the site of the Miyaura Coal Mine, was discontinued in May 2020.
