Onga River Pumping Station, a world heritage in Nakama, Fukuoka
After visiting the Imperial Yahata Steel Works, we went to the Onga River Pumping Station in Nakama. Like the above-mentioned Yahata steel, this is one of newly added world heritage site in Japan, designated as Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining.

When I took a picture from a viewing platform, a kindly old man told us about history of the pump room. He's a great guide, he explained us in more detail. He gave us a piece of paper, too.
