Botayama (Slag Heaps)

ボタ山／旧住友忠隈炭鉱

“Bota” is a word that was used in coal mining districts throughout Kyushu and refers to the rocks or low-quality coal leftover after the coal cleaning process. These leftovers were piled up over nearly half a century to create Botayama, one of the largest existing pyramid-shaped slag heaps in Japan. Its beautiful shape has earned it the nickname “Chikuho’s Mt.Fuji”!

About the Slag Heap: Area - 22.4 hectares (about 55.4 acres); Height - 121 meters (about 397 feet)
