The most beautiful building in my hometown is "Shimoren". It was a factory of brick.
It is in Nogi-town, in edge of Tochigi Pref.
It was designed by the "Shimotsuke Brickyard" company and built in 1889; it made bricks for 82years.
There are 16 kilns in a circle (actually, in a 16 polygon), 100m around. It has 31m chimney. Unfortunately, now there is no owner of this factory, its outside is bad.
Inside of this factory, it is dangerous! Roof of it is going to fall down; because there is no owner, administration can't aid fixing this building.
You can't see the view from this building, it's dangerous. If you can see the view from this building's chimney, you'll see only grassland, I think.
You can't go in the building, I think.
You can get more information about this building here.
English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!
