Thank you for your photos, @Ivi_Ge
Visiting a mine is indeed a special experience It is a strange feeling to enter in the deep part of the earth. What do they extract in there?

You are right @ErmesT. This is an unique experience.
I think that the Japanese miners dug through the earth originally looking for gold. This mine is located in the forests of Akita prefecture. The mine is a constant chill, so if you plan to go there make sure to bring your jacket—even on a summer day. After a 30 or 40 minute walking course, you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
And then you enter the gift shop. The store displays and sells gorgeous gems and precious stones that are from the area.

Thank you @Ivi_Ge
Fun fact: In the main square of Wieliczka we had a very strange surprise: a reconstruction, made of wheat, of St. Mary's Basilica, the main church of Kraków.
The reconstruction was made by the inhabitants of Campocavallo di Osimo, a small Italian village not so far from the area of the earthquake

Thank you for sharing this fun fact @ErmesT.
The reconstruction of the church looks great and very strange because of the wheat. This is amazing what people can do!

How not to agree @Ivi_Ge
For me it was a very special moments, to find a joint between Le Marche (Italy, earthquake area) and Krakow, the city of the meet-up, because I am frequently visiting Central Italy for our activity related to the earthquake

This salt mine shows much more desire and capability to show the local history than the one in Soledar, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. To be honest, ours needs tons of improvements and changes in the infrastructure, services, and exhibition design. The length of the "history" can't be considered a crucial factor for that. The mine in Krakow looks like a decent example of a successful touristic approach. Thanks for a good opportunity to compare, @ErmesT
