It may not easy to believe that nearly one thousand people had been working in Motokura Mine in Utanobori Area of Kitami Esashi Town located in the northe part of Hokkaido Island.
It was at the foot of Mt.Hako-dake and had produced lead, copper and zinc.
The local Motokura Mining Company was established in cooperation with Mitsui Mining Company and developed but it ran out of the resources andwas closed in 1967.
