🇯🇵 [Ehime Prefecture] Follow the footsteps of a Meiji era business leader at the Hirose Saihei Memorial Museum! (^^) During the turbulent times of the late Edo and Meiji eras, Hirose Saihei protected the Besshi Copper Mine from government seizure and sale due to financial difficulties by Sumitomo, and promoted its modernization (^^) He also devoted himself to fostering our country's industry and contributed to the development of the nation! Through Saihei's footsteps, we trace the origins of Niihama and the history of modern Japanese industry. The memorial museum has many exhibits that trace Saihei's achievements through documents and videos from that time! (^^) #0 yen trip January 2025
