Komatsu no Mori — Attraction in Komatsu

少し遠目から見学させてもらいました。物凄く大きくて、壮大でした。素晴らしい！！ 「こまつの杜」は、コマツ創立90周年を記念し、2011年5月13日に誕生しました。里山での自然観察教室や理科・ものづくり教室などを通して、地域の子どもの健全な育成と自然環境の保全を目的に、わくわくコマツ館とコマツのOBボランティアで組織するNPO法人みどりのこまつスクスク会が共同で運営しています。 その後、コマツ創立100周年の2021年には「わくわくコマツ館」を「歴史館」に大幅改装し、さらに、これまであった ダンプトラック930Eの隣に積込機となる超大型油圧ショベルPC4000を並べて世界の大規模鉱山の雰囲気を再現させる大幅なリニューアルをしました。 コマツ（（株）小松製作所）は1921年5月、高知県宿毛市出身の竹内明太郎によって、竹内鉱業（株）が経営する遊泉寺 銅山の機械修理部門であった「小松鉄工所」が分離独立して、小松市八日市町地方（現こまつの杜）に設立されました。 その後、本社は東京に移転しましたが、この地は小松工場として産業機械の生産工場として稼働してきました。 100年経った今日でも創業の地を大切に想う会社と地元のOB・OGたちの強い思い入れによってこのこまつの社は成り立っています。 「こまつの杜」では、コマツのOBによって、子どもたちが理科や自然を学ぶ教室の運営や、地域の憩いの場となっている里山の維持管理、超大型鉱山機械の運転席搭乗や、イベント時のお客様サポートなど元気にボランティア活動をしています。 Komatsu no Mori was opened on May 13, 2011, as one of Komatsu's 90th anniversary projects and is jointly operated by the NPO, Midori-no-Komatsu Sukusuku-Kai, organized by Komatsu retiree volunteers. We provide nature observation classes on Satoyama woodland and science/manufacturing classes to foster the healthy development of children and preserve the environment. In 2021, Komatsu's 100th anniversary year, the Wakuwaku Komatsu Kan was extensively renovated into the History Museum, and next to the 930E dump truck, a super-large hydraulic excavator PC4000 was placed, which should be used as a loading machine, to recreate the atmosphere of a large-scale mine in the world. Komatsu [Komatsu Ltd.] was established in May 1921 in the Yokaichi-machi district in Komatsu City [now Komatsunomori] by Meitaro Takeuchi, who was born in Sukumo City. Kochi Prefecture. It was a spin-off from Komatsu Iron Works, the machinery repair division of the Yusenji Copper Mine owned by Takeuchi Mining Industry. Although the head office was later relocated to Tokyo, the Komatsu Plant had continued to operate here as a production facility for industrial machinery. Even today, 100 years later from the company's establishment, Komatsu no Mori is still built on the strong commitment of Komatsu and local alumni who retired from the company and still cherish the place where it was founded. At Komatsu no Mori, Komatsu retirees are energetically volunteering to organize science and nature classes for children, maintain the Satoyama woodland, which has become a recreational and relaxing area for the community, guide the visitors to ride in the driver's seats of the super-large mining machines, and support guests...

This is Komatsu exhibition center. Komatsu is the world’s 2nd largest heavy equipments manufacturer (as far as I know Caterpillar is the number one). You can see the Komatsu‘s and probably the world’s largest electric dump truck and the excavator. You can sit in the driver's seat if we you visit on Saturday. Otherwise there is a small excavator for kids to operate, and etc etc.

It’s pity they don’t run this fantastic exhibition center on Sundays. Car parking lot available. Completely...

Địa điểm tham quan miễn phí, nằm ngay cạnh cửa ra của ga JR Komatsu, nổi bật nhất chính là hai cỗ máy khai thác mỏ lớn nhất Nhật Bản: Komatsu PC4000 và Komatsu 930E-2. Mình cực kỳ đam mê máy móc nên đã quyết tâm đi đến thành phố này. Có lẽ đây là địa điểm đáng giá nhất của cả chuyến đi. Rất vui và bất ngờ trước kích thước khổng lồ của chúng. Có khung giờ cụ thể để bạn có thể chiêm ngưỡng chiếc máy xúc nâng tay cần và chiếc xe tải nâng thùng ben. Ngoài ra có lối cầu thang nối lên cabin, nơi có thể nhìn bao quát khu tham quan, với chiều cao tương đương 2 tầng nhà. Nhân viên ở đây rất nhiệt tình hướng dẫn và thuyết minh cho du khách (chỉ tiếng Nhật), bạn có thể trải nghiệm cảm giác ngồi trong cabin, thực sự ấn tượng. Xung quanh là khu lịch sử hãng, khu trưng bày vật phẩm và khu trải nghiệm vận...
