The Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution are a testament to the country's rapid industrialization during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These sites, recognized by UNESCO, include various locations where significant advancements in iron and steel production, shipbuilding, and coal mining occurred. In Nagasaki Prefecture, notable sites such as the Hashima Coal Mine and Glover Garden highlight the fusion of Western technology and Japanese culture during this transformative period. This heritage reflects not only technological progress but also the complex social changes that accompanied Japan's emergence as a modern industrial nation.
