Shimizusawa Seiei Cho Type:Unframed shows faded shopfronts and weatheredFaded signage marks a quiet stretch of road in Shimizusawa Seiei cho, the former mine managers' residential district of Yubari. Derelict buildings line both sides of the street, their corrugated steel cladding and buckled facades reflecting decades of Hokkaido winters and a coal industry that closed its last mine in 1990.
