べんがら工場 / Bengala Factory

Visited: November 2015
Location: 岡山県 / Okayama, Japan

This place was, like the name said, a factory for Bengala in Dutch, Red Iron Oxide in English. If you crawl down a fence to get into the main buildings, you cannot avoid being red from the paint... OR there was a gap you can sneak into, but unfortunately I found it when I was leaving so I got red all over me.

べんがらとは赤い塗料のことで、この工場はその塗料を作っていたようです。メイン工場にはフェンスがあり、這って入ると服が塗料で真っ赤になります。フェンスを這わなくても通れるスキマも見つけたのですが、帰り際で時すでに遅し。
