Three tall windows line the control room wall, their steel-mullioned frames set into heavy concrete pillars. Several panes are cracked or missing. Diffused light falls across the bare floor, picking out scattered timber offcuts and grit. Through the glass, forested hills and the structures of Shimizusawa Dam sit in the middle distance. A thin band of green moss creeps along the base of each column. Shimizusawa Thermal Power Plant operated from 1926 in Yūbari, Hokkaido, burning coal from nearby mines to generate electricity for the region's collieries. The plant closed in 1992 as Yūbari's coal industry collapsed. The adjacent hydroelectric station at Shimizusawa Dam continues to function.
