The Anzhong Smelting Institute of Tohoya Lead Co., Ltd., located in Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan, is just an ordinary factory during the day, but at night it looks different. Recently, it has been the charm of the urban "Midgar" in the popular game "Final Fantasy VII" in the nighttime, and the working factory resembles the magic furnace in the game.

This "Gunma Midga" has long been well known among factory enthusiasts, and according to a May 2021 Nikkei shimbun report, there will not be much growth in demand for sub-lead, and the plant will improve the production system and shut down the roaster. Therefore, in March, many factory enthusiasts went to the location to shoot in order to see the night scene again at the end, but in fact, after April, many netizens still posted photos of the night scene on social networking sites. The head of the plant said that the smelter has a roaster and two electrolysis equipment, and that one furnace and one electrolysis equipment were closed in March, and only one electrolytic equipment is still in operation. Although the lighting around the equipment will be turned off, it will not have much impact on the overall night view of the factory.
After the epidemic and the opening of the tour, if you are interested, you can also go to this Gunma Midga to enjoy the night view.
