Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape (UNESCO/TBS)
The Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine in the south-west of Honshu Island is a cluster of mountains, rising to 600 m and interspersed by deep river valleys featuring the archaeological remains of large-scale mines, smelting and refining sites and mining settlements worked between the 16th and 20th centuries.

Iwami Ginzan Mining Settlement Oda, Japan
Iwami-Ginzan Silver Mine, Oda, The mine itself was built in 1526 and was the most important mining site in Japan for almost 500 years, Iwami Ginzan Kamano-Ya.
This peaceful community was set up to house the miners in the latter early 1900.
The architecture is still being protected and preserved for educational and touristic purpose.
Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine - Shimane - 石見銀山
Located deep in a mountainous district of Shimane in the village of Omori, you will find Iwami Ginzan, a historic silver mine now turned museum/attraction that was designated as a World Heritage Site in July 2007. Small in size compared to today’s standard, it is said that the Iwami Ginzan silver mine, was among the top ten producing silver mines in the world. It produced around 38 tons of silver per year, or ⅓ of the world’s production when the mine was still in activity! Its unique and exceptionally high quality silver, known as “Soma Silver”, was the reason for many sources of friction between local clans interested in taking control of all Iwami Ginzan mines since its acquisition in the early 1600s by the Tokugawa Shogunate.
While today the mines are closed, it is still possible for the public to visit part a small section of the network of the 600 shafts that once made Iwami Ginzan, via a 273m long tunnel known as the Ryugenji Mabu Mine Shaft.

Silver Mine of Japan Iwami Ginzan
Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine World Heritage site.
Recognised for its geological landscape.
Oda is a city, at this time, one third of the world's silver came out of Japan, and Iwami Ginzan produced much of that silver.

This Old house is not a museum of art and fashion. They have given all the consideration to preserve and protect the heritage that gave the village the importance to the World Heritage status.
I was so connected to the real people and real honest articles of craftsmanship.

Iwami-Ginzan Silver Mine.
Starting with its discovery in 1526, the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine was one of the world’s most prominent silver mines for 400 years. During the Age of Exploration it was known only as “The Silver Mine” to Europeans and at its peak was responsible for one-third of the world’s silver production. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, the first such mine to be registered in Asia. The site also includes the surrounding transportation routes, ports, mining towns and hot springs. The great significance of the ancient remains of Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine lies in the fact that abundant traces of silver production from the mining sites to transportation routes have survived almost intact to this day.

UNESCO World Heritage Site:Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine,Shimane世界遺産 石見銀山
島根県のユネスコ(UNESCO)世界遺産、石見銀山に行ってきました。
銀の発掘跡地ということですから、佐渡や土肥などのようなのかと思ってました。
でもここは、世界遺産としての保存は、ほとんど手を加えないという方向で行うというように感じました。
当時の発掘の様子を表した人形や、おみやげ売り場が派手な資料館もなく、龍源寺間歩の坑道へは遠くの駐車場からバスと山道を2キロも歩かないとたどりつけません。
世界遺産というステータスを観光客を呼ぶための道具に使うことなく、静かに後世に伝えたいという姿勢でしょうか、知らないけど。
I went to Shimane Prefecture UNESCO World Heritage, the Iwami silver mine.
It is the site of excavation of silver.
The policy of hardly adding a hand as world heritage was felt.

Japan Trip : Yunotsu, hot spring in World Heritage Site Ōda, Shimane, Japan

Yunotsu, of the coast of the Sea of Japan, used to be known as a port town. Until the beginning of the 17th century, it played an important role in shipping silver which was mined at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ‘Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine’. In 2007, Yunotsu was designated as a part of the “World Heritage Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape”. Ryokans, Japanese style inns, and shops line the streets and visitors can soak up the the tranquil atmosphere of a town with such a long history.
The nearby ports of Okidomari and Tomogaura were used to ship away the silver from the Iwami Ginzan Mines. The ports feature Hanaguri-Iwa, special rocks that were used to moor boats to. These can be seen at Okidomari by taking a five minute hike around the bay. The narrow nature trail to the rocks starts at a little bridge that crosses the small creek on the right side of the dock.
The former roads, used to transport the silver from the the mining area to the ports, are now hiking trails. The trail to Okidomari and Yunotsu is 12 kilometers long and passes nearby two castle ruins, while the trail to Tomogaura is 7 kilometers long. There is a possibility of doing a loop hike as Yunotsu and Tomogaura (near Maji Station) are connected by the JR Sanin train line.
Yunotsu is a station along the JR Sanin Line, one hour by limited express train (approx. 3000 yen) or two hour by local train (1490 yen) from Matsue. The town center is a 10-15 minute walk or short bus ride (140 yen) from Yunotsu Station. Okidomari is another 15 minute walk northwest of the town center.
If coming from Omori Town, take a bus to Nima or Oda-shi Station and transfer to the JR Sanin Line to Yunotsu. With a good connection, the journey takes about 45 minutes via Nima Station or about one hour via Oda-shi Station, but note that the train and bus service in the region is rather infrequent.

Japan Trip: Omori Town: enjoy the Japanese old cultural atmosphere Ōda, Shimane01 Moopon
Omori Town is a one and a half kilometer long stretch of houses, shops, temples, and shrines that runs along the river valley to the north of the mines. It used to house magistrates, merchants, and craftsmen who benefited from the nearby mines.
It also has a world cultural heritage site; the Iwami Ginzan.
Today there are many historical sites interspersed among the homes of the town's current residents. Among them are the Former Government Office which has been restored as the Iwami Ginzan Museum, and numerous historical residences.
The largest and most spectacular of these is the Kumagai Family Residence near the Tourist Center in the north of town. Once the home of the leading merchant and town official, it has been restored to be an excellent example of a period household.
Some of the shrines and temples in the area are particularly interesting. Kigami Shrine at the north end of town has a dragon painting on its ceiling that echoes like the roar of the dragon when you clap your hands under it. Shogenji Temple looks fairly ordinary from the outside but inside houses a beautifully painted main hall and altar, and also has a small museum.
Gohyakurakan are 500 stone statues of Buddha's disciples housed in a series of man-made caves. Their postures and facial expressions run the entire gamut of emotions and are very interesting to see.
The central bus stop, Omori Daikansho (Omori Former Government Office), is served by all buses, providing connections along Omori Town and to the parking lot at the Sekaiisan Center (every 15 minutes), to Oda-shi Station (1-2 buses per hour), Nima Station (about 5 buses per day) and Hiroshima (2 buses per day).
Omori Town can also be reached on foot from the parking lot: It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk to the town's southern end around the Gohyakurakan via a nature trail shortcut and an additional 15-20 minutes (without stops) to reach the town's northern end around the Former Government Office.

Japan Railpass Adventure: Shimane & Nima
Here we visit Shimane-ken. Specifically the Nima Sand Museum, and the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine surrounding area. Its a trick to get out to this place from Okayama at a decent time as the train schedule and sheer distance doesn't make for the best itinerary.
