Top 29 things to do and attractions in Oda

Interesting to go into the old silver mine. Recommend wearing the hard hat provided unless you are very short as the ceiling is low in many places and we bumped our heads a few times. There were some pictures of what the mining working conditions were like for the workers. Would have been a hard life.

This is a UNESCO World Heritage silver mine. Walking around Iwami Ginzan, I felt the harsh conditions under which people worked to earn money in those days. A guide accompanied us, providing detailed and easy-to-understand explanations, making the experience both enjoyable and informative.

The Iwami Ginzan historic site is impressive for its preserved old structures and landscape. It's clear that a considerable budget has been invested in maintaining the authenticity of this heritage site.

This was a fun experience. If you come here expecting to go deep under ground in a deep, vast tunnel you will be let down. The tunnel is nice to walk through but it's not the most thrilling thing in the world so its best to keep your expectations low. What really made this experience special was hiring a bicycle and riding through the beautiful traditional buildings in the town which leads up to the mine.

Iwami Ginza Mines is a great experience. Very peaceful and relaxing. There is only two ways to reach the mine walk or hire a bicycle some of which are electric. Its a 2.5 km easy walk with things to see along the way (temples, shrines and beautiful scenery and toilets). The mine cost is 500 yen and foreigners get a discount. A must see.

I really enjoy when visiting Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. This place, become UNESCO heritage site because here you will find the trace of the glory silver mine 400 years ago. Roads, tunnels, Samurai's house, and artifacts as remnants of silver mine still exists until now. This place is conserved well until now. Had trade with Europe, prove this silver mine activity affected Japan's economy at that time. Tour into the tunnel will give you the idea how the labors work to get the silver. It really hard to work under having water problems, and the shortage of light and fresh air in the past. Please visit Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, you will not regret!!

This is a great place to take a walk and it is a important place during Japanese history. It provide funds during 15~16 century. The Major issue is lack of English resource. It is hard for Foreign visitors to understand the picture by using audio guide. As a UNESCO site, I think it is reasonable to training small number of English guide.

For a first time visitor by car, this is the safer and easier place to park your car. You will have to take a public bus from this center to the gateway to the Iwami-Ginzan area, which is basically one narrow street stretching from lower part of the creek to the upper part of the creek. The bus ride would cost yen 240 (US$2 or less), while the car park was free and abundant at this center. It turned out that getting a rental bicycle (electric powered one at yen 700 for two hours) at a former gas station near the lower bus stop would be ideal lakes you enjoy uphill walk without shades for 2 km or so.

This museum is not a typical tourist attraction or scenic landmark, but a serious place dedicated to learning about the history of the region. Its exhibits are carefully curated to provide educational value rather than entertainment, making it ideal for visitors with a genuine interest in the area's historical development. A worthwhile stop for those seeking depth and context in their travels.

Nice historical place with the beautiful nature of the mountain

If you want to park for free and take the bus to the village it’s a good way to get there. But walking alone is probably out of the option considering the ‘caution bears’ sign

Great center that introduces to the whole history of the mining region in quite an interactive way! Almost all the information is accompanied with English translation which is very nice. It is only 20 min walk from the center of the charming Omori village. So, if anyone is interested, I had a perfect day taking a 10:15am bus from Hiroshima directly to this center, learned about mining, walked to Omori and browsed it around a bit (it is gorgeous!), and from there took a 15 min ride (google maps knows it all) on a very cute small electric bus to the Ryugenji mine shaft (open to public without guides). And finally hiked from there for three hours through majestic forest to one of the most authentic hot springs in the country in Yunotsu. Memorable day full of history, nature, hiking, and relaxation!

A must stop for any history, geology or geography enthusiast. Wonderful presentation, amazing staff, just awesome.

This center highlights the contributions of Japan to earth in terms of Silver. Not many may know that Japan was mining 90% of the world's supply of silver 300 years ago... recommend a visit. The trails are good too for the hiking enthusiasts.

The parking lot is difficult to find and is not close to the building. The museum itself was small and didn’t have much to see, so I think the cost was not worth it. They also gave us a postcard to decorate with colored sand. I think was the best part. They also do crafts on select days that you can pay to do. You can also get the manhole card to collect at the Road Station close by!

It was a very unique and rewarding experience. The place has the largest hourglass in the world or, shall I say, year glass, as it is flipped once a year only. There some very aesthetic art installations as well. I deducted one star as: - the place could be refreshed - the place could be expanded - more descriptions in English would help international visitors

This is a great, spacious building that is devoted to sand and artistic, beautifully crafted hour glasses. It also holds the world's largest hour glass that last for one year! I really enjoyed this small museum. There's also a nice park near by. The town is small but worth stoping by if it's on your route. It's a little less than an our from izumoshi station using local train. Cost is ¥700. Walkable from Nima station. Wall across to the intersection with the Lawson and turn right. You'll see the glass pyramids. 10- 15 minute walk.

Worth spending an hour if you are in the area. A small but interesting museum about hourglass which has the biggest hourglass in the world. Foreigners get a 50% discount if they show a valid passport/residence card. No English language descriptions though which can be a bore if you cannot read Japanese. There are many kinds of hourglasses on display including some stylish pieces (there is a blue hourglass to test the intensity of your love, of course both the partners need to hold it together) There is a sand art corner also for the artist in you. This was not my main destination in this area but I am glad I dropped by. I bought a nice hourglass (3 minutes time) and had a good Ice cream in the Summer heat .

We visited this museum with lab mates when we went for a lab tour. It's worth to send half a day here. There are many activities which keeps us engaged all the time. They have microscopes too look at the sand grains which is really amazing. Also they have kind of designs which is simply cool. The specialty of this museum is this has a one year sand clock. Along with they have many small clocks which has many durations. At the end they have a different color sands where we can make some design,sketch and coloring.

The museum as such is not particularly interesting. Locals say that it doesn't make much sense. It just exists because one person at the city hall across the street thought it to be great. But, on the other hand, it is used for local events, like live concerts. And for things like this, I think this is a great place. Of course there are buildings for gatherings already right across the street. In case you wonder: no there is no cultural or historical reason for this museum. Which makes me wonder why it's called museum. There is a 'famous' beach nearby - Kotogahama. Maybe this is the inspiration for this building. The last time I bought the soft ice they offer, it was ice but not soft ice what I received.

Foreigers get a discount. The museum has the worlds largest hourglass in the world which measures the length of a year. Has some interesting art too. It also has a corner where you can make your own candle, necklace and other stuff

A beautiful mountain to go hiking. The whole way up you traverse through beautiful thick forest. There a loads of wild flowers and different species of trees to admire. There are steps almost all the way up, and plenty of places to have a rest on the way. It gets a little steeper near the top, but even beginners or people with little hiking experience will be able to reach the summit! And you will be rewarded with amazing views from the top!

Variety hiking courses that you can choose depends on your preference. Great nature. Good feelings!

The place is beautiful. old and the mountain view, nature is wonderful the gardens are beautiful, and l recommend everyone to go hiking in this place

Had a beautiful photoshoot there! Lots of nice pictures to put in my Chateau back home :)

A place with a pleasant temperature and a stunning view, especially in the autumn season.

Beautiful area and beautiful hiking. An excellent way to spend an afternoon. Took the Myogo route to Osanbe. However, please be aware: the signposts advertise this route as "beginner friendly" when it is in fact quite physically demanding.

Mt. Sanbe is located almost in the middle of Shimane Prefecture. The foot of the mountain is a gentle plateau.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way home from Ryugenji Mabu. Since the return is downhill, there is no need to pedal an electric bicycle and you can arrive quickly. This is the site of a failed attempt to resume silver production in the Meiji era. 350 years of mined silver was gone... I guess you could call it a relic. (Original) 龍源寺間歩の帰りに立ち寄りました。帰りは下り坂なので電動自転車は漕ぐ必要もなくすすいっと到着。明治時代、銀生産を再開しようとし失敗に終わった跡地です。350年にわたり採掘された銀はもう無かった、、、。遺跡と言ってよいのかなと。

(Translated by Google) A splendid refinery for those days in the Meiji era. However, it will soon be closed. The quality of the ore was poor and it was not profitable... Did you fail to conduct a quality survey, or did you fail to calculate the profitability? It was an investment equivalent to several billion yen today... People in the old days are rough! But now it has a moss-covered, ancient ruins feel to it, and we enjoy it. The smelter site looks more atmospheric when viewed from below. If you don't have time, I don't think you need to go up to the top. (Original) 明治時代の当時としては立派な精錬所。 しかし、あっという間に閉鎖になる。 鉱石の品質が悪く採算取れなかったとか・・・ 品質調査出来なかったのか、それとも採算計算できなかったのか？ 現在の数十億円相当の投資だったとか・・ 昔の人はやること荒っぽいね！ でも、今は苔むして古代の遺跡のような雰囲気があり、私たちは楽しめます。 精錬所跡は、下から見上げる方が雰囲気あります。 時間の無い方は、上まで上がる必要ないと思います。

Museum in a historical place, with parts still remaining from Edo period. Exhibition shows original remains from the long history of Iwami Ginzan. This museum isn't part of the local tourist organisation (which is good). Staff is very knowledgeable about the subject, kind and helpful.

a long drive in the rain for not much - museum was only in Japanese so I didn't get a lot of the meaning - apart from a few maps. There may have been other shops open earlier but as we got there around closing time (4pm?) it looked largely closed.

There was a few cool things and it was pretty cheep for foreigners, but few things had translations, and overall it was a pretty small museum.

(Translated by Google) This is a paid area (600 yen for adults). The history of Iwami Ginzan and why it is called "Imo Daikan"? There is an explanation. This is a general museum. (Original) 有料エリア(大人600円)です。石見銀山の歴史や，なぜ「いも代官」と言われるか？の説明とかがあります。一般的な資料館です。

(Translated by Google) While visiting the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine World Heritage Site and strolling through the streets of Omori, I passed by the Iwami Ginzan Museum. The building's facade, with its old-fashioned, historic design, prompted me to take a photo, but due to time constraints, I ended up not going inside. However, upon further research, I discovered that this facility is an important base for gaining deeper insight into the World Heritage Site and has a fascinating historical background. The museum, officially known as the "Potato Magistrate Museum," as its name suggests, features exhibits centered on the achievements of Ido Heizaemon, the magistrate who saved people during the Great Famine by popularizing sweet potatoes. This answers the simple question, "Why the potato magistrate?" Even just knowing this fact makes the history of Iwami Ginzan feel more familiar. The building itself also bears witness to its changing history. It was originally the site of a jin'ya (camp) where the shogunate's magistrate's office was located during the Edo period. The current museum building is a repurposed version of the former Nima County Office, built in 1902. The fact that a Meiji-era administrative center stands on the site of a former magistrate's office evokes a sense of the complex history of the area. The exhibits include valuable materials such as mining tools, ancient documents, and picture scrolls from the Sengoku period through the Edo period, when the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine was at its height, as well as a wealth of mineral specimens, including silver ore. This comprehensive guide to the 500-year history of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and the mining technology of the time makes it an ideal place to get a general understanding before exploring the Omori townscape and ruins such as Ryugenji Mabu. As public vehicles are restricted from entering the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, the most convenient way to get there is to take a bus from JR Oda City Station and get off at the "Omori Daikansho Ato" bus stop. If you come by car, you'll need to park in the World Heritage Center's parking lot (free) and then take a local bus from there. Admission is 600 yen for adults (300 yen for elementary and junior high school students), and some people say that the volume of exhibits is lacking compared to other World Heritage Centers, but considering the condensed historical exhibits that can only be seen here and its location on the site of a former magistrate's office, I've come to realise that it's a facility worth stopping by at least once. Next time I'll make time to go inside. (Original) 世界遺産石見銀山を訪れ、大森の町並みを散策した際に、石見銀山資料館の前を通りました。建物の外観が歴史を感じさせる古めかしい造りだったので、なんとなく写真を撮ったのですが、時間の都合で結局中には入っていません。ただ、後で調べたところ、この施設が世界遺産を深く知るための重要な拠点であり、非常に興味深い歴史的背景を持っていることが分かりました。 この資料館は、正式には「いも代官ミュージアム」とも呼ばれており、その名の通り、大飢饉の際にサツマイモ（芋）を普及させて人々を救った代官、井戸平左衛門の功績をメインにした展示があるそうです。これは「なぜいも代官なのか？」という素朴な疑問の答えにもなっていて、知識として知っておくだけでも石見銀山の歴史がより身近に感じられます。 建物自体も歴史の変遷を物語っており、ここは元々、江戸時代に幕府の代官所が置かれていた陣屋跡です。現在の資料館の建物は、明治35年（1902年）に建てられた旧邇摩郡役所（にまぐんやくしょ）を再利用したものだそうで、かつての代官所跡に明治時代の行政の中心地が建っているという点に、歴史の重層性を感じました。 展示内容としては、石見銀山が最も栄えた戦国時代から江戸時代にかけての採掘工具、古文書、絵巻物といった貴重な資料に加え、銀鉱石などの鉱物標本が豊富に展示されているとのことです。石見銀山の500年にわたる歴史や、当時の鉱山技術について体系的に学べるため、大森の町並みや龍源寺間歩などの遺跡を巡る前に、ここで知識の概要を把握しておくのが理想的だと感じました。 アクセス面では、石見銀山は一般車両の乗り入れが制限されているため、JR大田市駅からバスに乗り、「大森代官所跡」バス停で下車するのが最も便利です。車で来た場合は、世界遺産センターの駐車場（無料）に停めて、そこから路線バスで移動することになります。 入館料は大人600円（小・中学生は300円）で、展示物のボリュームについては、他の世界遺産センターと比べると物足りないという意見もあるようですが、ここでしか見られない歴史を凝縮した展示や、代官所の跡地という立地を考えると、一度は立ち寄る価値がある施設だと認識を改めました。次は時間を作って、中に入ってみようと思っています。

(Translated by Google) Iwami Ginzan Museum (Imo Daikan Museum) is located in the Omori Ginzan Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, Omori Town, Oda City, Shimane Prefecture, about 6.3km southeast of JR Nima Station. Opening hours are 9:30am - 5:00pm, and admission is 600 yen for adults. This is the site of the Omori Daikansho, which governed the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine under its direct control and was the central facility for its management when it was relocated from Ginzan Sakauchi to the Omori district in the 17th century. Originally consisting of a local government office and a silver mine government office, the remaining gate tenement (rebuilt in 1815) still houses the gatekeeper's office and temporary prison. It moved to its current location during the reign of the second magistrate, Takemura Tango-no-kami. After the Meiji Restoration, the former Tekima County Office (built in 1902) was constructed here, and the building has been open to the public as a museum since 1976. The museum exhibits approximately 300 items, including Iwami Ginzan mining tools, picture scrolls, historical documents, mining materials, and mineral specimens, and is open to the public as a facility where you can experience the history of Iwami Ginzan. (Original) 石見銀山資料館（いも代官ミュージアム）は、JR仁万駅の南東6.3kmほどの島根県大田市大森町の大森銀山伝統的重要建造物群保存地区にある資料館です。 開館時間は9:30～17:00で、入場料大人600円です。 17世紀に銀山柵内から大森地区に移転した石見銀山支配の中枢施設の直轄領の石見銀山を治めた大森代官所の跡です。 地方役所と銀山方役所からなリ、現存する門長屋（1815 年再建）には門番詰所や仮牢などが残っています。 二代目奉行の竹村丹後守（たけむらたんごのかみ）の時に、現在の地に移りました。 明治維新後に旧適摩郡役所（明治35年築）が建てられ、その建物を昭和51年（1976年）より資料館として公開しています。 石見銀山の採掘工具、絵巻、歴史資料、鉱山資料、鉱物標本など約300点を展示しており、石見銀山の歴史を体感できる施設として一般公開されています。

Incredible small museum “isolated” in the countryside where we learned how 3 miracles of nature safeguarded thousand years old trees with their roots still in the ground

Cool museum to learn geography and history of the area. It is also nice to see how the engineers dig the trees.

Some very old trees that were underground for 10,000 years. Don't miss it if you're nearby, but maybe not worth the trip if you come from further away. Note that there isn't much in English.

When already enjoying the area around Mount Sense or the World Heritage sites of Iwami-Ginzan, I would suggest to add this place on your Schedule. Well prepared and informative. Takes about 90 minutes for the exhibition.

(Translated by Google) Part 14 of our historical exploration! The Sanbe Jomon Forest Museum was the facility I was most looking forward to on this trip. I reserved a guide in advance on the website (1,000 yen for 30 minutes) and admission was 300 yen. I entered the museum at 9:00 AM when it opened. From the entrance to the underground buried forest exhibit, I was constantly excited. Jomon cedar trees, buried by the eruption of Mt. Sanbe approximately 4,000 years ago, appeared before my eyes, still rooted and with their long trunks. The trunks, washed away by a mudslide, were also preserved in their original state. Listening to the guide's detailed explanations as we progressed, I was deeply moved at every turn. After the 30-minute guided tour, I continued to look closely, and I was moved to tears. Since it wasn't in a settlement area, there were no human bones or pottery, but some of the deep layers of volcanic ash remained intact, and I witnessed the power of nature. While there are other buried forests throughout Japan, discovering one in this state is rare, even on a global scale, and it was a truly valuable experience. Personally, I'm interested in the history of the Jomon and Yayoi periods, so this is a place I want to visit regularly. I know that they're making efforts to preserve it every day, and I know it must be difficult, but I hope they continue to do so. Thank you for the detailed guide. I look at the straps every day, which can only be purchased locally. I've been looking at the photos every day since I got home, but honestly, photos don't convey the impact at all, so I definitely want you to go and see it for yourself❗️ (Original) 歴史探訪第14弾！「さんべ縄文の森ミュージアム」今回の旅行で一番楽しみにしていた施設です。事前にHPでガイドを予約（30分1000円）入館料は300円。9時の開館と同時に入館。地下に展示されている埋没林の入口から興奮の連続でした。約4000年前の三瓶山の噴火によって埋没した縄文杉が根をはった状態で且つ長い幹のまま目の前に現れ、土石流によって流された幹もそのままの状態で保存さています。ガイドの方の詳しい説明を聞きながら進む事によって都度感動しました。30分のガイドのあとも再度細かくじっくりと眺めていると思わず感動で涙しました。集落にあたる場所では無かったので、人骨や土器などは無かったようですが、深く降り積もった火山灰の層も一部そのまま残されており、自然の力を目の当たりにしました。全国に埋没林は他にもありますが、このような状態で発見されているのは世界的にも珍しくとても貴重な体験をしました。個人的に縄文・弥生の歴史に興味があるので、今後もここは定期的に訪れたい場所になりました。日々保存のための工夫を施しているようで、大変だと思いますが今後も保存活動をお願いします。詳しいガイドありがとうございました。現地でしか買えないストラップを毎日眺めています。帰ってからも毎日写真を眺めてますが、正直写真では迫力が全く伝わらないので、是非一度見に行って欲しいです❗️

(Translated by Google) This romantic museum preserves a buried forest from the Jomon period. The forest, which was trapped underground by volcanic activity, has been preserved in a state that allows it to be viewed, something you won't find anywhere else. I'm impressed not only by the exhibits but also by the technology used to display them in this state. The admission fee is also exceptionally reasonable, making this one of Shimane's most recommended spots. (Original) 縄文時代の埋没林を保存している、ロマンあふれるミュージアム。 火山活動によって地中に閉じ込められた林を鑑賞できる状態で保存しており、ちょっと他では見たことがないです。 展示もそうですが、この状態で展示をしているその技術に感動を覚えます。 見学料も破格で、島根で一二を争うオススメスポットです。

(Translated by Google) Admission is 300 yen. A series of coincidences has miraculously left this Jomon period forest buried under volcanic ash and sediment. What's amazing is that the wood still smells as if it's alive. Time has stood still as the air has been cut off and the area has been vacuum-packed. It's hard to convey in a photograph, but each cedar tree is huge, and you get a sense of the sheer scale of the ancient forest. Currently, the wood is preserved by keeping it dry and applying trehalose. (Original) 入館料300円。4000年前の縄文時代の森が、幾つもの偶然が重なって奇跡的に火山灰や土砂に埋没した形で残ったそうです。 驚くべきは、現在でもまるで生きているような木の香りがする事。空気が遮断され、真空パック状態になって時が止められたのですね。 写真では伝わりにくいですが一本一本の杉の木が巨大で、太古の森のスケールの大きさを感じました。 現在では、乾燥状態を保ちつつトレハロースを塗布して保存処理がされているそうです。

The fewer tourists you encounter on the Iwami Ginzan Kaidō, the more you can immerse yourself in its cinematic atmosphere. Walking the historic route in near solitude allows the surrounding landscape, ancient architecture and tranquil air to transport you back in time. It's a rare place where the absence of crowds enhances the experience, like stepping onto the set of a drama.

The staff is so kind to explain all the rooms. We enjoyed vititing here. This is a very big house with a underground stone room.

Fantastic large merchant family house. Must visit if coming to the Iwami Ginzan silver mines. Gives you a good idea on how they lived during the Edo period.

This white big house offers abundant histories of silver mine era and Omori. I can see a similar traditional kitchen to what i ve seen on tv in some Japanese movies. There is also bungker to keep mail underground.

Some friends and I attended the traditional cooking demonstration, which was great! Learning how rice was traditionally washed and measured, chopping wood, stoking the fire, we participated in every step of the process, which was really fun and rewarding. Plus, delicious onigiri at the end. The house itself was lovely, the hina doll display was beautiful, and our host was so kind and encouraging. Totally recommend stopping in, just to look, or for a longer experience:)

I visited the Kumagai House to participate in a traditional cooking lesson with some friends and guides. The town itself is very beautiful and traditional, and the Kumagai House especially was very grand and full of history. At the time I visited, the family had many dolls on display for Hina Festival and it was very beautiful. The cooking demonstration was fascinating, and we learned and participated in every step of the cooking process, from chopping wood, to washing rice, to stoking the traditional wood-fire stove. We even learned about the different ways to store and serve rice the old-fashioned way, not wasting a single grain. In the end, our freshly made onigiri were delicious! I recommend visiting the Kumagai house, whether just stopping by or signing up for a tour like this one!

History of the Kumagai Family According to some old documents, the family's ancestors would live in Mt. Sennoyama and serve under the Mori clan as local officials to supervise silver miners in the beginning of the Edo period. According to a family record, a family named Kumagai who lived elsewhere handed over their name and property to another family named Tagiya who lived in Omori in 1729, which was the dawn of the Kumagai family in Omori. The Kumagai family conducted various kinds of business such as silver mining, sake brewing, inspecting tribute silver, supervising silver mines partly as a substitute for the Tokugawa Shogunate, and arranging all necessaries for the local governor's office. In addition, the head of the family in each generation served as an Elder in Omori town. Thus, they were one of the most influential merchant' families in the Iwami Ginzan area.

Came across this beautiful beach on out way to Yunotsu hot spring. The beach sand sounds when you walk there. The sunset there was so beautiful.

Gorgeous sand just like in Australia no rubbish very clean, water was great to swim in and very safe for kids too. There is a rinse of for feet and toilet .

(Translated by Google) I went swimming in 2023.7 It is a long stretch of beach where the water is knee deep. The water is highly transparent, but depending on the time of day and location, microplastics and Hangul labels can be found floating in the water, making me hesitant to dip my face in the water. Since the water is shallow, it is best to swim away from such areas. There was a small beach house run by a local, and we ate homemade curry there. After all, it is beef curry as it is only in western Japan. As expected, this place is far from the city, and not many people came even on Saturdays and Sundays. The parking fee was 1,000 yen for beachgoers and 300 yen for tourists, but the vacant lot next to the private house in front of the entrance was 500 yen, so I parked there. There weren't even any vending machines nearby, so I bought my drinks at a private store with a green vinyl canopy. We sell 500ml and 2 liter teas and sweets. It's a far away beach that is quiet even in summer. Come and make memories. (Original) 2023.7に遊泳してきました ひざ下までの水深が長々と続く浜です。透明度も高いのですが、時間帯や場所によってはマイクロプラスチックやハングルのラベルが浮いており、顔を水につけるのがためらわれました。遠浅ですからそういうところから離れて遊泳するのがよいでしょう。 地元の人がやってる小さな海の家がありそこで手作りカレーを食べました。やはり西日本だけあってビーフカレーです。さすがにここは都市部からは遠いのか、土日でもそんなに人は来てなかったです。 駐車料金は海水浴客は1000円で、観光客は300円でしたが、入り口手前にある民家横の空き地は、500円だったのでそこに駐めました。近くには自販機すらないので、緑のビニールの庇のある個人商店にて飲み物は買いました。500mlや2リットルのお茶やお菓子が売っています。 遠い遠い、夏でもどこか静かな浜辺です。思い出作りに是非。

(Translated by Google) This was the beach they stopped off at on the Wednesday Downtown West Japan Moped, so I stopped by for a bit. It makes a noise when you walk, as if you're stepping on your toes! (Original) 水曜どうでしょうの原付西日本で 立ち寄ってた浜でしたので 少し寄りました。 つま先から踏み込むような感じで 歩くと鳴ります!

(Translated by Google) It is one of Japan's three largest singing sand beaches, and is a mysterious beach where the legend of Kotohime is told. Unfortunately, it was raining when I visited, so the sand didn't cry, but the sand on the beach is so fine that it looks comfortable even with bare feet. When you scoop up sand, you can see silica, which is the raw material for transparent glass. There are waves like the Sea of ​​Japan, and it looks like it's going to be super fun. There is also a parking lot. [postscript] I had some free time at work, so I stopped by for the first time in a while. This time it was April and it was a sunny day, so the singing sand finally made its sound. When you step on the sand with your toes, it makes a squeaking sound. According to the description, it is wonderful that this beautiful sandy beach is maintained by the power of nature, as the waves move the quartz sand back and forth, cleaning and polishing it. Of course, thanks to the efforts of the local people, the beaches are kept clean by cleaning up plastic waste and other debris. Littering is strictly prohibited. (Original) 日本三大鳴き砂の海水浴場で、琴姫伝説が語られる神秘的な海岸です。 私がお伺いした時はあいにくの雨で、砂は泣きませんでしたが、砂浜の砂がきめ細やかで裸足でも気持ち良さそうな浜です。 砂をすくってみると、透明なガラスの原料であるシリカが見られます。 日本海らしく波もあって、超楽しそうです。 駐車場もあります。 ［追記］ 仕事で少し時間に合間ができたので久しぶりに立ち寄りました。 今回はよく晴れていた4月でしたので、遂に鳴き砂が鳴きました。 つま先から勢いよく砂を踏みしめると、キュッキュッと鳴きます。 説明文によれば、波浪による石英砂が往復運動して洗浄、円摩されて、この綺麗な砂浜が自然の力で維持されてるのは素敵です。 もちろん、地域の方の努力により、プラごみ等を清掃されているから、綺麗な砂浜が維持されています。 ゴミのポイ捨ては厳禁です。

(Translated by Google) Visited during Golden Week 2022 I went there because I wanted to go to Umaji Station. It is especially popular with Shimane residents in the summer. I went in late spring (May 2022), so maybe I couldn't hear the singing sand. Legend has it that the singing sand was caused by the death of Kotohime, who fled to this area. There is a small monument by the beach that may have been built in her memory. (Original) 2022年ゴールデンウィークに訪問 馬路駅に行きたくて行った。特に夏は島根県民に大人気。 晩春（2022年5月）に行ったので、鳴き砂が聞こえなかったのかもしれない。 鳴き砂は、この地に逃亡した箏姫の死によるものだという言い伝えがあり。 彼女を記念して建てられたと思われる浜のそばに小さな記念碑があります。

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful shrine with a beautiful torii gate. The precincts are also spacious and have a calm atmosphere. At the time of our visit, students were eating in the shade of a tree. It was a picturesque scenery. You can also enter the shrine (no shoes allowed). Please come inside and look up at the ceiling. (Original) 立派な鳥居に立派な拝殿です。境内も広く落ち着いた雰囲気があります。ちょうど参拝時には，学生さん達が木陰でお食事中でした。絵になる風景でした。 拝殿の中にも入れます(土足厳禁)。是非中も入って頂いて，天井を見上げて下さい。

(Translated by Google) I was intrigued after watching a YouTube video and decided to pay my respects. When I clapped my hands under the painting in the photo, I could feel the sound bouncing and reverberating. I was also intrigued by the family crest around the dragon painting, but even after researching I couldn't identify whose family crest it belonged to, which left me feeling a bit frustrated. The atmosphere was great, so it's definitely worth seeing!! (Original) YouTubeの動画を観て興味を持ち参拝しました。 そして、写真にある絵の下で拍手をすると音が跳ね返り響くのを感じました。 また、龍の絵の周りにある家紋にも目がいき興味を持ちましたが、調べても誰の家紋が特定が出来ず少しモヤモヤ。 雰囲気が良かったので見る価値ありです！！

(Translated by Google) A shrine famous for its roaring dragon. It's located right at the entrance to the Omori district, and the shrine is small and can be seen in about ten minutes, so we recommend stopping by when sightseeing in the silver mine. You can also see the roaring dragon for free. (Original) 鳴龍で有名な神社。 大森地区の入口すぐにあり、社も小さく十分位で見れるので、銀山観光の際は立ち寄るのをオススメします。 鳴龍も無料で見れます。

(Translated by Google) Kigami Shrine is located in Omori-cho, Oda City, Shimane Prefecture, about 6.3 km southeast of JR Nima Station. It is listed in the Engishiki Shinmei-cho (Choice of Shinto Shrines), and formerly held the rank of prefectural shrine. Originally enshrined on a high mountain in Maji, Nima-cho, on the east coast of Iwami Province, it was worshipped as the deity of safe navigation and maritime defense. It has been pointed out that Kigami means "turtle god," and the shrine's crest is also associated with the legend of a tortoise shell and turtle stone. When the Ouchi clan acquired the silver mine in 1434, the shrine was relocated to Mt. Kogo in Omori-cho as the clan's guardian deity. When the Mori clan acquired the silver mine in 1577, the shrine was moved to its current location and named Kigami Shrine Omori Daimyojin. He is said to be "the god of drought relief and epidemic prevention, and is the guardian deity of Omori." The name "Omori" comes from the fact that a large tree grew so lushly in the area that it resembled a forest, and that the area attracted great devotion around this tree, which is also the origin of the town's current name. This large tree was destroyed along with the shrine building in a major fire in Omori Town in 1800 (Kansei 12) during the late Edo period. The current worship hall (designated a tangible cultural property of Shimane Prefecture) was rebuilt in 1812 (Bunka 9). The multi-story worship hall is in the irimoya style with a tiled roof, and is modeled after the style of Kameido Tenmangu Shrine (Kameido Tenjin Shrine) in Edo. The brilliantly colored ceiling painting "Crying Dragon" on the mirrored ceiling was created in 1818 by Kajitani Enrin Saimoriyasu, a painter from the foot of Mt. Sanbe. Like the painting on the ceiling of the Yakushido Hall of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, if you stand directly below the painting and clap your hands, the ceiling will ring out. There are also coffered ceilings on either side of the mirrored ceiling, and each square is painted with a traditional crest. Similar traditional crests can also be seen at Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The enshrined deity is Omononushi-no-Kami (Yamato-Omononushi-Kushimi-no-Mikoto). " and is also famous as a god of matchmaking. Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto, Sainushi-no-Mikoto, and Amenogoyane-no-Mikoto are enshrined here. Shrines within the grounds include an Inari shrine and a Tenmangu shrine. Enshrined within the grounds is a "Turtle Stone," which is said to have been dedicated during the Engi era (901-923) in the early Heian period. It was carried when the shrine was moved to Mt. Atago during the Eikyo era (1429-1441), but was forgotten when it was moved to its current location during the Tensho era (1573-1592). The Turtle Stone made it down the mountain on its own, but Due to its weight, the stone sank to the riverbed at the foot of the mountain. After that, when passing by the river, a strange sound like grinding azuki beans could be heard coming from within. A curious person pulled it out and it was left by the roadside until the Taisho era (1912-1926), where it came to be called the Azuki Stone. One night, the stone appeared in the dream of a certain Tanaka, who told him what had happened, and it was decided that the stone would return to its place within the grounds of our shrine. Every year in October, the Miyuki Festival, a major autumn festival, is held here. Tenshinjin Shashasuna Daimyojin, which enshrines Sukunahikona no Mikoto, is located about 1km away. The procession continues to the enclave of Takasago, where the shrine is located. The name "Omori," where the shrine is located, comes from the former village of Omori in Nima County, Iwami Province. In 1896, the Nima County Office was established in Omori Village. In 1903, Omori Village was incorporated as a town and became Omori Town. In 1951, Omori Town and Mizukami Village merged to form Omori Town. In 1956, Omori Town, Isotake Village, and Oya Village were incorporated into Oda City. (Original) 城上神社（きがみじんじゃ）は、JR仁万駅の南東6.3kmほどの島根県大田市大森町に鎮座している神社です。延喜式神名帳の式内社で、旧社格は県社です。 元々は、石見国東海岸にある仁摩町 馬路（まじ）の高山に鎮座していて航海安全と海防の神として信仰を集めていました。 城上（きがみ）は「亀神」だという指摘があ理、当社の神紋は亀甲、亀石の伝承とも関連しています。 永享6年（1434年）大内氏が銀山を手に入れると、氏の守護神として大森町の香語山に遷座しました。 天正5年（1577年）毛利氏が銀山を手に入れると、現在地に遷座し、城上神社大森大明神と称されたといいます。「救旱攘疫（きゅうかんじょうえき）の神徳顕（あきら）かなり」といわれ、大森の氏神です。 「大森」の名は当地に一本の大樹が森をなす如く大きく繁茂していて、この大樹を中心として大いに信仰を集めたことに因み、現在の町名の起こりでもあります。この大樹は江戸時代後期の寛政12年（1800年）大森町の大火で社殿とともに類焼して焼失してしまいました。 文化9年（1812年）現在の拝殿（島根県指定有形文化財）が再建されました。重層式拝殿で入母屋造り、瓦葺きで、江戸の亀井戸天満宮（亀戸天神社）の様式を取り入れたものです。鏡天井に描かれた極彩色の天井絵「鳴き竜」は、三瓶山麓の絵師の梶谷円林斉守休（（かじたにえんりんさいもりやす）の手によるもので、文化15年（1818年）の作です。日光東照宮の薬師堂の天上に描かれた絵のように、絵の真下に立って手をたたくと、天井がリンリンと鳴り響きます。また、この鏡天井の左右に格天井（ごうてんじょう）があり、各升目に紋づくしが描かれている。このような紋づくしは清水寺にも見られます。 御祭神は「大物主神（倭大物主櫛瓱魂命）」で縁結びの神としても名高いです。 武甕槌命・齋主命・天兒屋根命を合祀しています。 境内社に、稲荷社、天満宮などがあります。 境内には『亀石』が安置されていて、平安時代前期の延喜年間（901〜923年）に奉納されたものだといいます。 永享年間（1429〜1441年）に、当社が愛宕山へ遷座した時は運ばれましたが、天正年間（1573〜1592年）の現在地への遷座の際、この亀石は忘れられてしまいました。 亀石は自力で山を下りましたが、自分の重さで山麓の川底に沈んでしまいました。それから、その川側を通ると、川の中から、不思議な音、小豆を研ぐような音が聞えるようになりました。物好きな人がこれを引き上げ、大正時代（1912〜1926年）まで道端に置かれ、小豆石と呼ばれました。ある夜、この石が田中某の夢に現れ、事の次第を打ち明けて、再び当社境内に落ち着くことになったといいます。 毎年10月秋の大祭である御幸祭が開催されます。1kmほど離れた少彦名命を祀る天真神社長砂大明神がある長砂（たかさご）という飛地境地内まで行列します。 神社のある「大森（おおもり）」という地名は、かつてあった石見国の邇摩郡（にまぐん）大森村に由来します。 明治29年（1896年）邇摩郡役所が大森村に設置されました。 明治36年（1903年）大森村が町制施行して大森町となりました。 昭和26年（1951年）大森町・水上村が合併し、改めて大森町が発足しました。 昭和31年（1956年）大森町・五十猛村・大屋村が大田市に編入しました。

(Translated by Google) Kigami Shrine (Kigamijinja) 1477, Omori-cho, Oda City, Shimane Prefecture, 694-0305 Deity: Omononushi-no-Mikoto Crest: Tortoiseshell crest Originating from Mt. Umaji Takayama in Nima County (between the Otomi Castle ruins and the Yunotsu Radio Relay Station), the shrine was moved to Mt. Atago in Omori Town in 1434. In 1577, it was enshrined at its current location (next to the Iwami Ginzan Museum). The "crying dragon" and crests painted on the ceiling of the worship hall evoke a sense of history. It's said that if you enter the worship hall and clap your hands under the "crying dragon," the dragon will cry. The crests around the "crying dragon" are the family crests of the officials of the silver mine and Omori Town who were involved in the construction of the shrine when it was rebuilt in 1812. The enshrined deity is Omononushi no Mikoto, the sacred crest of the tortoiseshell crest, the dragon on the ceiling, and the style of the shimenawa rope indicate that this is an Izumo-style shrine that has been around since ancient times. About 310m south of Shirogami Shrine is Ido Shrine.

(Translated by Google) "Ota City: Jogami Shrine" I stopped by in April 2016. This is one of the places I particularly wanted to visit around the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, which has many historical sites. The highlight of Jogami Shrine is the brightly colored ``Nakiryu'' on the mirrored ceiling of the hall of worship. If you sit directly under the painting and clap your hands, you will hear a clear ringing sound, just like a dragon's cry. The enshrined deity is Okuninushi no Mikoto, and the shrine building is a multi-story worship hall with a tiled roof and Irimoyazukuri style modeled after Kameido Tenmangu Shrine in Edo. According to the shrine's biography, in 1434, the Ouchi clan moved from Majitakayama, Numa District to Atagoyama in Omori Town, and in 1577, the Mori clan moved to their current location. , is said to have been built. He is said to be ``Akira, the god of drought relief,'' and is the guardian deity of Omori. The current shrine building was rebuilt in 1812. The worship hall (a prefectural cultural property) is a double-faced worship hall in the Tang and Japanese styles, with a multi-layered roof and a gabled roof. On the coffered ceiling of the hall of worship, a richly colored singing dragon is painted by Enrin Saimoriyasu Kajitani, an artist from the foothills of Mt. It is also interesting to see that the family crests of the silver mine and Omori town officials who were involved in the construction at the time are painted on the coffered ceiling. It was a wonderful place. (Original) 「太田市：城上神社」 2016年4月に立ち寄りました。史跡の多い石見銀山周辺でも特に来たかった場所のひとつです。 城上神社の見どころは、拝殿の鏡天井にある極彩色の「鳴き龍」です。絵の真下に座って手をたたくと、まるで龍が鳴いているかのように、リンリンと澄んだ音が鳴り響きます。 祭神は、大国主命（おおくにぬしのみこと）で、社殿は江戸の亀井戸天満宮を手本とした入母屋造り（いりもやづくり）瓦葺きという、様式の重層式拝殿です。 社伝によると、永享6年（1434）、大内氏が邇摩郡馬路高山（まじたかやま）から大森町の愛宕（あたご）山へ遷座し、天正5年（1577）毛利氏が現在地に遷座、造営したといいます。 「救旱攘疫（きゅうかんじょうえき）の神徳顕（あきら）かなり」といわれ、大森の氏神です。現在の社殿は文化9年（1812）に再建されたものです。 拝殿（県文化財）は唐、和様の二重向拝（ごはい）で、屋根が重層で入母屋造りという特色ある様式です。拝殿の格天井（ごうてんじょう）には三瓶山麓の絵師梶谷円隣斎守休（えんりんさいもりやす）により、極彩色の鳴き竜が描かれています。 また格天井の格間には、当時建設に関与した銀山や大森町の役人たちの家紋が描かれていて興味深いです。 素晴らしい場所でした。

A bit of a walk but you can rent bikes not far from the carpark! Refer to google maps for location. The mine itself is awesome and does a loop! Nice and cool on a hot summers day

2024/12/16 Closed for construction. Google open time was showing as open regular hour. We drove all the way from Hiroshima and not able to get in.

At the entrance to Ryugenji Mabu, there is an entrance fee of 500 yen, with the convenience of cashless payment. The short tour inside takes about 30 minutes and offers a fascinating glimpse into the historic mining tunnels. Although compact, the experience is immersive, with the cool, damp air and narrow passageways bringing the history of Iwami Ginzan to life. It's a well-organised visit, perfect for a short but memorable stopover.

Interesting site that gives a window into the history of the Iwami Ginzan silver mine. Not a lot of information in English, yet foreign visitors qualify for reduced price entry.

Nice temple to visit if you're in the area.

It's more interesting than I thought cos it's the HISTORY of the mine that makes it interesting to visit. We were lucky to have a local guide, but there isn't really one needed for a visit. It's not a cave but a mine shaft. Ceiling is low over the first few metres but gets higher further in. Flat shaft floor, so it's easy to walk. Overall maybe 10 minutes from entrance to exit when rushed. But for getting a feel what working in here was like, one should stop and look around and into the side shafts (some look incredibly narrow for people having had to work in there), and in January maybe even spot some hibernating bats.

The largest silver mine in Japan. It was closed in 1923 and turned to a tourist attraction. It is listed on UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Nice display of nature and geography. The dinosaurs and other animal exhibits are well arranged and informative too. The planetarium show is good. Special mention to the kids play area. Visiting this museum is fun for both kids and adults. The drive around Mt.Sanbe is very beautiful and scenic.

Great for kids The over all museum was ok, but not worth the cost of the ticket. However, if you have a child, there is an amazing kids area! We enjoyed this room the most.

It is my childhood memories place and happy to visit again with my family this time. It has historical exhibition about nature of Shimane area that is pretty interesting and nice to learn about it every time I came. My kids said they love here and wanna come back again that makes me really happy to take my family here! My kids especially enjoyed planetarium shows (saw all of shows that was amazed me coz they normally don't like darkness!).

Nicely done little nature history museum. Worth a visit when you are around.

Nice place, great scenery and good information on the nearbye mountain peaks.

(Translated by Google) It was my first time there, and the facility was much larger than I expected, making it a very enjoyable facility. I also watched the planetarium, and it was wonderful to listen to a female attendant's slow, gentle, and detailed explanation of the night sky above Mt. Sanbe, the starry sky that changes with the seasons, the positions of the constellations and their meanings. It was a wonderful facility where you can learn about a variety of things, including the formation of the Earth, the formation of Mt. Sanbe and its surroundings, geological strata, trees, living things, and the universe. Next time, I'd like to go and take my time to explore the exhibits. (Original) 初めて行きましたが、想像以上に館内は広くすごく楽しめる施設でした。 プラネタリウムも観たのですが、係の女性が話す三瓶山上空の夜空や季節で変わり行く星空 星座の位置やその星座の意味をゆっくり優しく丁寧な説明を聞きながらの夜空はとても良かったです。 地球の成り立ち、三瓶山やその周辺の成り立ちや地層 樹木 生物 宇宙とさまざまなことを知ることができる素晴らしい施設でした。 今度は時間に余裕をもってゆっくりと見学しに行きたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It has athletics, a park, and a campground, so it's a very satisfying facility.You can spend a whole day looking at everything at your leisure.The entrance fee is cheap, but you can see the planetarium as many times as you want for free.There's also a soba restaurant inside, and the soba noodles are delicious. The contents were a little different from the pictures, but they also put a lot of thought into the exhibits, and I thought it was pretty amazing to see the actual ants and earth dragons displayed behind glass. It's a facility that all kinds of children want to see, and it's worth going just for this reason. (Original) アスレチックや公園やキャンプ場が併設されており非常に満足度の高い施設、全部ゆっくりみたら1日潰せる、また入場料は安いのにプラネタリウムは無料で何度も見られる、中にそば屋もあって蕎麦も美味しい。ちょっと絵と内容違ったりしてたが…また展示物もこだわっており、蟻や土竜をガラス越しに実物を掲示したりかなり凄いなって思った。色んな子供たちに見てほしい施設、これだけのために行く価値はある。

#SNS I was in this little Shrine for traditional Kagura performance. Amazing experience.

Breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.

(Translated by Google) Ryugozen Shrine is said to have been built in the first year of Tenbun (1532). The main deities enshrined are Okuninushi (God of nation building and medical care), Sukunabikona no Mikoto (God of hot springs), Toyotama Hime no Mikoto (Guardian of the sea), and Takeiwa Tatsumi no Mikoto (God of maritime safety). It was worshiped as a guardian deity for Kitamaebune ships that entered and exited Onsentsu Port. In the shrine grounds, there are still stone lanterns and votive tablets donated by ship owners. It is believed that originally the huge rock behind the shrine building itself was worshiped as the place where the gods descended. Regular Iwami Kagura performances are held on Saturday nights. (Original) 龍御前神社は、天文元年(1532)に創建されたと伝えられています。主祭神は、大国主神(国造りと医療の神)、少彦名命(すくなびこなのみこと：温泉の神)、豊玉姫命(とよたまひめのみこと：海の守護神)、健磐龍命(たけいわたつみのみこと：海上安全の神)の4柱です。 温泉津港に出入りした北前船の守り神として信仰を集めました。境内には、船主から寄進された石灯籠や船絵馬が残されています。 もともとは社殿裏の巨岩自体が神の降臨する場所として崇拝されていたと考えられています。 土曜日の夜、石見神楽定期公演が催されます。

(Translated by Google) Tatsuno Gozenjinja Shrine. A shrine located in the Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in Yunotsu Onsen. On Saturday nights, Iwami Kagura is dedicated in the worship hall. It is a traditional performing art from the Iwami region in western Shimane Prefecture, and 130 groups are said to be preserving the tradition. I watched a Kagura performance by a group from Hamada City. I was deeply moved by the wonderful dance and the sounds of the flutes🪈 and drums🪘. (Original) たつのごぜんじんじゃ。 温泉津温泉の 重要伝統的建造物群保存地区に鎮座する神社。 土曜日の夜に拝殿で石見神楽が奉納されます。 島根県西部石見地区の伝統芸能で、130の団体が伝統を守っているそう。 浜田市の団体の神楽を見学しました。 その素晴らしい舞と笛🪈や太鼓🪘の音に たいへん感動しました。

(Translated by Google) I happened to be staying on a Saturday, so I watched Kagura with a casual feeling that I should watch it since it seemed to be a local specialty. At first, I wasn't sure if I would be able to watch the show for more than an hour because I didn't understand the story or the dialogue very well, but after warming up with Ebisu's sea bream fishing candy, and seeing four rampaging giant snakes that invaded the audience seats (probably on purpose for fan service), it turned out to be a show that even amateurs could enjoy. When I think that that giant snake is made of bamboo and washi paper, I really admire their technical ability. The stage is so close that the atmosphere feels real, so if you're going to watch it anyway, I recommend sitting in the front row. Tickets must be reserved in advance at a tourist information center. (Original) 泊まったのがたまたま土曜日でとりあえず名物らしいので観ておこうかという軽い気持ちで神楽を観賞。 最初はストーリーもセリフもよくわからんし１時間以上観続けることができるか正直不安だったが、恵比寿の鯛釣り飴ばらまきでウォーミングアップして、観客席にめっちゃ侵食して暴れる大蛇４体(多分ファンサービスのためわざとだろう)などを観て、素人でも楽しめる舞台だった。あの大蛇が竹と和紙でできてると思うと本当に技術力に脱帽。 舞台が近くて空気がリアルに感じられそうなので、どうせ観るなら最前列で観ることをおすすめする。 チケットは事前に観光案内所などで予約する必要がある。

(Translated by Google) It's a very impressive company. It may be the best attraction in the Onsentsu area. It is said to have been founded in the first year of Tenbun (1532), which is the Muromachi era, and the main deities enshrined are Ōmi Taka no Mikoto, Sukuhikona no Mikoto, Toyotama Hime no Mikoto, and Ken Iwatatsu no Mikoto. There are stairs on the right side of the main shrine, and if you climb them to the top, you will find the old main shrine sitting in a place that looks like it was carved out of a rock. When you look above the old main shrine, it looks like a dragon with its mouth wide open. From there, you can see a panoramic view of the hot spring town of Onsentsu. It seems that Iwami Kagura is offered every Saturday, and I would like to see it again if I have another chance. (Original) なかなかインパクトのある社です。温泉津界隈における一番の見所かもしれません。 室町年間である天文元年（1532年）の勧請とされ、大己貴命、少彦名命、豊玉姫命、健磐龍命を主祭神とします。 社殿の右横に階段があり、そこを登って上まで行くと、岩場をくり抜いたようなところに旧本殿が鎮座しています。旧本殿の上に目をやると、龍が口を大きく開けてるように見えます。そこからは温泉津の温泉街を一望することが出来ます。 毎週土曜日には石見神楽が奉納されているようで、またの機会があれば見てみたいです。

(Translated by Google) It is a shrine with a strangely shaped rock that looks very much like a turtle. The path leading up to it is behind the shrine hall, not too far away. It is not very high, but the grass may be a bit overgrown.

(Translated by Google) The red Sekishu tiles looked wonderful against the blue sky and greenery of the countryside. The flowing stream on the side will soothe your tiredness from walking around town. It is said that there is a Kote-e from the Taisho period with a phoenix as its subject. It is a brightly colored relief made using plaster, which was developed in Japan, and it got its name from the fact that it was finished with a trowel by plasterers. It is said that when wealthy merchants and others who had made a fortune renovated their mansions and storehouses, they often used them to decorate the exterior walls as a symbol of wealth. (Original) 赤い石州瓦が空の青と里山の緑に映えて素敵に感じました。側の小川の流れも町散策の疲れを癒やしてくれます。 大正時代の、鳳凰を題材にした鏝絵（こてえ）があるそうです。日本で発展した漆喰を用いて作られる色鮮やかなレリーフのことで、左官職人がこてで仕上げていくことから名がつきました。財を成した豪商などが屋敷や蔵を改築する際、富の象徴として外壁の装飾に盛んに用いたそうです。

Interesting Samurai house which gives you a good idea on how they lived.

(Translated by Google) As it is a samurai residence, it seems to be a large mansion with quite a number of rooms. Also, the stairs were quite narrow and steep. You can understand the living conditions of the past. (Original) 武家屋敷ということで、かなり部屋数の多い広い邸宅のようですね。 また、階段などはかなり狭く急でした。 昔の生活状態がよくわかりますね

(Translated by Google) I also stopped by the former Kawashima family residence. It is also the only samurai residence that has been opened to the public to tell the story of the lives of senior samurai, and is the remains of a magistrate official built in the early 1800s. The Kawashima family moved to Omori for generations, managing the silver mine and controlling the silver mine territory. The house has a gate facing the street, and when you pass through the gate, you can see the main house with a formal entrance. The main house looks like a one-story building, but there is a second floor above the dirt floor and storage room, and the guest room faces the garden. It was designated as a designated ruin by Ota City in 1993, as it clearly represents the stance of a senior samurai and the residence of a silver mine official. When the main house was rebuilt, the heads of the family were the fifth generation Tokubei and the sixth generation Saburoemon. Saburoemon, said to be the founder of the Kawashima family's revival, was allowed to succeed his father Tokubei in 1808, and was appointed a silver mine official with 30 bales of cut rice and three people to support. In 1810, he was appointed to the position of Yamakata-gake, and eventually worked his way up to the head of the group, before passing away in 1858. Furthermore, it appears that documents related to a foreign ship that washed ashore at Oura Minato (Isotake-cho, Ota City) in 1857 were found in the underlayment of the fittings used in the main house. At this time, Saburoemon seems to have transported foreigners who had drifted ashore to Nagasaki. (Original) 旧河島家住宅にも寄りました。 上級武士の暮らしを伝えるために唯一公開された武家屋敷でもあり、1800年初頭に建築された代官所地役人の遺宅です。 河島家は、代々大森に移住して銀山経営や銀山領内の支配にあたっていました。 住まいは通りに面して門塀を設けており、門をくぐると式台付玄関を備える主屋が正面に見えます。 主屋は平屋建てのように見えますが、土間と納戸の上に二階が設けられ、接客用の座敷は庭に面しています。 上級武士の構えと銀山附役人の屋敷の特徴をよく顕していることから、1993年に大田市指定遺跡となりました。 主屋を再建したころの当主は、五代目徳兵衛、六代目三郎右衛門です。 河島家中興の祖といわれる三郎右衛門は1808年に父徳兵衛の跡職相続が許され、切米三十俵三人扶持で銀山附役人を申し渡されています。 1810年に山方掛を命じられ、最後は組頭まで歴任し、1858年に没しています。 なお、主屋に使われていた建具の下張りから1857年に大浦湊(大田市五十猛町)に漂着した異国船に関する文書が見つかっているようです。 この時、三郎右衛門は漂着した異国人を長崎まで送り届けたようです。

(Translated by Google) There is an admission fee, but this is a rare place where photography is allowed. You can see furniture, tableware, and gardens from the days when it flourished as a silver mining town. You can also climb the stairs that double as a chest of drawers, and armor and other items are on display at the top. There are no handrails and the path is steep, so those with weak legs should be careful. (Original) 入場料が必要ですが、撮影が許可されている珍しい場所です。 銀山の町として栄えていたころの家具や食器、庭園などが見れます。 箪笥を兼ねている階段も登ることができ、登った先には鎧などが展示されています。手すりがない上には急なので、足腰の弱いかたは十分ご注意を。

A small shrine but nice and peaceful. The leaves hasn’t turnes yellow as per October 31st.

(Translated by Google) Visited on November 24th and December 1st, 2024 Nishitaniyama Jozenji Temple located at the foot of Mt. Sanbe in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture The large ginkgo tree in the shrine grounds, estimated to be over 600 years old, was impressive. Apparently it will be specially lit up until December 8th, so I think it would be a good idea to go see it at night. Many people were visiting today as well. There is a parking lot. The road is narrow so please be careful. (Original) 2024年11月24日、12月1日に参拝 島根県大田市の三瓶山麓にある西谷山 浄善寺 境内にある樹齢 推定600年以上の大銀杏、迫力がありました。 12/8まで特別にライトアップをしているみたいですので、夜に見に行ってもいいかなと思います。 今日も次から次にたくさんの人たちが訪れていました。 駐車場はあります。道幅は狭いですので注意が必要です。

(Translated by Google) The 600-year-old ginkgo tree has a golden heartbeat that embodies the energy of life. Mid-November 2025, green leaves. (Original) 樹齢600年の大銀杏は、600年の時を宿す金色の鼓動、生命のエネルギーがすごい。 2025年11月中旬、緑葉。

(Translated by Google) The lighting was beautiful. The tree is estimated to be over 600 years old, so it was very dignified. It seems that it is illuminated from early November to early December every year. (Original) ライトアップが素敵でした。 樹齢が推定600年以上とのことでもの凄い貫禄でした。 毎年ライトアップされるのは11月上旬から12月上旬のようです。

(Translated by Google) I went on a weekday. I was surprised at how big the ginkgo trees were! There were still a few green leaves, but they were so beautiful I was moved. It was a little hard to find Totoro, but there he was. (Original) 平日に行きました。 イチョウの木が大きくてびっくり!少し緑の葉もありましたが、とても綺麗で感動しました。 トトロはなかなか見つけずらかったですが、確かにいました。

(Translated by Google) The ginkgo trees at this temple are also very large and beautiful. (Original) このお寺の銀杏もとても大木です。きれいでした。

(Translated by Google) On the night I visited Izumo Taisha Shrine, Oicho was introduced on the local TV news, so I decided to visit it the next day while walking around Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. The symbol of the temple, the large ginkgo tree, is really large. It is said to be over 600 years old, but its trunk is beautiful and has not rotted, and the branches and leaves that spread out in all directions are well-balanced. The timing is perfect, and the yellow leaves create an indescribable magnificence. It was lit up in the evening, and it was a great collaboration with the beauty of the temple. It was about an hour by car from Izumo Station and about 30 minutes from Iwami Ginzan. (Original) 出雲大社参りの夜、地元のテレビニュースでおおいちょうの紹介があり、翌日の石見銀山散策次に行ってみました。 お寺のシンボル、大銀杏はほんとに大きいです、樹齢600年以上とのことですが、幹は腐ることなく綺麗で全方位に広がる枝と葉がバランス良く盛り上がってます。 タイミングがベストの時で、黄色く色づいた葉がなんともいえない壮大さを醸し出してます。 夕方からライトアップもしており、お寺の美しさとのコラボは最高でした。 出雲駅から車で1時間程、石見銀山から３０分ぐらいでした。

(Translated by Google) Tomogaura Port served as a gateway for silver produced from the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine to be distributed via the sea via the Tomogaura Highway. Lately, my hobby has been watching history videos on YouTube, but up until the end of the Edo period, Japan produced gold and silver. When Japan opened its doors to the world at the end of the Edo period, the value of gold compared to silver was lower than that of other countries by the standards of the great powers at the time, so inferior foreign silver was imported and Japanese gold was exported. . It can be assumed that this was a huge loss under the gold standard system. Furthermore, as inferior foreign silver entered the country, it is assumed that the cost benefits of silver mine production were not calculated and the industry rapidly declined. It was a quiet port that reminded us of the current situation where Japan is becoming increasingly poor due to the import of overseas energy resources at cheap yen prices. When I was a student, I was taught the history of modern Japan, especially from the end of the Edo period, and I had no interest in it at all, but I wish they would teach me about more important things first. (Original) 石見銀山から産出された銀を、鞆ヶ浦街道を経て、海の流通経路の窓口となった鞆ヶ浦港。 最近、YouTubeで歴史の動画を観る事が趣味ですが、江戸時代末期までは日本は金や銀が産出されていました。 江戸末期に開国されると、当時の列強国基準で、日本が銀に対して金の価値が海外に比べ割安だった事から、粗悪な海外の銀が輸入され、日本金が輸出されました。 金本位制の中では、大変な損失だったと推察されます。 更に粗悪な海外の銀が国内に入ってきた事から、銀山産出のコストメリット算出されず急速に衰退した事が想像されます。 海外エネルギー資源を安い円で輸入して、どんどん日本が貧しくなる現代に重ねて考えさせる、静かな港でした。 学生時代は、特に江戸末期から近代日本の歴史は駆け足で教えられ、全く関心は無かったけど、もっと大事な事の教育を先に教えてほしいものです。

(Translated by Google) Along with Okidomari in Onsentsu, it was used as a silver shipping port. It can be seen that the infrastructure development of Iwami was carried out together with the development of the silver mine. It is connected to Kotogahama by the Tomo Tunnel, which is about 100m long. I wonder if they purposely built a tunnel for this purpose. (Original) 温泉津の沖泊とともに銀の積み出し港として使われていた。石見のインフラ整備は銀山開発と共に行われたことがわかる。琴ヶ浜からは100m程度の友トンネルで繋がっている。わざわざこのためにトンネルを作ったのだろうか。

(Translated by Google) Although it is the shortest distance from the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, I visited to find out why Onsentsu, which is further away, gave up its dominance as a silver shipping port. What I felt was that the limits of its capacity and functionality as a port were probably too low. Tomokan is a satellite facility of Iwami Ginzan, and although it is probably not a place that many people visit, the inside of the building is kept to a certain extent, and the people who manage and maintain it are very grateful. My head is down. (Original) 石見銀山から最短の距離にありながら、なぜもっと離れた温泉津に銀の積出港としての優位を明け渡したかを知るために訪れました。 そして感じた事は、港としての容量、機能の限界値が低すぎたんだろうなと。 そして石見銀山のサテライト施設として鞆館が在りますが、なかなか人が訪れる場所ではないであろうものの、館内はある程度綺麗にされており、ここを管理・メンテナンスして下さっている方には非常に頭が下がります。

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful port. small. (Original) 綺麗な港です。小さい。

(Translated by Google) It is a small fishing port, but it has a history of being used to export silver. (Original) 小さな漁港ですが、ここから銀が搬出されていたという歴史があるそうです。

(Translated by Google) In one word, it's a wonderful place. It is one of the places where people, both inside and outside of the prefecture, should definitely experience living learning through hands-on historical learning along with Okidomari in Onsentsu. Seeing is believing, and I believe that visiting a place is more memorable than reading a textbook dozens or hundreds of times. Also, a man I happened to meet inside the Tomo Tunnel, who appeared to be a local, kindly and politely guided me around, which was a huge factor in making my own memories even more wonderful. I would also like to be able to cross to Ushima Itsukushima Shrine. I would like Ota to promote Tomogaura more. It is a place where you can enjoy the splendor of Kotogahama to your heart's content. (Original) 一言で、素晴らしいところです。県内外問わず、温泉津の沖泊とともに歴史の体験学習でぜひとも生きた学びを体験していただきたい場所のひとつです。百聞は一見に如かず、教科書を何十回何百回読むより見るより、現地を訪れたほうがより記憶に残り身につく、そのような場所だと思います。　また、友トンネル内で偶然お会いした地元の方とおぼしき男性の方に懇切丁寧に案内いただけたことも自分自身の記憶としてより素敵なものになった多大な要因でした。　鵜島厳島神社へ渡れるようにもしていただきたいです。もっと、大田に鞆ヶ浦ありをアピールしていただきたい。琴ヶ浜とともにその素晴らしさを思う存分堪能できる地です。

(Translated by Google) The tranquil port of Irise (Original) のどかな入瀬の港

(Translated by Google) It is located a little away from the cityscape. This is a temple where a magnificent wooden gate welcomes you. Since no one was present, it is unclear whether or not they will be able to receive the Goshuin stamp. (Original) 街並みからは少し外れた場所に鎮座されております。 木造の立派な門がお出迎えしてるださるお寺です。 どなたも不在だったので、御朱印が頂けるかは不明です。

(Translated by Google) It was said to be the temple of the magistrate. I was curious and went to check it out. Pass through the magnificent Sanmon gate The main hall is in good condition and is worth seeing. Is the price of 400 yen high? (Original) 代官様の寺　と言われていたので 気になって、行ってみました。 立派な山門を通り 様子の良い本堂は見応えがある。 ４００円の料金は高いかなー。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by when I was riding the ropeway. There is a vineyard nearby, and the grapes harvested there are used to make wine here. A sales floor or eating area? If you don't have to drive, you'll want to drink here. I had to drive anyway, so I bought it and took it home. (Original) ロープウェイに乗った際に寄りました。 付近にはこちらの葡萄畑があり、そちらで採れた葡萄をここでワインにしています。 売り場や飲食スペース？もあり、車の運転がなければここで飲みたいですね。 とりあえず運転があるので買って帰りました。

(Translated by Google) Visited on the last day of Golden Week. In addition to wine, they also have souvenir soft serve ice cream. The wine-flavored soft serve ice cream was also delicious and had a different flavor from the grapes. It's nice to see the open scenery again.

(Translated by Google) This stylish building welcomes you at the entrance to the lift that serves as the starting point for climbing Mt. Sanbe.It is right in front of the parking lot and can be used as a resting place after climbing the mountain.In addition to wine, there is a wide variety of snacks and snacks that are suitable as souvenirs. By the way, don't forget that you can get discounts on wine purchases with your JAF membership card!

(Translated by Google) There were many souvenirs unique to Shimane. The wine soft serve is also delicious. You can sit and eat on the chairs inside or outside. It was written that the wine was only flavored, so even the driver and children could eat it. The toilet has an automatic lid that opens and closes, making it very clean and neat. (Original) 島根ならではのお土産がたくさんありました。 ワインソフトもおいしいです。 店内の椅子や外の椅子に座って食べられます。 ワインは香り付け程度なので運転手やお子様でも食べられます、と書いてありました。 トイレは蓋が自動開閉式だしとても綺麗で清潔感あります。

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed the lift and the winery's famous soft serve ice cream. The view was spectacular and the wine soft serve was delicious ( *˙ω˙*)و Good! However, it was cold while going up the lift, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket (´ε｀;) It's still cold :( ;´꒳`;): (Original) リフトとワイナリー名物ソフトクリームを堪能しました。とても、絶景でワインソフトはとても美味でした( *˙ω˙*)و ｸﾞｯ! しかし、リフト上昇中、寒かったので、上着を持っていくといいかもしれません(´ε｀；) まだまだ寒いです:( ;´꒳`;):

(Translated by Google) It is located next to the sightseeing lift platform at the foot of Sanbe. Wine tasting is available for a fee. The rich red wine was delicious. I heard that the cheesecake you can get here is delicious, so I tried it, and it was quite filling. There were about 3 types of cheesecake. I think it would be a good idea to try and compare. In addition to wine, you can also buy snacks and souvenirs. It's a fun place with an interesting selection of fresh peppers, chocolates, and more. (Original) 三瓶ふもとの観光リフト乗り場の横にあります。有料でワインの試飲ができます。コクのある赤ワインが美味しかったです。ここでいただけるチーズケーキが美味しいと聞いて食べてみましたが、なかなかのボリュームでした。チーズケーキの種類も３種類くらいありました。食べ比べてみてもいいと思います。 ワイン以外にも、おつまみやおみやげも買えます。生胡椒や、チョコレートなど、面白い品揃えで、楽しい場所です。

(Translated by Google) Iwami Castle was located in a historically important location, allowing you to monitor everything from the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine to Nima Port. You can go up to the site. It takes about 20-30 minutes from the bottom. It's hard to make a mistake because the trees and branches are wrapped in pink tape, but I took a wrong turn once when I was getting off. Please pay close attention. There are no castles or stone walls on the mountaintop, but you can see old kuruwa and earthworks. There was a display board, probably installed by a local. There were quite a lot of trees growing and the view was obstructed, but I was able to barely see Nima. I would appreciate it if you could cut down a little more, but it may be difficult since it has been registered as a World Heritage Site. However, I don't think there were so many trees when there was a castle. What exactly is a world heritage site? It was a moment that made me think. (Original) 石見銀山から仁摩港までを監視出来る、歴史的にもとても重要な場所にあった石見城。 その跡地に上がることが出来ます。下から20〜30分程度です。 木や枝にピンクのテープが巻いてあるので間違い難いですが、降りる際に一回道を間違いました。 よくよく注意してください。 山頂には城や石垣はありませんが、昔の曲輪や土塁などが見受けられます。地元の方が設置されたのか表示板がありました。 かなり樹木が生えており視界がかなり遮られてはいますがギリギリ仁摩の方を見る事が出来ました。 もう少し伐採して頂ければ有り難いのですが、世界遺産に登録されたので難しいのかもしれませんね。 ただ、城があった頃はこんなに木々は無かったはずなんですけどね。 世界遺産って一体なんだろう？と思うひと時でした。

(Translated by Google) Cars can be parked on the side of the road towards Nima. It took about 25 minutes to climb slowly from the Oya Iriguchi bus stop. Climb using the pink tape as a guide. It can be slippery after rain, so be careful. (Original) 自動車は仁摩方面の道路脇のスペースに停められます。 大屋入口バス停からゆっくり登って25分くらいでした。 ピンクのテープを目印に登っていきます。 雨の後は滑りますので気を付けて。

(Translated by Google) Iwami Castle was a castle built to protect the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, and is located along the road that leads from the silver mine to the port on the Sea of ​​Japan. Near Wakamiya Shrine Ryugan Mountain Monument There is a stone monument with a turtle on it called. Although the surface has peeled off and the contents are unreadable, it is a monument containing the writings and calligraphy of the Edo period Confucianist Sawakaya. Sawakadani was also the owner of Ginzan Kaido and Kukaichi-shuku Honjin. A monument of Sawakadani's poems is also erected at Iwami Gizan/Kurasenji Temple Exit Guard Station Ruins (⇒Kurasenji Temple Exit Guard Station Ruins) (Original) 石見城は石見銀山守衛のために置かれた城で、銀山から日本海の港に至る街道沿いに位置する。 若宮神社の近くに 龍巖山之銘碑 と呼ばれる亀に載った石碑が建っている。表面が剥落して内容は読めないが、江戸時代の儒者・佐和華谷の撰文・書になる碑。佐和華谷は銀山街道・九日市宿本陣の主でもあった。佐和華谷の詩碑が石見義山・蔵泉寺口番所跡にも建っている（⇒蔵泉寺口番所跡）

(Translated by Google) You can purchase a castle seal at the Iwami Ginzan World Heritage Center. The entrance is difficult to find, and we got a little lost, so it took us about 20 minutes to reach the main castle. The path is not clear. Fluorescent tape is wrapped around the route, so please be mindful of your surroundings at all times and do not lose sight of it. Along the way, there is a decaying guide board, and the sign for the main castle is similarly decaying. From the main castle, you can see the sea and feel the pleasant breeze. It is easy to see why it was such a good location for a lookout castle in the past. (Original) 石見銀山世界遺産センターで御城印を購入できます。入り口は分かりづらく少し迷って主郭までは約20分かかりました。道が明瞭ではありません。ルートの周囲には蛍光テープが巻かれていますので常に周りに気を配り見失わないようにしてください。途中、朽ちかけてる案内板があり、主郭の看板も同様に朽ちています。主郭からは海が見渡せ、風が心地よいです。往時の物見の城としては良い立地なのが頷けます。

(Translated by Google) A mountain castle located on the top of a small mountain about 150m above sea level.

(Translated by Google) In addition to swimming and surfing, the area also attracts many tourists every summer when there are fireworks. Tategami Rock towers to the east, and its appearance is spectacular. It is also one of the best sunset spots in Shimane Prefecture, with spectacular views of the sun setting over the Sea of ​​Japan, and Tategami Rock turning red in the setting sun. Kakedo Matsushima is located about a 15-minute walk from Hame Beach, and is also one of Shimane Prefecture's leading tourist spots. You can go to the beach in a 1 minute walk from the station, and it is easily accessible. There are several places to eat and stay nearby. (Original) 海水浴やサーフィンするだけでなく、毎年夏になると花火が上がり、多くの観光客で賑わいます。東側には立神岩がそびえ立ち、その立ち姿は見事です。また、島根県内有数の夕日スポットであり、日本海に沈む夕日や夕焼け、夕日に焼け赤に染まる立神岩も絶景です。 波根海水浴場から徒歩15分程度の所に掛戸松島があり、こちらも島根県有数の観光スポットとなっています。 駅から徒歩1分で海水浴場に行くことができ、アクセスもいいです。周辺には食事や宿泊できる場所が何件かあります。

(Translated by Google) This was my first time going to Arifuku Onsen, and it was a very good hot spring that lived up to its reputation. When I got out of the parking lot and went up the stairs, there was a hand bath. The temperature of Arifuku Onsen, which flows from above and is the first to touch it, is warm and pleasant to the touch. I thought I had high hopes for this, so I headed to Gozenyu. There is an old guard stand and a good atmosphere! I paid 400 yen for the bath. There was one large bathtub, and when I entered, I was surprised at how deep the water was. Short people and small children will drown if they are not careful. You can experience and enjoy the melting sensation of hot water in just a few minutes. It had a beautiful skin effect! The source water was a high 47 degrees, and it seemed like they were adding water to lower the temperature, but the water was about 42 degrees, so in any case, it was a little high and I felt like I would get hot if I soaked in it for a long time, but the quality of the spring water is great and it feels great. . The hot springs were so good that I wanted to stay at one of the many hotels next time instead of dropping by. (Original) 有福温泉、初めて行ったのですが評判通りのとても良い温泉でした。 駐車場から降りて階段を上がるとまず手湯がありました。上から流れて来ていて初めて触る有福温泉は温度も高くなく肌触りがよく、温かい。これは期待大だと思いいざ御前湯さんへ。 古くからの番台があって雰囲気も良い！入浴代金400円を払い入りました。 １つの大きな湯槽があり、入ると温泉がなみなみにはられていて水深が深く驚きました。背の低い人や小さな子供は注意しないと溺れます。 数分でお湯のトロトロが体感、満喫出来ます。美肌効果ありました！源泉は47度と高めで加水して温度下げてるみたいでしたが、42度くらいのお湯だったのでいずれにせよ高めで長時間浸かるとのぼせそうでしたが、泉質の良さ気持ち良さは絶大です。 次は立ち寄り湯ではなく、何軒かある宿に泊まりたいなと思わせるくらい良い湯でした。
