A World Heritage, Iwami Silver Mine With Many Old RemainsIwami Ginzan Silver Mine
Among other world heritages, Iwami Ginzan Silver Mind is inconspicuous at first sight. But, if you want to see the attractions, Ookubo Mabu (a mine gate) Tour must be better! Such as holes with traces of digging and remains like terrace, you can see the scenes in Edo Period (between the 16-17th centuries) !◎The tour entries need to reserve beforehand, and meet at Iwami Ginzan World Heritage Center, then move to Ookubomabu by bus and on foot. Though you need to walk for a while, you can feel like to be a archaeologist. By the way, you can look Ryugenji Mabu without taking part in the tours.
