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.

Restaurants

Chīnaka Mame Kotogahama

1 Reviews

At Kotobahama Beach famous for the crying sands, a cafe opens when summer comes. It was used to be a beach house. Swimming in the Japan Sea in front of your eyes, and gazing the sea from the cafe would be both good. Sometimes we can see dolphins. I like their pizza grilled in the oven offered only for weekends. On this day, we took two-thirds of the pizza to home.

Komejirushi

1 Reviews

They don't use animal-food. Their sweets made from body-friendly food are very tasty. Besides, there's a stream in the woods of Komejirushi, so we can enjoy walking around. They can make us really refreshed. Ōnan Town, located on the border of Hiroshima and Shimane, is a town with many delicious food.
