The 500 Arhats near Iwami Ginzan. Hmm, it's small. I thought, but it's actually a World Heritage Site! ! I didn't take any photos, but there were many Jizo statues lined up inside, and there were many beautiful pieces with expressive faces. It was snowing here and there and it was very cold, but it was good. #tripmemory2022 #outdoor #snowscape

Jozenji Temple in Sanbe-cho, Oyama City, Shimane Prefecture Rising up in the narrow grounds of an old temple on the outskirts of town is a giant ginkgo tree that is over 600 years old, with a height of about 30m, a branch width of 23.5m, and a trunk circumference of 9.3m. Its size makes it one of the largest in the prefecture. The best time to see it is usually from mid-November to early December. The grounds under the tree turn into a shining golden carpet. This is a rare hidden spot known only to those in the know, so there are few tourists and you can take your time taking photos. At night during the autumn foliage season, the temple grounds are lit up, creating a fantastic atmosphere. #tripdomestictravel #shimaneprefecture #autumnfoliage #greatview #shrinesandtemples #photogenicspot

|| World Heritage Town around the World Heritage Site.🚶 Visit the World Heritage Site Iwami Ginzan in Oda City, Shimane Prefecture. 📌Omori Town 📌Onsen Tsu . Passing through the small town of Omori, which is adjacent to Ginzan, and then to the port hot spring town of Onsen Tsu, which developed due to mining, the street view is simple and quiet, undoubtedly a slow life. . There are occasional new store signs, or the enthusiastic introduction of shop owners who have moved from big cities like Tokyo, indicating the new changes in the town over the years. . Think of Matsuo Basho's 'Not easy to follow'. . 📝In the Daikan Mountain Ruins-Dragon Source Temple Tunnel section in Omori Town, you can rent electric bicycles or golf carts (up to 6 people) at the Kawamura Bicycle Shop🚲, and the golf carts do not operate every Wednesday.

Shimane, Japan — Wandering around the old town, about 2 km from the mine. The Iwami Silver Mine is the largest silver mine in the world, and one third of the world’s silver produced in the 16th century came from here. This is a village close to the mine, very peaceful. #dreamdestination

Mononobe Shrine is the Ichinomiya of Iwami Province. The deity worshipped here is Umashimaji no Mikoto, ancestor of the Mononobe clan. His father, Nigihayahi no Mikoto, once ruled the land of Yamato. Then, he came into conflict with Kamu Yamato Iwarebiko no Mikoto when he marched eastward. As a result of this conflict, Nigihayahi no Mikoto withdrew, and Kamu Yamato Iwarebiko no Mikoto later became the first emperor, Emperor Jimmu. Umashimaji no Mikoto, who followed Nigihayahi no Mikoto's great achievements, pacified various countries and developed the land! And so, he finally arrived in Iwami Province. He rode on a crane and descended on Mount Tsurubu. (→It comes from the sacred crest "Hioizuru" and is the only one of its kind in the country. There is also a koma crane.) Then, because Mt. Yaoyama resembles Mt. Amanokagu in Yamato, a shrine was built at the foot of Mt. Yaoyama! There is an ancient tomb in the mountains of Mt. Yaoyama, and the grave of the enshrined deity is located there. Other highlights include ◎ "Victory Stone" A large rock on the grounds where the enshrined deity is said to have sat when he descended on a crane. It is said that touching this stone will grant you good luck in winning. ◎ "Temizuishi" A temizuishi in the shape of a magatama, made from "Fukinseki" stone that contains gold dust. Four magatama-shaped stones are embedded in the temizuishi, and each stone is said to bring good luck in terms of wealth or victory, and you can receive good fortune by touching them. The further you trace the roots of Mononobe Shrine, the deeper it goes. Next time, I want to stretch my legs to Orita! If possible, I want to go to the top of Mount Tsuruoka! I thought☺️ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Mononobe Shrine ꕥAddress: 1545 Kawai, Kawai-cho, Oda City, Shimane Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌Oda City Station →About 20 minutes ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Shimane Tourism #Shimane Trip #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour

The world's largest hourglass was really big!! My second son was worried that the hourglass would fall😅 The children had fun learning while watching, touching, and playing with the singing sand, sand objects, and sand from around the world😊 You can also experience glass crafts if you make a reservation. I actually wanted to buy an hourglass as a souvenir, but I was worried that the glass would break, so this time I made a clear candle✨ It turned out so cute that the children were delighted❣️ [Nima Sand Museum] 📍975 Tenkawachi, Nima-cho, Oda-shi, Shimane Prefecture 🚗Free parking available #Domestic travel #Nima Sand Museum #Tourism #Outing with kids #Shimane tourism #Shimane

I went to Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. I wouldn't understand anything if I just walked around the silver mine, so I went to study. At the World Heritage Center, I learned about the history of the silver mine, the process of extracting silver from minerals, and where the pits are made! From here, I went on an electric bicycle tour around the town! #tripmemory2022 #outdoor

To Ryugenji Mabu, the main spot of Iwami Ginzan. It's pronounced "Mabu". Roughly speaking, it's a passageway through the silver mines. It was cool inside, and I walked around remembering the conditions at the time. I'm glad I studied at the World Heritage Center. I went there by bike, but it's definitely better to rent an electric bike! #tripmemory2022 #outdoor
