- Fukumitsu Ishi Stone Quarry
- Travel / Tourism
- Shimane Oda-shi Yunotsucho Fukumitsu Ha 1421
- This is the most productive stone quarry in Shimane prefecture, and this facility now offers a glimpse at the history and culture of around 450 years of quarrying here. The stone Fukumitsu-ishi quarried after the late Warring States period is light blue-green tuff, and it was used for the statues of Gohyaku-rakan (five hundred arhats) in the World Heritage Site Iwami Ginzan silver mine. This stone stands out for its excellent humidity control, sound absorption and anti-slip effect, and is a common material for bathroom floors, coasters, shrine torii gates, waterways, and more. Quarrying work still continues in this cool, quiet mine shaft.

休日松江に用事があって行った際、数時間空白の時間が出来たので足を運びました。私達が訪問した日は、晴天で景色がとても美しくて、隠岐の島も見えました。 館内の展示物は、特に面白くはありませんが、小さな子供たちが熱心に眺めていました。

Shimane Areas
What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
