    "This is a submerged forest exhibition of an area that was once covered by a volcanic eruption about 4000 years ago. The underground exhibit room is an excavated room of a circle shape of 30 meters in diameter and depth of 13.5 meters.

    ロマン溢れる「三瓶小豆原 埋没林公園」です。かなりお勧めです。4000年前、縄文時代の森がよみがえる!? この小豆原の森は、縄文時代、「三瓶火山」によって、「密閉状態」で地中に埋もれたままだったらしいです。そして時は流れ、1983年それを発見し、現在、「三瓶小豆原...

    Iwami Silver Mine was controlled by the “Bakufu” (Shogunate) prefectural governor in the Edo period. The museum sits on the ruins of the Oomori local governor’s office. The building which was built in 1902 was used just as it was as the Nima district office, and opened as a museum in 1976. You can learn the history of the Iwami Silver Mine with pictorial scrolls, archives and mining tools on display.

    入り口にはいも代官の屋敷と表示されていました。もとの代官屋敷のようです。飢饉に備え芋の栽培を奨励したということで、いも代官と言われたようです。

    平日の昼時に行ったら独り占めでした。コロナ対策はきちんとしています。 先ずは脱衣所にある水道のイオン水を一杯飲んでから入りましょうという案内通りに従います。次に掛け湯をして温泉に浸かり思いっきり空気を吸い込んでまったりします。 湯の温度は42度くらいでしょう。初めにイオン水を飲んだからでしょうか、湯に浸かっていてものぼせることなく気持ち良く浸かっていられます。 独占からか50分くらい滞在しました...

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

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.
