    Shimane Oki-gun Okinoshimacho 615-1
    A cultural museum in Okinoshima Town about 20 minutes by car from Saigo Port. The building has a modern looking facade and showcases traditional entertainment while offering tourist information for Dozen and Dogo islands. As soon as you enter the building, a unique Oki kite variety called an iguri-dako kite will catch your eye. They have 10 ear-like curves along the outer edge, and people fly them around first spring storm in March every year. They also display items related to famous Okinoshima Town bullfighting and traditional sumo, with impressive full-scale models and taxidermy.

    西郷港から山を越えて北上し、五箇地区にある施設。街道から一本入ったところで、看板等ないので行き過ぎ注意。 郷土資料館とのセットでチケット買うとお得です。牛の模型やローカルスタイルの相撲など、隠岐の知識を得られます。

    Shimane Oki-gun Amacho Ama
    A museum opposite Oki-jinja Shrine, which honors Emperor Gotoba. In a modern Japanese-Western-style building near old pine trees, it mainly has displays related to him. Emperor Gotoba is said to have lived in Ama Town after being exiled to Oki. The museum, the shrine, and the Emperor's burial site are all close together, so many people visit all three. Texts said to have been written when he was afflicted by disease and a long sword that's been designated a prefectural Cultural Property are on display.

    隠岐神社の鳥居前にある資料館。隠岐神社まで行ったなら手軽に立ち寄れるが、それ以外であればわざわざ行く価値があるかどうかはかなり微妙。内部は思った程広くなく、正直値段を考えればコスパはギリギリに近いところ。

    Shimane Oki-gun Okinoshimacho Shimonishi
    A historic building tucked away in the eastern part of Oki Island. It's the site of the Oki clan's residence, who were hereditary priests of Tamawakasu-mikoto-jinja Shrine. It has cultural properties on display like an old ekirei bell and ancient copper seals. During the ancient Ritsuryo period, ekirei were used to requisition people and horses. It's the only one of its kind left in Japan. Along with the family's residence with a thatched gabled roof next to Tamawakasu-mikoto-jinja Shrine, it is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property.

    Shimane Oki-gun Nishinoshima Cho Beppu 275
    A museum located about a five-minute drive from Beppu Port. At the entrance of Kuroki Imperial Palace where Emperor Godaigo stayed after being exiled to Oki, it exhibits documents and paintings related to the Emperor. It is most often visited before heading to the Imperial Palace, and the caretaker will carefully explain the background of Emperor Godaigo and the Ruins of Kuroki Imperial Palace. It'll help you picture the life he lived in the year-plus he spent there, as well as the tension he must have felt when escaping.

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.
