    "This is a museum that displays the largest hourglass in the world. There is also a replica of a sand calendar, art works of sand objects as well as a science corner where there is a singing sand map of the world and sand samples from around the world. Many events are held and visitors can also experience glass craft. Many people visit on the 31st of December for the ""Time Festival"". "

    世界最大らしい砂時計、砂暦「「一年計砂時計」がありますよ。それだけかなぁー。 「鳴り砂」で知られる「琴ヶ浜」の近くということで、作られたらしい「仁摩サンドミュージアム」。「砂」に関する展示の数々、体験コーナーなどもあります。家族連れには良いかもです。 一つだけ言いたいことは、「仁摩サンドミュージアム」全体の建物の作りですね。「駐車場」から「施設」へ離れすぎているかな。なんとかしてもらいたいな。

    手作り感のある「三瓶自然館サヒメル」でした。こちらにも「三瓶小豆原埋没林」が展示されてあります。 家族連れには良い感じの、分かりやすい説明の「三瓶自然館サヒメル」だと思います。私は「三瓶小豆原埋没林」目的で訪れましたが、「三瓶小豆原埋没林」だけでなく、「自然系の博物館」として面白く観覧することが出来ました。お勧めです。

    Shimane Oda-shi
    This is one of the shafts, or mabu, that make up 2007 designated World Heritage Site Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape. Starting from Iwami Ginzan World Heritage Center, you can tour the Kinseiko shaft, which was dug to drain excess water and bring out ore, and the Okubo Mabu shaft, the largest of the remaining shafts. The Okubo shaft was named after the first director of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, Okubo Nagayasu, and is beyond any of the others in scope. It reaches a maximum height of five meters, and there are legends of how Nagayasu rode down it on horseback holding a spear. The massive Fukuishiba quarry spreading in the back is also an impressive site.

    インターネットで情報を見つけて事前にオンライン申込みしました。当日でも受付けているようですが人数に限りがあるそうで事前申込みがお勧めです。申込書に出発の20分前までに来るようにとの指示があったのですが20分前に行ったところもう館内での説明は始まっていました。坑道への移動開始がツアー開始時間みたいです。20分前にはトイレとかもすませて準備万端にしておいたほうがいいです。 地元のガイドさんに連れられバ...

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.
