    "This roadside station is about a 30-minute walk from World Heritage Site Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. Adjacent to Imbara Station on the old Sanko Line, this facility offers a selection of local fresh produce. This particular spot's original product is egoma (perilla), which is rich in α-Linolenic acid. They sell the leaves, seeds, and oil, all of which contain α-Linolenic acid used for the production of EPA/DHA, omega-3 fatty acids, giving this plant the nickname ""blue-backed fish of the field."" This quality has helped it gain attention as a health food, and the restaurant on-site offers meals made with egoma, as well as Iwami-wagyu Yakiniku Don grilled beef rice bowls, Iwami pork ginger saute, and other meal sets."

    道の駅ですがレストランは11時からだったのでトイレ休憩と資料収集しました。その時に大森の街中の普段は非公開の所が特別公開されるのを知りました。

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.
