Ryugenji-mabu, where the marks of a chisel still remain
Ryugenji-mabu is one of the mabu, the entrance of the mine, called "Ojiki-yama" that was controlled by the government of Edo. This is the only mabu where you can pass through among the mabu that are open to the public. With the technology at that time, the laborers could only dig 30 centimeters a day. From the remains of chisel marks in the pit and Iwami-Ginzan Emaki, a paper scroll written during the Edo period, you can see how hard the work was for the laborers. (Entrance fee: 410 yen)

Overwhelming and distinctive atmosphere "Shimizudani Seirenjo-ato"
Shimizudani Seirenjo-ato is the remains of a modern smelting factory built in 1895. Since they couldn't make profit due to the quality of ores, the factory was closed after a year and half later. The eight-stepped stone wall is 33 meters high and was created by using the slopes of the valley. Currently, it is a ruin covered by plants and has a distinctive atmosphere. The actual appearance is spectacular and you will surely be overwhelmed.
