Iwami Ginza Mines is a great experience. Very peaceful and relaxing. There is only two ways to reach the mine walk or hire a bicycle some of which are electric. Its a 2.5 km easy walk with things to see along the way (temples, shrines and beautiful scenery and toilets). The mine cost is 500 yen and foreigners get a discount. A must see.

Very interesting to see how people lived in the Edo period. Foreigners get a discount. We got a free tour guide but others seemed not to get one so I think that it is just luck. The mines are very interesting but you should watch out for your head as if you are tall you might hit it on the ceiling. Went in the summer and the mines were a lot colder than it was outside. The nearby village is also very pretty; it is almost like you traveled back in time. Would recommend people who like geology or history.
This was one of the most beautiful scenic, little towns I have been to in Japan. The nature/town are very tranquil and the locals where super friendly . The mine history was also very interesting too. Definitely recommend this place, a little bit of the beaten track.
I really enjoy when visiting Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. This place, become UNESCO heritage site because here you will find the trace of the glory silver mine 400 years ago. Roads, tunnels, Samurai's house, and artifacts as remnants of silver mine still exists until now. This place is conserved well until now. Had trade with Europe, prove this silver mine activity affected Japan's economy at that time. Tour into the tunnel will give you the idea how the labors work to get the silver. It really hard to work under having water problems, and the shortage of light and fresh air in the past. Please visit Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, you will not regret!!
This is a great place to take a walk and it is a important place during Japanese history. It provide funds during 1516 century. The Major issue is lack of English resource. It is hard for Foreign visitors to understand the picture by using audio guide. As a UNESCO site, I think it is reasonable to training small number of English guide.
